Adding a picture to a slideshow
Hello, all.
I'm new to POI and am trying to create a tool that will automatically
generate a simple PowerPoint slideshow from data in our application. The
data contains images, so I'd like to include those in the slides. However,
I've not been able to figure out the way to add a picture to a slideshow.
I saw this page: http://poi.apache.org/slideshow/how-to-shapes.html#Pictures
which suggests use of the HSLFSlideShow.addPicture() method. However, that
page is marked as being from 2007, and the the version of the JAR that I
downloaded has that method taking different arguments: the docs at that link
refer to addPicture(File, Picture.PictureType), but the jar has
addPicture(PictureData). Since PictureData has only a no-arg constructor,
I'm not sure how to get the actual image file into the system.
Short version: I know to add PictureData via HSLFSlideShow.addPicture(). But
how do I create PictureData for a particular image file?

For what it's worth, I eventually gave up on this and used the SlideShow
object instead.
