var oPresentation = Api.GetPresentation();
var oSlide = oPresentation.GetSlideByIndex(0);
oSlide.RemoveAllObjects();
var oGs1 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 213, 191), 0);
var oGs2 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 111, 61), 100000);
var oFill = Api.CreateRadialGradientFill([oGs1, oGs2]);
var oStroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
var oShape = Api.CreateShape("flowChartMagneticTape", 300 * 36000, 130 * 36000, oFill, oStroke);
oShape.SetPosition(608400, 1267200);
var oDocContent = oShape.GetDocContent();
var oParagraph = oDocContent.GetElement(0);
oParagraph.RemoveAllElements();
var oRun = Api.CreateRun();
oRun.AddText("This is the text for the first text run. Do not forget a space at its end to separate from the second one. ");
oParagraph.AddElement(oRun);
oRun = Api.CreateRun();
oRun.AddText("This is the text for the second run. We will set it bold afterwards. It also needs space at its end. ");
oParagraph.AddElement(oRun);
oRun = Api.CreateRun();
oRun.AddText("This is the text for the third run. It ends the paragraph.");
oParagraph.AddElement(oRun);
oRun = oParagraph.GetElement(2);
oRun.SetBold(true);
oSlide.AddObject(oShape);
