Specifies the minimum distance which will be maintained between the edges of the current drawing object and any subsequent text.

Syntax

expression.SetDistances(nLeft, nTop, nRight, nBottom);

expression - A variable that represents a ApiDrawing class.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Default	Description
nLeft	Required	EMU		The distance from the left side of the current object and the subsequent text run measured in English measure units.
nTop	Required	EMU		The distance from the top side of the current object and the preceding text run measured in English measure units.
nRight	Required	EMU		The distance from the right side of the current object and the subsequent text run measured in English measure units.

Example

This example specifies the minimum distance which will be maintained between the edges of the drawing object and any subsequent text.

Code

let doc = Api.GetDocument();
let paragraph = doc.GetElement(0);
paragraph.AddText("This is a paragraph with a shape. ");
paragraph.AddText("The text wraps the rectangular box that bounds the object. ");
paragraph.AddText("The distance between the shape and the text is 1 inch (914400 English measure units).");
let gs1 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 213, 191), 0);
let gs2 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.CreateRGBColor(255, 111, 61), 100000);
let fill = Api.CreateRadialGradientFill([gs1, gs2]);
let stroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
let drawing = Api.CreateShape("rect", 1908000, 1404000, fill, stroke);
drawing.SetDistances(914400, 0, 914400, 0);
drawing.SetWrappingStyle("square");
paragraph.AddDrawing(drawing);
paragraph = Api.CreateParagraph();
paragraph.AddText("This is another paragraph.");
doc.Push(paragraph);
