        sb.append('\n');

        sb.append('\n');

        if (worksheet.getPictures().size() > 1) {
            ExcelPicture picture = worksheet.getPictures().get(1);
            sb.append(String.format("Image width x height is: %1$.2f centimeters x %2$.2f centimeters.",
                    picture.getPosition().getWidth(LengthUnit.CENTIMETER),
