import jxl.write.WritableWorkbook;
import jxl.write.WriteException;

public class AddImageCellTest {

  /**
   @param args
   @throws IOException 
   @throws IOException 
   @throws WriteException 
   @throws BiffException 
   */
  public static void main(String[] argsthrows IOException, WriteException {
    //Creates a writable workbook with the given file name
    WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(new File("C:/JXL/AddImage.xls"));
    
    WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("My Sheet"0);
    
    WritableImage image = new WritableImage(
        24,   //column, row
        66,   //width, height in terms of number of cells
        new File("C:/JXL/google.png"))//Supports only 'png' images
    
    sheet.addImage(image);
    
    //Writes out the data held in this workbook in Excel format
    workbook.write()
    
    //Close and free allocated memory 
    workbook.close()
  }
