Convert a Whole Excel Worksheet to Image
The following steps will demonstrate how to convert a whole Excel worksheet to an image.
- Create a Workbook instance.
- Load a sample Excel document using Workbook.loadFromFile() method.
- Get a specific worksheet of the document using Workbook.getWorksheets().get() method.
- Convert the worksheet to an image using Worksheet.saveToImage() method.
- Java
import com.spire.xls.*;
public class ExcelToImage {
public static void main(String[] args){
//Create a workbook instance
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
//Load a sample Excel document
workbook.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\sample.xlsx");
//Get the first worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
//Save the sheet to an image
sheet.saveToImage("output/SheetToImage.png");
}
}
Convert a Specific Cell Range to Image
Spire.XLS for Java supports converting a specific cell range to an image by using the Worksheet.toImage (int firstRow,int firstColumn,int lastRow,int lastColumn) method. Detailed steps are listed below.
- Create a Workbook instance.
- Load a sample Excel document using Workbook.loadFromFile() method.
- Get a specific worksheet of the document using Workbook.getWorksheets().get() method.
- Create a BufferedImage instance.
- Convert a specific cell range to the ButteredImage object using Worksheet.toImage () method.
- Save the BufferedImage object to a .png image.
- Java
import com.spire.xls.Workbook;
import com.spire.xls.Worksheet;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;
public class SpecificCellsToImage {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//Create a workbook instance
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
//Load a sample Excel document
workbook.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\sample.xlsx");
//Get the first worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
//Convert a specific cell range to the BufferedImage object
BufferedImage bufferedImage = sheet.toImage(1, 1, 7, 4);
//Save as a .png image
ImageIO.write(bufferedImage,"PNG",new File("output/specificCellsToImage.png"));
}
}
