Unable to insert multiple images in writer

[freelancer.vijaya]

Hi,

I am trying to run the sample program that I got from https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/API/Sa ... csInserter

I have around 10 images in a folder.
I am trying to insert them all in the sample code below
The problem is I am unable to insert all images in single document.

When i was trying to modify the programe, the images either didnt appear in same doc or overlapped each other.

Need help on how to add all images in single document and also the images should be inserted one after another vertically.

So, please help me to do the following:


Open doc
start loop:
insert image1
insert image2
.
.
.
insert imagen

save and close the doc and exit.

Also, the images should appear one after another vertically.

I've been breaking my head for almost 3 hrs now...


Thanks in advance.

Analyse where the insertion cursor is and figure out how to move it about. Change AnchorType for the graphics to another value (you need to understand what these are and what they do). One cannot just take code and expect it to work exactly for your requirements - you must understand what it is doing.

You have already asked this question on the OO dev list.

Hi Rory,

I have tried modifying the anchor as advised by you. However, the images do overlap, as each image has the same anchor settings.

Also anchoring is to specify if the image should stick to paragraph or page or frame and so on....

My requirement is i write some text and some images to the doc. It can be anywhere in the doc. Start of the doc or in between text (not wrapped) or at the end of doc. All is fine till I have only one image in the whole doc. However, If I need to write multiple images, continuously as i specified in my above post. The images overlap each other.

In fact I tried inserting (ctrl+c on image file and ctrl+v) the image manually in the writer. Images are overlapping even if I do it that way. I even tried the insert image through menu manually in the writer. The images are still getting overlapped.

The only way to allign them vertically is to insert all the images and dragging using mouse pointer.
In that case only the vertical alignment changes.

Now, my problem is I do the image insertion through java. In java. I was wondering if I could compute the image height and thus set the image position.

Try to anchor the pictures to the page. In this case you can compute (apriximately) the positions of the picturtes (in one page) based on the size of the pictures.
