on render center text

[keepsimple]

Hi,

is there a way to center text inside the rectangle in which its drawn using sharpdx?
i know there are certain options like leading, trailing, but what I am looking for is centering the text in terms of the height of the text. see image.

Hello,

Have you tried playing with the ParagraphAlignment property? Based on the link below, it seems that a combination of setting TextAlignment and ParagraphAlignment should allow you to position text in the center of the rectangle in which it is drawn.

You also may have luck playing with the IDWriteTextFormat interface in DirectWrite:
