Adding a Background Image
Spread.Sheets Documentation > Developer's Guide > Customizing the Appearance > Adding a Background Image

You can add a background image to a cell, column, row, or Spread.

You can load local base 64 bitmap images or images from an image Uri.

You can specify the background image layout for the cell, column, row, or Spread. You can use the ImageLayout enumeration to specify whether the image is stretched to fill the area, centered, zoomed with the original aspect ratio, or keeps the original size.

Using Code

This example loads images in a cell, column, and row.
