Hello, all. I'm new to POI and am trying to create a tool that will automatically generate a simple PowerPoint slideshow from data in our application. The data contains images, so I'd like to include those in the slides. However, I've not been able to figure out the way to add a picture to a slideshow.
I saw this page: http://poi.apache.org/slideshow/how-to-shapes.html#Pictures which suggests use of the HSLFSlideShow.addPicture() method. However, that page is marked as being from 2007, and the the version of the JAR that I downloaded has that method taking different arguments: the docs at that link refer to addPicture(File, Picture.PictureType), but the jar has addPicture(PictureData). Since PictureData has only a no-arg constructor, I'm not sure how to get the actual image file into the system. Short version: I know to add PictureData via HSLFSlideShow.addPicture(). But how do I create PictureData for a particular image file? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Adding-a-picture-to-a-slideshow-tp23086234p23086234.html Sent from the POI - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
