It is possible to insert an image object at a certain cell location of the worksheet, with the help of insert_image() method. Basically, you have to specify the location of cell using any type of notation and the image to be inserted.
worksheet.insert_image(''C5'', ''logo.png'')
The insert_image() method takes following optional parameters in a dictionary.
| Parameter | Default |
|---|---|
| ”x_offset” | 0, |
| ”y_offset” | 0, |
| ”x_scale” | 1, |
| ”y_scale” | 1, |
| ”object_position” | 2, |
| ”image_data” | None |
| ”url” | None |
| ”description” | None |
| ”decorative” | False |
The offset values are in pixels. The x_scale and y_scale parameters are used to scale the image horizontally and vertically.
The image_data parameter is used to add an in-memory byte stream in io.BytesIO format.
Example
The following program extracts the image data from a file in the current folder and uses is as value for image_data parameter.
from io import BytesIO
import xlsxwriter
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook(''hello.xlsx'')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
filename = ''logo.png''
file = open(filename, ''rb'')
data = BytesIO(file.read())
file.close()
worksheet.insert_image(''C5'', filename, {''image_data'': data})
workbook.close()
Output
Here is the view of the resultant worksheet −
