photoOrImgFileNameTk photo identifier or file name of the image.
argsOptions described below.
-embed <bool>Indicates whether to save the image with the document. Default: true.
-fit <bool>Fit image to page. Default: false.
-height <size>Set the height of the image.
-left <pos>Set the X position of the top-left image position.

-top <pos>Set the Y position of the top-left image position.
-width <size>Set the width of the image.
Description

The following image formats are supported by the Img extension, but not by PowerPoint:
DTED PCX PPM RAW SGI SUN TGA XBM XPM.
Images in these formats may be loaded into PowerPoint by using the Img extension to load the image into a Tk photo and supplying the photo identifier in parameter $photoOrImgFileFile.

The position and size values may be specified in a format acceptable by procedure ::Cawt::ValueToPoints, i.e. centimeters, inches or points.
