Image formatting

I have one big issue with Aspose Words product and that is image insertion. There is no way to maintain image ratio without adjusting the Textbox size.
-fitSizeLim is fine if the image is smaller but then can cause distortion issues, when image is enlarged.

There is no way, that I have found, to tell the engine that the Textbox is the maximum space, and to fit the image within these bounds while maintaining ratio. Currently stretching the image to take up the entire space is defaulted OR adjust the Text box.

Am I missing a flag Or is this a feature I should request?

I have attached a simple spring boot app with a readme.md file explaining my issues with each image modifier as well as pdf outputs with each modifier to demonstrate my issue.

@Rohara239,

I think, you can meet your requirements by using various Shape class properties such as Shape.Width, Shape.Height and Shape.AspectRatioLocked properties. Hope, this helps.

I am more knowledgeable with the Linq reporting engine but this does look like the Shape class will solve my issue. I have one follow up question. Our Business partners manage the Linq templates. How would I get the image “Key” from the image textbox to pull the correct image in the backend?
