### Examples

```csharp
using System;
using System.IO;
using Aspose.Cells;
using Aspose.Cells.Drawing;

namespace AsposeCellsExamples
{
    public class ShapeMethodToImageWithStreamImageTypeDemo
    {
        public static void Run()
        {
            // Create a new workbook
            Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
            Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

            // Add a sample shape with correct parameters
            Shape shape = worksheet.Shapes.AddRectangle(1, 0, 0, 100, 200, 0);

            // Convert shape to image stream
            using (MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                shape.ToImage(imageStream, ImageType.Png);
                Console.WriteLine("Shape converted to image stream successfully");
            }
        }
    }
}
