fpdf.image(name, x = None, y = None, w = 0, h = 0, type = '', link = '')Puts an image. The size it will take on the page can be specified in different ways:
- explicit width and height (expressed in user units)
- one explicit dimension, the other being calculated automatically in order to keep the original proportions
- no explicit dimension, in which case the image is put at 72 dpi.
Supported formats are JPEG, PNG and GIF.
For JPEGs, all flavors are allowed:
- gray scales
- true colors (24 bits)
- CMYK (32 bits)
For PNGs, these are allowed:
- gray scales of at most 8 bits (256 levels)
- indexed colors
- true colors (24 bits)
- alpha channel (version 1.7 and up)
but this is not supported:
- interlacing
For GIFs: in case of an animated GIF, only the first frame is used.
If a transparent color is defined, it is taken into account.
The format can be specified explicitly or inferred from the file extension.
It is possible to put a link on the image.
Remark: if an image is used several times, only one copy is embedded in the file.
name:
Path or URL of the image.
x:
Abscissa of the upper-left corner. If not specified or equal to None, the current abscissa is used (version 1.7.1 and up).
y:
Ordinate of the upper-left corner. If not specified or equal to None, the current ordinate is used; moreover, a page break is triggered first if necessary (in case automatic page breaking is enabled) and, after the call, the current ordinate is moved to the bottom of the image (version 1.7.1 and up).
w:
Width of the image in the page. If not specified or equal to zero, it is automatically calculated.
h:
Height of the image in the page. If not specified or equal to zero, it is automatically calculated.
type:
Image format. Possible values are (case insensitive): JPG, JPEG, PNG and GIF. If not specified, the type is inferred from the file extension.
link:
URL or identifier returned by add_link.
