I am using a Paragraph inside a TextFrame to get the text orientation to be displayed upwards this is working to nearly how i would like it to, the final issue i have got is the text seems to be left aligned, i have tried setting the Paragraph alignment to centre this didn't have no affect and can't see an option to do this with a TextFrame. The text outputted will not be the same everytime.
This is what i currently have
This is what i want to acheive
The following is the code i am using to acheive this using MigraDoc
for (int i = 0; i < section2Items.Length; i++)
{
TextFrame colXTextFrame = bothSection2ItemHeadersRow.Cells[i + 1].AddTextFrame();
colXTextFrame.Orientation = TextOrientation.Upward;
colXTextFrame.Height = new Unit(140);
Paragraph colXParagraph = new Paragraph();
colXParagraph.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
colXParagraph.AddText(section2Items[i].Section2ItemTitle);
colXTextFrame.Add(colXParagraph);
bothSection2ItemHeadersRow.Cells[i + 1].Borders.Bottom = new Border() { Color = new MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Color(255, 255, 255), Width = new MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Unit(0), Style = MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.BorderStyle.None };
}
Here is a code example that should work.
You can use the MarginLeft
property of the TextFrame
to shift it in the middle of the column.
// Create the table
Table Table = section.AddTable();
Table.Borders.Width = 0.5;
// create 3 columns
Column column1 = Table.AddColumn("4cm");
Column column2 = Table.AddColumn("4cm");
Column column3 = Tabl.AddColumn("4cm");
// make the row
Row row = Table.AddRow();
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
TextFrame t = row.Cells[i].AddTextFrame();
t.Orientation = TextOrientation.Upward;
t.Height = new Unit(140);
// set the left margin to half of the column width
t.MarginLeft = this.Tabelle.Columns[i].Width/2;
Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
p.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
p.AddText("Test_" + i.ToString());
t.Add(p);
}
this produces the following output:
