Specialized image type

[Peter Adelman <pe...@deltasoftinc.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to open a rxn file type (which is a chemical reaction image) file
type with POI and having no success.  Because this is such a peculiar
image/file type I would not expect it to be recognized by POI.  However
could someone suggest a way to do this?  I don't have the internal file
structure of an rxn file so I'm afraid I'm at a disadvantage.  What I'm
really looking to do is open the image file as an OLE object  and display it
in a ppt file. Perhaps this is impossible..Thanks for your help if you
respond to this thread!

Hi Peter,


Rxn files are text rather than images.  You'll need a separate component to render the reaction and generate an image.
