Hi Support,


I am trying to set the margin left and right of a paragraph, but the code that I am trying is not taking effect. The default margin for a shape remains 0.25.

This is the piece of code I am running:

IAutoShape box = group.getShapes().addAutoShape(
ShapeType.Rectangle,
rctShape.getA().getX().floatValue(),
rctShape.getA().getY().floatValue(),
rctShape.getB().getX().floatValue() - rctShape.getA().getX().floatValue(),
rctShape.getB().getY().floatValue() - rctShape.getA().getY().floatValue());
box.getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
box.getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(Color.WHITE);
box.getLineFormat().getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(Color.black);
box.getLineFormat().getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
box.getLineFormat().setWidth(1);

box.addTextFrame(" ");
ITextFrame txtFrame = box.getTextFrame();
IParagraph iParagraph = txtFrame.getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
IPortion portion = iParagraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);
portion.getPortionFormat().getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
portion.getPortionFormat().getFillFormat().getSolidFillColor().setColor(Color.black);
portion.getPortionFormat().setFontHeight(10);
portion.getPortionFormat().setFontBold(NullableBool.True);
iParagraph.getParagraphFormat().setMarginLeft(0.01f); // also tried another values…
iParagraph.getParagraphFormat().setMarginRight(0.01f);
portion.setText(“My Text”);

Thank you.

Excellent!


I was setting the margin of the paragraph instead of setting it from the text frame
Here is the answer:
  ITextFrame txtFrame = box.getTextFrame();

IParagraph iParagraph = txtFrame.getParagraphs().get_Item(0);

IPortion portion = iParagraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);

 txtFrame.getTextFrameFormat().setMarginBottom(13f);

txtFrame.getTextFrameFormat().setMarginTop(13f);

txtFrame.getTextFrameFormat().setMarginRight(0.0f);

txtFrame.getTextFrameFormat().setMarginLeft(0.0f);
Now I got the proper configuration!
Thank you very much Adnan.
