How to centrally align an Image in Excel using apache poi - image

HSSFPatriarch drawing = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
HSSFClientAnchor my_anchor = (HSSFClientAnchor) helper.createClientAnchor();
my_anchor.setAnchorType(HSSFClientAnchor.DONT_MOVE_AND_RESIZE);
my_anchor.setCol1(0);
// my_anchor.
my_anchor.setRow1(excelData.getRowNum());
strb.append(" ");
HSSFPicture my_picture = drawing.createPicture(my_anchor, my_picture_id);
/* Call resize method, which resizes the image */
my_picture.resize();
I am passing sheet, helper as parameter to my method.
With this code, still Image Icon can be moved in the excel sheet.
Also I want to set the vertical alignment for the icon in the cell as bottom aligned. Please suggest.

You can align the image using anchor, adjust the values of Dx1, Dy1, Dx2 and Dy2 accordingly. Below is the example:-
ClientAnchor anchor = sheet.getWorkbook().getCreationHelper().createClientAnchor();
anchor.setDx1(0);
anchor.setDy1(0);
anchor.setDx2(0);
anchor.setDy2(0);
Refer to the below URL for complete example:-
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/ss/examples/AddDimensionedImage.java

You can align the image using anchor, adjust the values of Dx1, Dy1, Dx2 and Dy2, pict.resize() accordingly. Below is the example:
ClientAnchor anchor = sheet.getWorkbook().getCreationHelper().createClientAnchor();
Modify below values s per your original image size
anchor.setDx1(0);
anchor.setDy1(0);
anchor.setDx2(90);
anchor.setDy2(90);
// Creates a picture
Picture pict = drawing.createPicture(anchor, pictureIdx);
// Reset the image to the original size
Modify below value s per your original image size
pict.resize(1.75);
Please refer updated below URL for complete example: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/poi-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/poi/examples/ss/AddDimensionedImage.java

Vaadin 8 grid: Size image in grid cell?

I try to render an image in a grid cell as follows:
grid.addColumn(probe ->
new ThemeResource("img/" + probe.getStructureData().getImageFileName()),
new ImageRenderer()
).setCaption("Structure");
I want to set the size of the image in pixel. How can I do this? It seems the ImageRenderer has no method for this.
Of cause I could size my images before. But I would like to add a big image that should be shown as tooltip and a small version of the same image should be shown in the grid cell. I would like to avoid adding the same image in 2 sizes.
Thank you!
Try doing it this way.
grid.addComponentColumn(probe -> {
Image image = new Image("", new ThemeResource("img/" + probe.getStructureData().getImageFileName()));
image.setWidth(100, Sizeable.Unit.PIXELS);
image.setHeight(100, Sizeable.Unit.PIXELS);
return image;
}).setCaption("Structure");

Put an image in the center of a cell with migradoc

I need to put an image in the center of a table's cell.
When I add the image in a cell the image is aligned topleft.
How can I align the image in the center of a cell?
You might need to add a paragraph to the cell, set the alignment on the paragraph, and then add the image to the paragraph.
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
row.Cells[0].VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph().AddImage(imageLocation);
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
row.Cells[0].VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
In my version of MigraDoc, Jeff and Reuben's solution does not work as shown: Setting the cell's Format.Alignment property has no effect, even when the image is inside a paragraph.
However, what does work for me is to put the image in a paragraph, just as Jeff and Reuben say, then give the paragraph a named style which includes centering.
In my method which predefines all my styles, I do something like:
// Here we assume the "TableText" style has already been created
var sty = doc.Styles.AddStyle( "TableTextCenter", "TableText" );
sty.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
And at the point where I add the image, I do this:
var para = table.Cells[ 0 ].AddParagraph();
para.Style = "TableTextCenter"; // <----- This is the magic!
var img = para.AddImage( imageFileSpec );
img.LockAspectRatio = true;
img.Width = "4cm";
img.WrapFormat = new WrapFormat {
Style = WrapStyle.Through
};
As #Reuben says, what is interesting is:
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph().AddImage(imageLocation);
I was trying with
row.Cells[0].AddImage(imageLocation);
And the image was inserted in the document but I couln't get it centered.

How to get image value of a cell in a datagridview?

I want to toggle image in DataGridViewImageColumn on doubleClick, but i can't get the current image value of the cell
DataGridViewImageColumn delCol = new DataGridViewImageColumn();
Image myImage = NewsBarEditor.Properties.Resources.red;
delCol.Image = myImage;
I want to toggle the image to "green" on doubleClick event if current image is red
You need to use the Value property of the column rather than Image.
delCol.Value = myImage;

Rotate paragraphs or cells some arbitrary number of degrees -- Itext

I have a web site where the users upload photos and create photobooks. Also, they can add text at absolute positions, rotations, and alignments. The text can have new lines.
I've been using the Itext Library to automatize the creation of the Photobooks High Quality Pdfs that are printed latter on.
Adding the user uploaded images to the PDFs was really simple, the problem comes when I try to add the text.
In theory what I would need to do, is to define a paragraph of some defined width and height, set the users text, font, font style, alignment (center, left, right, justify), and finally set the rotation.
For what i've read about Itext, i could create a paragraph set the user properties, and use a ColumnText Object to set the absolute position, width and height. However it's not possibly to set the rotation of anything bigger than single line.
I can't use table cells either, because the rotation method only allow degrees that are multiples of 90.
Is there a way to add a paragraph with some rotation (say 20 degrees) without having to add the text line by line using the ColumnText.showTextAligned() method and all math that involves?
---- Edit: 08-Ago-2013 ----
If it helps anyone, this is the code I used to solve this problem (thanks to Bruno):
//Create the template that will contain the text
PdfContentByte canvas = pdfWriter.getDirectContent();
PdfTemplate textTemplate = canvas.createTemplate(imgWidth, imgHeight); //The width and height of the text to be inserted
ColumnText columnText = new ColumnText(textTemplate);
columnText.setSimpleColumn(0, 0, imgWidth, imgHeight);
columnText.addElement(paragraph);
columnText.go();
//Create de image wraper for the template
Image textImg = Image.getInstance(textTemplate);
//Asign the dimentions of the image, in this case, the text
textImg.setInterpolation(true);
textImg.scaleAbsolute(imgWidth, imgHeight);
textImg.setRotationDegrees((float) -textComp.getRotation()); //Arbitrary number of degress
textImg.setAbsolutePosition(imgXPos, imgYPos);
//Add the text to the pdf
pdfDocument.add(textImg);
Create a PdfTemplate object; just a rectangle.
Draw your ColumnText on this PdfTemplate; don't worry about the rotation, just fill the rectangle with whatever content you want to add to the column.
Wrap the PdfTemplate inside an Image object; this is just for convenience, to avoid the math. This doesn't mean your text will be rasterized.
Now apply a rotation and an absolute position to the Image and add it to your document.
Your problem is now solved ;-)
PS: I'm the author of the iText in Action books.
thanks to both our friends (Bruno & BernalCarlos)
my final code for users that use "RTL" in their projects is here :
// step 1
Document document = new Document();
document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);
// step 2
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(destination_file));
CreateBorder event = new CreateBorder();
writer.setPageEvent(event);
// step 3
document.open();
// step 4
int imgWidth=400;
int imgHeight=50;
//Create the template that will contain the text
PdfContentByte canvas = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfTemplate textTemplate = canvas.createTemplate(imgWidth, imgHeight);
//The width and height of the text to be inserted
ColumnText columnText = new ColumnText(textTemplate);
columnText.setSimpleColumn(0, 0, imgWidth, imgHeight);
columnText.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
columnText.addElement(new Paragraph("محاسبه بار غیر متعادل", font_IranSemiBold));
columnText.go();
//Create de image wraper for the template
Image textImg = Image.getInstance(textTemplate);
//Asign the dimentions of the image, in this case, the text
textImg.setInterpolation(true);
textImg.scaleAbsolute(imgWidth, imgHeight);
textImg.setRotationDegrees(90); //Arbitrary number of degress
textImg.setAbsolutePosition(50, 200);
//Add the text to the pdf
document.add(textImg);
// step 5
document.close();

How can I add an image to a PDF at specific x-y coordinates using IText?

I have existing PDFs to which I need to dynamically add an image/images. The image comes from a file upload. Once I have the file uploaded, how can specify where to place the image on the PDF. One code snippet I found does not work correctly. This needs to work for PDFs with any number of pages. From what I understand, absolute positioning is set from the bottom-left corner of the last page of the PDF. If I need an image to be displayed 30 pixels from the top and 50 pixels from the left of page 1, how can I accomplish this? Or, if I need to display an image 50px from the top/100 px from the left on page 2?
I've tried using the code found at http://rip747.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/add-an-image-dynamically-to-a-pdf-with-cf-and-itext/. I've modified it for my needs below:
<cfscript>
myLeft = 30;
myTop = 50;
myPageNum = 1;
// output buffer to write PDF
fileIO = createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init(myOutputPath);
// reader to read our PDF
reader = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(mySourcePath);
// stamper so we can modify our existing PDF
stamper = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper").init(reader, fileIO);
// get the content of our existing PDF
content = stamper.getOverContent(reader.getNumberOfPages());
// create an image object so we can add our dynamic image to our PDF
image = createobject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Image");
// initalize our image
img = image.getInstance(imgPath);
x = (reader.getPageSize(1).width() - img.scaledWidth()) - myLeft;
y = (reader.getPageSize(1).height() - img.scaledHeight()) - myTop;
// now we assign the position to our image
img.setAbsolutePosition(javacast("float", x), javacast("float", y));
// add our image to the existing PDF
content.addImage(img);
// flattern our form so our values show
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
// close the stamper and output our new PDF
stamper.close();
// close the reader
reader.close();
</cfscript>
The above code places my image at the top-right corner of page 2 - 50px form the top/30px from the left.
I know I'm close...just need a little help getting this nailed down for my needs.
I've updated my code. This gets the image to the top left corner of page 2 - correct positioning, but I want it on page 1:
x = myLeft;
y = (reader.getPageSize(1).height()) - img.scaledHeight() - myTop;
I thought maybe I needed to add the height of page 1 to get the image up to page 1, but the image completely disappears when I try either of the options below:
// I figure I'll need something like this to handle multi-page docs
y = (reader.getPageSize(1).height() * reader.getNumberOfPages()) - img.scaledHeight() - myTop;
y = reader.getPageSize(1).height() + reader.getPageSize(1).height() - img.scaledHeight() - myTop;
You're getting your "OverContent" from stamper.getOverContent(reader.getNumberOfPages());. The parameter for getOverContent() is the page number. So your code is getting a PdfContentByte for the last page, not the first.
I found my answer:
The page number has to be set in com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper.getOverContent():
content = stamper.getOverContent(myPageNum);
Knew it was easy.
are you using CF8+? You can use
<cfpdf action="addWatermark" source="myPDF.pdf" image="myImage.jpg"
position="0,0" rotation="0" showOnPrint="true" opacity="10">
