Fixed position image anchored to a Paragraph
. Unlike an InlineImage
, a PositionedImage
is
not an Element
. It does not have a
parent or sibling Element
. Instead,
it is anchored to a Paragraph
or ListItem
, and is placed via offsets from
that anchor. A PositionedImage
has an ID that can be used to reference it.
var body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getActiveTab().asDocumentTab().getBody(); // Append a new paragraph. var paragraph = body.appendParagraph("New paragraph to anchor the image to."); // Get an image in Drive from its ID. var image = DriveApp.getFileById('ENTER_IMAGE_FILE_ID_HERE').getBlob(); // Add the PositionedImage with offsets (in points). var posImage = paragraph.addPositionedImage(image) .setTopOffset(60) .setLeftOffset(40);

Detailed documentation
getAs(contentType)
Return the data inside this object as a blob converted to the specified content type. This method adds the appropriate extension to the filename—for example, "myfile.pdf". However, it assumes that the part of the filename that follows the last period (if any) is an existing extension that should be replaced. Consequently, "ShoppingList.12.25.2014" becomes "ShoppingList.12.25.pdf".
To view the daily quotas for conversions, see Quotas for Google Services. Newly created Google Workspace domains might be temporarily subject to stricter quotas.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
contentType | String | The MIME type to convert to. For most blobs, 'application/pdf' is
the only valid option. For images in BMP, GIF, JPEG, or PNG format, any of 'image/bmp' , 'image/gif' , 'image/jpeg' , or 'image/png' are also
valid. For a Google Docs document, 'text/markdown' is also valid. |
