How to get an image and its position from excel file using Apache POI?

[Gianni Amendola]

Is it possible to extract an image's information from an xls spreadsheet using Apache POI?

In one of my projects, I need to read some images from a .xls file. I can read all images together, but how can I get images position (like columns and rows number or coordinates)? Otherwise I can get images position but I can't know information, like picture name or extension or others, about a specific image at the positions found. How I can get images and positions too?

Here: read all images...
and here: get images positions...

Check out the ClientAnchor interface for information about where/how the position is saved.
