Insert a Picture Based on Cell Reference with JavaScript via C++

Inserting a Picture Based on Cell Reference

Aspose.Cells for JavaScript via C++ supports displaying the contents of a worksheet cell in an image shape. You can link the picture to the cell that contains the data that you want to display. Since the cell or cell range is linked to the graphic object, changes that you make to the data in that cell or cell range automatically appear in the graphic object. Add a picture to the worksheet by calling the ShapeCollection.addPicture(number, number, number, number, Uint8Array) method of the ShapeCollection collection (encapsulated in the Worksheet object). Specify the cell range by using the Picture.formula attribute of the Picture object.
