Anchoring Type	XlAnchorType Value	Description	How to Set
Absolute Anchoring	XlAnchorType.Absolute	Positions a picture within a worksheet based on absolute coordinates that represent offsets from the left and top sides of the worksheet.

Use the IXlPicture.SetAbsoluteAnchor method to specify the absolute position of a picture within a worksheet and set the picture’s width and height.
One Cell Anchoring	XlAnchorType.OneCell	Anchors the top-left corner of a picture to a cell in a worksheet. The picture moves with the anchor cell, but its size remains the same.	Use the IXlPicture.SetOneCellAnchor method to specify the start position for a picture and set the picture’s width and height.
Two Cell Anchoring	XlAnchorType.TwoCell	Anchors a picture to two cells in a worksheet. The first cell defines the position of the top-left corner of the picture, while the second one specifies where picture’s bottom-right corner is located. The picture’s positioning and resizing behavior depends upon the value of the IXlPicture.AnchorBehavior property.	Use the IXlPicture.SetTwoCellAnchor method to specify the start and end positions for a picture and define its anchoring behavior.
