In coolbutuseless/image2xlsx: Convert Images to XLSX Spreadsheets

image2xlsx

image2xlsx provides a single function to turn an image into an excel (xlsx) spreadsheet.

It stands on the shoulders of the following giants:

• openxlsx
• magick + imagemagick
• dplyr
• tidyr
• raster

Future/ToDo

Patches welcomed!

• Deal with transparency
  • Get magick to flatten transparency to a user-specified background colour?
• ~~Place the image at a desired location~~
• Animation using openxlsx::conditionalFormatting()
  • gifanim2xlsx() ???
