## Examples



Shows how to insert a linked image into a document. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

System::String imageFileName = get_ImageDir() + u"Windows MetaFile.wmf";

// Below are two ways of applying an image to a shape so that it can display it.
// 1 -  Set the shape to contain the image.
auto shape = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Drawing::Shape>(builder->get_Document(), ShapeType::Image);
shape->set_WrapType(WrapType::Inline);
shape->get_ImageData()->SetImage(imageFileName);

builder->InsertNode(shape);

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Image.CreateLinkedImage.Embedded.docx");

// Every image that we store in shape will increase the size of our document.
ASSERT_TRUE(static_cast<int64_t>(70000) < System::MakeObject<System::IO::FileInfo>(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Image.CreateLinkedImage.Embedded.docx")->get_Length());

doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_FirstParagraph()->RemoveAllChildren();

// 2 -  Set the shape to link to an image file in the local file system.
shape = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Drawing::Shape>(builder->get_Document(), ShapeType::Image);
shape->set_WrapType(WrapType::Inline);
shape->get_ImageData()->set_SourceFullName(imageFileName);

builder->InsertNode(shape);
doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Image.CreateLinkedImage.Linked.docx");

// Linking to images will save space and result in a smaller document.
// However, the document can only display the image correctly while
// the image file is present at the location that the shape's "SourceFullName" property points to.
ASSERT_TRUE(static_cast<int64_t>(10000) > System::MakeObject<System::IO::FileInfo>(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Image.CreateLinkedImage.Linked.docx")->get_Length());
```
