Is there an API to insert images into the requirement description?

There is currently no API available that directly performs the same image insertion function as the insert image button in the Properties pane of the Requirements Editor.

However, there is an API that allows you to set rich text (HTML) in the Description and Rationale fields of a requirement. By embedding an image as a Base64-encoded Data URI within an <img> tag, you can achieve the same visual result.

rs = slreq.new('image_in_description.slreqx');

req = add(rs, Summary="sample");

pngFile = fullfile(pwd, 'Image1.png');

fid = fopen(pngFile, 'rb');
bytes = fread(fid, '*uint8');
fclose(fid);

b64 = matlab.net.base64encode(bytes);

datauri = "data:image/png;base64," + b64;
html = [ ...
  "<p>Insert Image:</p>", ...
  "<figure>", ...
  "<img src=""" + datauri + """ alt=""embedded image"" width=""480"">", ...
  "</figure>" ...
];
req.Description = strjoin(html, newline);

save(rs);
