Is it possible to remove the borders around images that have been Inserted Over a Cell?
In the example pic; The left-side is how it appears while editing the sheet, with no borders as desired. The right-side is how it appears in the published sheet, with an unwanted border.
example image
I have turned Gridlines Off in the View menu.
I have tried using the Border options, which don't affect the image. The border options only affect whatever cell is also selected (and one cell 'has' to be selected - I can't just select the image on its own. See next example pic)
example image2
Notice it appears that the image which i want to remove the border from is selected, but then also notice the cell to the right is also selected. The border option only affects the cell, not the image.
Changing the BG colour so that the borders cannot be seen isn't an option because i have various images and background colours.
Also, inserting the image as a Drawing isn't an option because any gif images are then static/unanimated.
Thank you.
edit: I did spend a lot of time searching for an answer for this and noticed someone asked a similar question almost 2 years ago, which received no answers.
Seems i will have to find a totally different app to use just because of that one issue. I'm not sure why google would force borders around images and have no option to remove them. I wish i had known that before completing everything and publishing it.

I'm building a set of slides with bullets. I want to use "appearance" animations so I can step through the bullets with the space bar. On several slides, I have a screenshot image that I've positioned right after the bullet I want the image to be associated with. However, when I add appearance animations, the slide just displays all the screenshot images immediately, before any of the bullets appear. It seems like PowerPoint treats the images as "floating", and not associated with the bullets.
What can I do here?
The fact that the screenshot image is near the bullet doesn't make it part of the bullet or associated text, so it's behaving as expected.
Instead, try using a custom picture bullet for the text or using individual lines of text, each grouped with the screenshot image and each animated individually.
I´ve a cropped picture in a powerpoint layer and I want to change the picture without changing the size of the cropping area.
If I change the image by clicking "change picture" the cropping area resizes too, to show the whole picture.
How can I do that without changing the cropping area?
In Apple Keynote you only have to drag the picture you want to the cropping area and you only have to align it.
From my experience, I'm afraid you have to set the crop manually by "Format Picture" -"Crop" to remain the same cropping area when you replace a picture.
This isn't much help, but Libreoffice will do this. Crop, resize, then select your image and re-insert a new image - formatting will be the same, perfect for when you want to quickly redo formatting for same sized images.
In my experience, a picture that you insert to replace an existing one, using Change Picture, will "inherit" the crop&size settings of the old picture IF the old&new images are actually of the same size (in pixels) - if not, the new one will revert to the default crop&size so you will have to redo these manually.
This changes if the image to-be-replaced has any crop setting applied to it in Powerpoint. In this case, the replacing image will not inherit those, and might also be inserted with a different size&position, leading most likely to an unwanted result & further work needed.
A workaround I found is to first remove the crop setting from the old picture, replace with new image, then reapply the crop. This is still less work than having to manually redo the size&position (or to define these based on numbers copied from the PropertiesPane of the old image).
Quick work around: if you plan to have multiple same size images and you wish to use change image to swap the content on each page (something we do with floor plans all the time); don't bother cropping them.
Put the whole image in and crop it by sticking shapes on top of it, which are the same color as the presentation background color, like a mask.
optionally crop the images only when the whole presentation is finished.
I run into a problem with Geoserver.
I'm drawing multiple icons which each represent a place all over my map using ExternalGraphic.
But geoserver didn't draw them correctly as they are. I attach an image as the result of geoserver drawing:
As you can see, the 2 car icon, both got cut off around 1 pixel comapre to its original size (1 got cut off from top down while another from bottom up). It make same icon look differentfrom place to place. And i think because of this cutting, after lose some pixel, they resize the image back to its original size, which make the $ on top left look blurry compare to the one next to it.
Also as in External graphic document mention, i didn't use any Size attribute so they won't get resize or anything. So i'm not sure why the image got cut off like that.
Any1 can help me about this case ? Thank you in advance.
I suggest you open a report at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS attaching one of the images and your style document.
I want to export certain shapes in powerpoint as images. For that I am using the following code:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Export "C:\dink_template\created_files\testimg.jpg", ppShapeFormatJPG
I also tried with other image formats:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Export "C:\dink_template\created_files\testimg.png", ppShapeFormatPNG
and I get this image:
Here you cannot notice because the white peace that appears in the image button (and also a bit in the top) is mixing with the page but if you make inspect element on the photo you will see it.
As you can see in this other image in powerpoint the shape fix perfectly and it is not bigger that the image:
Why is appearing this white peace in the top and in the button? How can I export the image without them?
EDIT
I know when it is happening. Because I try with other ones and sometimes they where not appearing and sometime it was. The problem is that when the text you write in the shape is so close to the border and you export it as image it export with this white space. Now the question is... how can I solve this?
One option would be to adjust the size of your shape and/or the size of the text accordingly to the total text length, before exporting it as an image, in order to make sure that your text will never be too close to the border...
Something else: have you checked the margins properties of your shape? Putting them to 0 might help a bit.
I was looking for a custom image grid and found a similar question that had a really sweet component in an answer.
I downloaded the code and after some fiddling, I managed to get it to compile in DXE2. It looks really cool, but I can't get either scrollbar to show up. I also can't figure out how to dynamically control the images displayed. Or how to update the grid based on keyboard events.
Also, to get it to compile I had to remove the GR32 references; the library I downloaded had too many incompatibilities with DXE2 for me to resolve.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This really looks like a killer component.
Update from Bill:
Here is a screenshot of incorrect thumbnail painting. I can not get the thumbnails to look like the screenshot from the component in question.
If the thumbnails were painted at the same XY as the rects painted in the first pass they would look much better. Any idea on what is going on?
... but I can't get either scrollbar to show up.
Well, there is no horizontal scrollbar. There is the property ColWidth that controls how much images are drawn in one row, depending on the control's width. You might update ColWidth in an OnResize event handler due to anchor settings, for example.
The vertical scroll bar appears automatically when not all images (incl. spacing) fit in the clientrect. The images are drawn on a TPaintBox and that paint box' size is updated as soon as the image count changes:
procedure TImageGrid.RearrangeImages;
begin
...
FPainter.Height := Max(ClientHeight,
FRowCount * (FRowHeight + FImageSpacing) - FImageSpacing);
The component inherites from TScrollingWinControl, so the scroll bar should modify accordingly. If not, then Bill has a workaround found as commented:
VertScrollBar.Range := FRowCount * (FRowHeight + FImageSpacing) - FImageSpacing;
I understand this obviously also works, but I really wonder why the scroll bar's range should be modified manually. Here in D7 I have no problem with a hidden vertical scroll bar.
... I also can't figure out how to dynamically control the images displayed. ...
The most easy way to fill the component is by assigning the Folder property to a path with images. Only the images with the file formats in the FileFormats property will be loaded. To specify the images manually (e.g. to combine multiple folders), use the FileNames property. When the Folder property is set, then the FileNames property is updated accordingly, but those file names are not stored in the DFM. When you change the file names (e.g. you delete one from the folder), then the Folder property is cleared and the component uses the FileNames property instead.
... Or how to update the grid based on keyboard events. ...
The only keystrokes currently implemented are Up, Down, PageUp, PageDown, Home and End which all scroll the control. What more key actions do you wish? It's a viewer.
Here is a screenshot of incorrect thumbnail painting. I can not get the thumbnails to look like the screenshot from the component in question. ... If the thumbnails were painted at the same XY as the rects painted in the first pass they would look much better.
While loading the images, a temporary rect is drawn with size ColWidth * RowHeight. All images are stretchdrawn within that size, so adjust your ratio of these properties to make the spacing equal everywhere. Note that you can also influence appearance with the ImageHorzAlign and ImageVertAlign properties.
Update:
The component you refer to is recently completely rewritten, and some of the answers above are outdated.
It now has a Propertional property that defaults to True, but when set False, it will stretch up the thumbs to whatever cell size you have set, independent from the original image sizes. Small images could remain narow though, unless you set the new Stretch property to True.
It now distinguishes between RowHeight and CellHeight, and ColWidth and CellWidth. The difference between both is CellSpacing.
The component does not descend from TScrollingWinControl anymore, but from TCustomControl and only the vertical scroll bar is added.
