var oGs1 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 213, 191), 0);
var oGs2 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 111, 61), 100000);

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("Number of paragraph elements at this point: ");
oRun.AddTabStop();
oRun.AddText("" + oParagraph.GetElementsCount());
oRun.AddLineBreak();
oParagraph.AddElement(oRun);
oRun.AddText("Number of paragraph elements after we added a text run: ");
oRun.AddTabStop();
oRun.AddText("" + oParagraph.GetElementsCount());
oSlide.AddObject(oShape);
