Insert image into excel cell in MATLAB

Question

I followed this post and I need to do the same, only I want to put the image (m by n by 3 matrices) in the cell in excel.

this line does not work, because my image imis a matrix, not a descriptor:

print(im, '-dbitmap');

Do I need to somehow create an image descriptor? Is there another way?

In the end, I want to resize the cell so that it can fit around the image (without resizing the image).

Answer 1

print figure window , :

image(im);                        % Plot image
set(gca, 'Visible', 'off', ...    % Turn off axes visibility
         'Position', [0 0 1 1]);  %   and make axes fill figure window
hFigure = gcf;                    % Get handle to figure
pos = get(hFigure, 'Position');   % Get current figure position
set(hFigure, 'Position', [pos(1:2) size(im, 2) size(im, 1)]);  % Set position so image
                                                               %   is scaled properly

COM- Excel :

excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');  % Create server object
excelWorkbook = excel.Workbooks.Add(1);   % Add a workbook
excelSheet = excel.ActiveSheet;           % Get the active sheet

dpi = get(groot, 'ScreenPixelsPerInch');  % Get screen dpi
print(hFigure, sprintf('-r%d', dpi), ...  % Print the figure at the screen resolution
      '-clipboard', '-dbitmap');          %   to the clipboard as a bitmap
excelSheet.Range('B2').PasteSpecial();    % Paste from clipboard (top left corner
                                          %   of image will be in the cell 'B2')

excelSheet.Range('B2').RowHeight = ...    % Set cell height to image height
  excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Height;
widthScale = excelSheet.Range('B2').ColumnWidth./...  % Column width (in characters)
             excelSheet.Range('B2').Width;            % Column width (in points)
excelSheet.Range('B2').ColumnWidth = ...  % Set cell width to scaled image width
  excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Width.*widthScale;

excelWorkbook.SaveAs('figtest.xlsx');  % Save workbook to a file
excelWorkbook.Close();                 % Close workbook
excel.Quit();                          % Quit server
excel.delete();                        % Delete server object

peppers.png B2:

imshow(im);

dpi = get(groot, 'ScreenPixelsPerInch');  % Get screen dpi
print(gcf, sprintf('-r%d', dpi), ...      % Print the figure at the screen resolution
      '-clipboard', '-dbitmap');          %   to the clipboard as a bitmap

excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');  % Create server object
excelWorkbook = excel.Workbooks.Add(1);   % Add a workbook
excelSheet = excel.ActiveSheet;           % Get the active sheet

                                          %   of image will be in the cell 'B2')   
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My contribution %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).LockAspectRatio='msoFalse';            %Unlocking aspect ratio
excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Width=excelSheet.Range('B2').Width;    %Adjusting width
excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Height=excelSheet.Range('B2').Height;  %Adjusting height
%Uncomment the next line if you want the cell to keep the image fit in its particular
