class Picture extends Shape;
```


### Example
```javascript
const { Workbook, SaveFormat } = AsposeCells;

//Instantiating a Workbook object
var workbook = new Workbook();
//Adding a new worksheet to the Workbook object
var sheetIndex = workbook.worksheets.add();
//Obtaining the reference of the newly added worksheet by passing its sheet index
