How I can add a drawing canvas to a document

Hi - I’m interested in using Aspose.Words for generating customized reports, so am trying to get a better understanding of some features.

One specific question I have right now is how I can add a drawing canvas to a document?

I have searched the help files etc. but can’t see any explicit references to drawing canvas objects.

I need to create diagrams where I add a large number of drawing shapes to a canvas

the reason I prefer to use a canvas is because that enables me to control the x/y coordinates of the shapes of my diagram more easily. I can use the canvas as the reference point for the parameters.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, Aspose.Words does not support the requested feature at the moment. However, I have logged this feature request as WORDSNET-10552 in our issue tracking system. You will be notified via this forum thread once this feature is available. We apologize for your inconvenience.

I suggest you please use the GroupShape to achieve your requirements. Please check the following code example for your kind reference.

Document doc = new Document();
GroupShape gs = new GroupShape(doc);
Shape rectangle = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);
rectangle.Height = 100;
rectangle.Width = 100;
rectangle.WrapType = WrapType.Square;
rectangle.Left = 0;
rectangle.Top = 0;
Shape triangle = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Triangle);
triangle.Height = 100;
triangle.Width = 100;
triangle.WrapType = WrapType.Square;
triangle.Left = 100;
triangle.Top = 0;
gs.AppendChild(rectangle);
gs.AppendChild(triangle);
gs.Width = 200;
gs.Height = 200;
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.InsertNode(gs);
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");
