Example
This example adds a shape to the sheet with the parameters specified.
var oWorksheet = Api.GetActiveSheet();
var oGs1 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 213, 191), 0);
var oGs2 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 111, 61), 100000);
var oFill = Api.CreateLinearGradientFill([oGs1, oGs2], 5400000);
var oStroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
oWorksheet.AddShape("flowChartOnlineStorage", 60 * 36000, 35 * 36000, oFill, oStroke, 0, 2 * 36000, 0, 3 * 36000);
