Does ShapeCrawler support shrink text on overflow in paragraphs?

[jamesmcroft]

As the title suggest, wondering if ShapeCrawler supports the ability to insert text into a text box that has auto shrink enabled? Or potentially enabling auto shrink on the text box where appropriate.

No, this functionality has not been implemented yet.

Will create issue for this.

Support for "Shrink text on overflow" on TextBox level is added in v0.26.0.

Hi there, how to use this feature?
I'm setting up my Shape to "Shrink text on overflow" on .pptx but not works.

Hello @valentimmx.

With "Shrink text on overflow" it should reduce font size if text content goes beyond the shape rectangle.

Could you share your case (.pptx file)? I would check this.

@adamshakhabov thanks for your very fast support!

Last night i found what i was doing wrong.

I was setting text directly on paragraph IParagraph.Text, and not in IAutoShape.TextFrame.

I changed this and now it works!

Here my steps:

1. Changed the shape property to "Shrink text on overflow"
   

2. Setted IAutoShape.TextFrame.Text rather than paragraph.Text

Before (Doesn't Work)

paragraph.Text = paragraph.Text.Replace("{UNDERSTANDING}", !string.IsNullOrEmpty(proposal.RequirementAnalysis) ? Regex.Replace(proposal.RequirementAnalysis, @"<[^>]+>|&nbsp;", "").Trim() : "-");

After (Works)

// Here is necessary to use "autoShape.TextFrame.Text" rather than "paragraph.Text" to wrap text inside shape.
autoShape.TextFrame.Text = paragraph.Text.Replace("{UNDERSTANDING}", !string.IsNullOrEmpty(proposal.RequirementAnalysis) ? Regex.Replace(proposal.RequirementAnalysis, @"<[^>]+>|&nbsp;", "").Trim() : "-");
