How to create a floating image

[mgrela]

Hi,

how to create a floating (as opposed to an inline) image with docx4j ? After loading the image as a binary part:

BinaryPartAbstractImage imagePart = BinaryPartAbstractImage.createImagePart(pkg, source_part, new File(filename));

the only function which can be called on that is createImageInline, which produces the image wrapped in an <inline> element not the <anchor> element like I would like it to be. Is it possible ?

For clarity, could you please attach a docx containing just a floating image (ie produced using Word or perhaps OpenOffice)?

[mgrela]

Here you go. I'd like to get this result - I can move the image around without it being constrained by the text flow.

Parsed in 0.019 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

are 3 methods modelled on the Inline ones which should do what you want.

Note that this version has <wp:wrapNone/>. If you look at the spec, the "DrawingML - WordprocessingML Drawing" section, you'll see the other options, and what all the attributes do.

Thanks, I will test.

wat is imageInfo ? Where have you declared it?

[jason]

You should read https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... Image.java

There is now also available to docx4j webapp (linked in menu above) which can generate for you code matching whatever floating/wrapping options you have selected in your sample docx.

Hi,
I'm not clear on something: the above mentioned methods are commented out since Nov, 2012.

Is there a reason for this?
Thanks
