Represents an image in the worksheet. To get the corresponding Shape object, use Image.shape.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.9 ]

Properties

brightness

Specifies the brightness of the image. The value for this property must be a number from 0.0 (dimmest) to 1.0 (brightest).

colorType

Specifies the type of color transformation applied to the image.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

contrast

Specifies the contrast of the image. The value for this property must be a number from 0.0 (the least contrast) to 1.0 (the greatest contrast).

cropBottom

Specifies the number of points that are cropped off the bottom of the image.

cropLeft

Specifies the number of points that are cropped off the left side of the image.

cropRight

Specifies the number of points that are cropped off the right side of the image.

cropTop

Specifies the number of points that are cropped off the top of the image.

format

Returns the format of the image.

id

Specifies the shape identifier for the image object.

shape

Returns the Shape object associated with the image.

Methods

incrementBrightness(increment)

Increments the brightness of the image by a specified amount.

incrementContrast(increment)

Increments the contrast of the image by a specified amount.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.Image object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.ImageData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

Parameters

options
Excel.Interfaces.ImageLoadOptions

Provides options for which properties of the object to load.

Returns
