For example, HTML browsers usually supports PictureType.GIF, PictureType.JPEG, PictureType.PNG, PictureType.TIFF, but rarely PictureType.EMF or PictureType.WMF. FO (Apache FOP) supports at least PNG and SVG types.

suggestedName - suggested picture name (based on picture offset in file), supposed to be unique

widthInches - display width in inches (scaled). May be useful for rendering vector images (such as EMF or WMF)

heightInches - display height in inches (scaled). May be useful for rendering vector images (such as EMF or WMF)

Returns:

path to file that can be used as reference in HTML (img's src) of XLS FO (fo:external-graphic's src) or null if image were not saved and should not be referenced from result HTML / FO.
