TextBlock class

Contains elements that specify the alignment, margins, and default tab stop positions of text in a shape’s text block.

The TextBlock type exposes the following members:

Property	Description

right_margin	Specifies the distance between the right border of the text block and the text it contains. This value is independent of the scale of the drawing. If the drawing is scaled, the right margin remains the same.
top_margin	Specifies the distance between the top border of the text block and the first line of text it contains.
bottom_margin	Determines the distance between the bottom border of the text block and the last line of text it contains. The default is 4 pt. This value is independent of the scale of the drawing. If the drawing is scaled, the bottom margin remains the same.
vertical_align	Specifies the vertical alignment of text within the text block.
text_bkgnd	Specifies the text background color for a shape.
default_tab_stop	Specifies the interval of the default tab stops in a text block.
