Better support for images

[PrzemyslawKlys]

• Support for JPG
• Support for BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF
• Support for images in headers/footers - Add images to headers/footers/tables and other image improvements #53
• Support for images in tables - Add images to headers/footers/tables and other image improvements #53
• Wrap Text
• Alt Text
• Size and position
• Format Picture

I am not sure if those are even possible or word does this natively, but I'll add it here

• Corrections
• Transparency Effects
• Artistic Effects

@PrzemyslawKlys, I am having trouble adding jpg or png to header. The word doc says image can not be displayed.
Any ideas
??

Please open separate issues for "problems". But from what I see there's no AddImage() for Headers/Footers so not sure how you add it? :-)

I guess we need to add it.

Ah, i see how you did it:

                var header = document.Header.Default;
                header.AddParagraph("This is header");
                //header.AddImage(filePathImage, 100, 100);
                header.AddParagraph().AddImage(filePathImage, 100, 100);

And yes it doesn't work. I'll take a look. Probably image references is done differently.

@PrzemyslawKlys: correct, that is how i did it. I appologize for not adding an issue, I felt I was using the package incorrectly.

Apparently pre-2021 release word does not support transparency for images. Do you think it might be a good idea to script transparency onto the image file itself using something like ImageMagick (effectively just manipulating the opacity channel or inserting it if it doesn't exist)? That might be just entirely outside the scope of the library.

I have a project for PowerShell that uses SixLabors which is already part of OfficeIMO to do image manipulations:

• https://github.com/EvotecIT/ImagePlayground

Part of it is image manipulation:

Probably ImagePlayground could be published as separate nuget and one could use it's features which automate some of those SixLabors things.
