Description

Element definition

You may use this element to insert images (jpg, gif or png) into your Word document.

You may easily control:

  • the embedding and positioning of the image within a complex paragraph.
  • the size (if not explicitely given, phpdocx tries to read the width and height from the image headers).
  • the dpi or dots per inch (by default they are taken from the image headers or set to 96 dpi).
  • the scale (default 100%).
  • the target: main document (default), headers or footers.

If one wishes to insert an image within a complex paragraph or a table one should use this element in combination with the addText or the addTable element.
