New Post: Insert image in excel file and file size growing..

Hi all,

first of all, the script is working and it is doing what i want. But i have a "problem" with file size.

In details:

i'm inserting some images (logos..) in excel files with this code

          $objDrawing = new PHPExcel_Worksheet_Drawing();
          $objDrawing->setWorksheet($objWorksheet);
          $objDrawing->setName("name");
          $objDrawing->setDescription("Description");
          $objDrawing->setPath('./path_to/image.png');
          $objDrawing->setCoordinates('B1');
          $objDrawing->setOffsetX(1);
          $objDrawing->setOffsetY(5);

As i said before, the file is correct and images are in the right place.

The problem is that the file size is strange.

I mean:

the file with no logo is 54k

The file with logos as created by phpexcel is 1376k (lol)

If i open this file with excel and simply SAVE it, it becomes 338k (5 sheets and 4 images in every sheet, it can be correct..)

So, i'm wondering if i'm missing something in my code, because it's obvious that PHPexcel is doing something strange..

Thanks a lot

bye
