Support to add images to a new or existing Spreadsheet

[ufo2mstar]

Hi @weshatheleopard ,
I have been looking through the documentation and code examples, and am not able to find if there is a provision to add new image files to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please advice if this is a feature that exists or is in the plans of being added, as I was having some issues with image scaling with the Axlsx gem and was looking for some alternatives. I am liking a lot of parsability and file editability that rubyXL provides 😄 but image addition and manipulation would be a good addition for my usecase.
Thanks!

Hi @weshatheleopard ,
I have the same question and try to add images from my Rails app into a xlsx template.

Bump on this. Must have for us to be able to add images to a parsed spreadsheet. I've looked through the docs, issues, examples and haven't found anything that indicates this is possible.

Hi!
Anyone found a solution ?

[weshatheleopard]

Adding images to a spreadsheet is not as easy as it sounds, and unfortunately I do not have enough time to investigate all the details that are involved. If you are willing to write the code that I could incorporate in the gem, be my guest.

@MatthiasRMS: it is possible to develop this feature for you, but I will need examples of what you want to see, can you give me a sample file of what the desired output is for you?

Hey @weshatheleopard ,
there was a hack on the excel side I did, that made it slightly possible. I can give this a shot, but would love some direction from you on where you think I should start on this from (as I was looking through the XML contracts needed for Excelizing things earlier)..
or any other person whom it I can reach out to to get some direction?
