Using images in reports based on blank space when grouping

I'm creating a report that has a few levels of grouping. Since I don't ever want a group heading to appear at the bottom of the page with no room for detail beneath it, I set the "Group Keep Together with First Detail" property to true. As a result, some columns have blank space at the bottom of them.

I know I can use the retreat event of the report to find out when it retreats and does not print the group header or detail. However, when this happens, I'd like to be able to insert one of several images, based on how much space is available. Does anyone know how to determine the amount of space left in the column when the retreat event occurs?

Thanks!
 
OK, I now know exactly how much space is available in the column! How do I programatically insert a specific image into that spot? Is it possible to do that?
