is_link property

Returns True if the image is linked to the shape (when ImageData.source_full_name is specified).

@property
def is_link(self) -> bool:
    ...

Examples

Shows how to edit a shape’s image data.

img_source_doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Images.docx')

# Import a shape from the source document and append it to the first paragraph.
imported_shape = dst_doc.import_node(src_node=source_shape, is_import_children=True).as_shape()
dst_doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.append_child(imported_shape)
# The imported shape contains an image. We can access the image's properties and raw data via the ImageData object.
image_data = imported_shape.image_data
image_data.title = 'Imported Image'
self.assertTrue(image_data.has_image)
# If an image has no borders, its ImageData object will define the border color as empty.
self.assertEqual(4, image_data.borders.count)

# This image does not link to another shape or image file in the local file system.
self.assertFalse(image_data.is_link)

# The "Brightness" and "Contrast" properties define image brightness and contrast
# on a 0-1 scale, with the default value at 0.5.

# The above brightness and contrast values have created an image with a lot of white.
