<html>Are you looking to insert the caption, or the reference to the caption? I think you want to insert a reference to a dependent field for a text field master. Does this sound correct? The text field master, which is of type: com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.SetExpression.Figure But you want to reference a Dependent field. If my guess is correct, this is how I insert a reference to the first Figure using Basic. Note that there is almost no error checking, so, this could go very wrong.

Yes I want to add an image with a caption programmatically and I want a caption like this "Illustration 1 : My caption" To my mind, it would be better/cleaner if I was able to generate the same thing than I do the UI. Thanks to you, I succeed to build the expected structure for the image and to set a text below it, but I still have some problems, mainly with the GetReference. The GetReference generates : <text:reference-ref text:reference-format="text" text:ref-name="refIllustration0">Erreur : source de la référence non trouvée</text:reference-ref> (sorry my Libo is in French, it is written "Sorry : source of the reference not found"). And I would like to get a text:sequence instead of a text:reference, to get this result: <text:sequence text:ref-name="refIllustration0" text:name="Illustration" text:formula="ooow:Illustration+1" style:num-format="1">1</text:sequence> Please, do you know how I can build a text:sequence ? Please found in attachment the java code I wrote [1], the expect xml structure [2] and the current xml structure [3]. I know I have some difference between [2] and [3] with the width/height properties and inside the draw frame, but it is not the subject of this thread. [1] insertImage.java [2] expectedResult.xml [3] currentResult.xml In addition, I have more generic question, do you know if it exists a documentation, indicating mapping, between the xml elements and how to get/create them from java ? For example, in xml svg:width is called Height in the java API, and my Textframe becomes <draw:text-box...< Best regards, -- Vincent Lorenzo -----Message d'origine----- De : Kaganski Mike [mailto:mikekaganski@hotmail.com] Envoyé : mercredi 13 février 2019 11:42 À : Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@collabora.com>; LORENZO Vincent <vincent.lorenzo@cea.fr> Cc : libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org Objet : Re: need help to insert an image with a caption with the Libo java API On 13.02.2019 12:45, Miklos Vajna via LibreOffice wrote: > Hi, > > On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 09:27:15AM +0000, LORENZO Vincent <vincent.lorenzo@cea.fr> wrote: >> I would like to add a caption, to an inserted image in a text >> document, but I don't find how to do that...

And actually, if an image is not intended to be floating, but (as seen in majority of cases) is a part of normal text flow, then the frame could be not needed at all - simply add an image anchored as character, then add a paragraph with required style and numbering range field, then continue with other paragraphs. This makes the document structure clearer. Just an advise based on own experience. -- Best regards, Mike Kaganski _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice</blockquote> </html>
