Shape node text margin

How can i specify margin in shape node text. I need to show multiple lines in a shape node. When I fire ResizeToFitText() method, shape node text does not look good.

Please let me know what can be done to add margin to the text inside the shape node.

Text margins are not supported at this time, but you might define text-area for your shape that is slightly smaller than the shape's outline.

Add this code to the Window_Loaded handler and draw some nodes to see how it works:

Code
Select All
new Shape(
	Shapes.Rectangle.Outline, // reuse the outline definition of Rectangle
	null, // no decorations
	new ElementTemplate[]
	{
		new LineTemplate(5, 5, 95, 95),
		new LineTemplate(95, 5, 95, 95),
		new LineTemplate(95, 95, 5, 95),
		new LineTemplate(5, 95, 5, 5)
	},
	FillRule.EvenOdd, "RectWithTextMargins");

diagram.DefaultShape = Shape.FromId("RectWithTextMargins");
diagram.ShapeText = "test test test test test test test test test ";
diagram.ShapeText += diagram.ShapeText + diagram.ShapeText;


I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Thanks for you help. Their is one small change in your code.

new Shape(
Shapes.Rectangle.Outline, // reuse the outline definition of Rectangle
null, // no decorations
new ElementTemplate[]
{
new LineTemplate(5, 5, 95, 5),
new LineTemplate(95, 5, 95, 95),
new LineTemplate(95, 95, 5, 95),
new LineTemplate(5, 95, 5, 5)
},
FillRule.EvenOdd, "RectWithTextMargins");

diagram.DefaultShape = Shape.FromId("RectWithTextMargins");
diagram.ShapeText = "test test test test test test test test test ";
diagram.ShapeText += diagram.ShapeText + diagram.ShapeText;


Thanks again
