feature: add multiple pictures in the same paragraph

[zhongle]

Hi, Scanny,

For docx add_picture function, is it support add multiple pictures in the same paragraph?

in your pptx, add_picture(left, top, width, height) can add multiple graph to a single row

by input parameter. There are only width and height for docx.

Thanks,
Le

@zhongle - not with the current API. But of course Word and the XML format support this. This page in the technical documentation may give you an idea how inline pictures in Word work. http://python-docx.readthedocs.org/en/latest/dev/analysis/features/shapes-inline.html

By going down to the lxml level you should be able to accomplish what you're after.

Hi, Scanny,

I have solve the multi-pic issue by adding multi-inline shapes under drawing, thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks,

That's great @zhongle, glad you got it working. If you can share the code you developed as a Gist and link it here, that may be helpful to others who want to do this sort of thing :)

Hi, Scanny,

Sure, glad to share, main flow code as below:

def add_picture_to_run(run, picture_file, width=None, height=None):
    """
    Add a picture at the end of a run.
    """
    rId, image = run.part.get_or_add_image(picture_file)
    cx, cy = image.scaled_dimensions(width, height)
    shape_id, filename = run.part.next_id, image.filename
    inline = CT_Inline.new_pic_inline(shape_id, rId, filename, cx, cy)
    run._r.add_drawing(inline) 

run = doc.add_paragraph().add_run()
picture = 'foobar.png'
add_picture_to_run(run, picture)

if want to add multi-picture in same row, use the same run instance.

Thanks,
Le

Super, thanks @zhongle, nice job! :)

I cleaned up a couple aspects of the code. In particular there's no need for a self parameter since this is a free-standing function rather than a method on the Run object.

[zhongle]

No problem, agreed! :)

where is CT_Inline??

[scanny]

from docx.oxml.shape import CT_Inline

[jackadam1981]

`
def add_picture_to_run(run, picture_file, width=None, height=None):
"""
Add a picture at the end of a run.
"""
rId, image = run.part.get_or_add_image(picture_file)
cx, cy = image.scaled_dimensions(width, height)
shape_id, filename = run.part.next_id, image.filename
inline = CT_Inline.new_pic_inline(shape_id, rId, filename, cx, cy)
run._r.add_drawing(inline)

run = doc.add_paragraph().add_run()
picture = 'foobar.png'
add_picture_to_run(run, picture)
`

It add picture after the line, how to add picture before the line?
need cheng rId and shape_id?
