Set text into a rectangle

Aspose.Diagram Product Family

I’m in the process of creating a table. It consists of rectangles in which the text will appear.
Drawing the rectangles worked fine. But when I set the text for a rectangle, it appears above the rectangle. I’d like the text to appear inside the rectangle, though – just like you see in Visio.

As an example, I’ve limited my table to just one cell. Can you tell me what I need to do to make the text appear inside the rectangle rather than on top of it?

Diagram diagram = new Diagram();

Aspose.Diagram.Page page = diagram.Pages[0];

// DIN-A4 
page.PageSheet.PageProps.PageWidth.Value = 8.27;   // Inch
page.PageSheet.PageProps.PageHeight.Value = 11.69; // Inch

double cellWidth = 3.5;
double cellHeight = 0.25;

// Startposition top left
double startX = 0.5;
double startY = 11.2;

double x1 = 0.5 + cellWidth;
double y1 = 11.2 - cellHeight;

double x2 = x1 + cellWidth;
double y2 = y1 - cellHeight;

long shapeId = page.DrawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2);

Aspose.Diagram.Shape shape = page.Shapes.GetShape(shapeId);


shape.Text.Value.Add(new Txt("Row 1, Column 1"));

// Line Grid
shape.Line.LineWeight.Value = 0.01;
shape.Line.LineColor.Value = "RGB(0,0,0)";

shape.Fill.FillForegnd.Value = "RGB(255,255,255)";

if (shape.Chars.Count == 0)
{
	shape.Chars.Add(new Aspose.Diagram.Char());
}
shape.Chars[0].Size.Ufe.F = "10 pt";

diagram.Save("C:\\TableCell.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.Vsdx);

Thanks for the sample codes.
Please make the height value of the rectangle box positive

       double x1 = 0.5 + cellWidth;
       double y1 = 11.2 - cellHeight;

       double x2 = x1 + cellWidth;
       double y2 = y1 - cellHeight;  //For example, change this line of code to this: double y2 = y1 + cellHeight;

or adjust the Shape’s TextXForm:

        shape.TextXForm.TxtPinX.Value = shape.XForm.Width.Value * 0.5;
        shape.TextXForm.TxtPinY.Value = shape.XForm.Height.Value * 0.5;
        shape.TextXForm.TxtWidth.Value = shape.XForm.Width.Value;
        shape.TextXForm.TxtHeight.Value = shape.XForm.Height.Value;
        shape.TextXForm.TxtLocPinX.Value = shape.TextXForm.TxtWidth.Value * 0.5;
        shape.TextXForm.TxtLocPinY.Value = -shape.TextXForm.TxtHeight.Value * 0.5;

Thanks.
