OnRender(): how to align text vertically?

[fx.practic]

Hello. In NT7 we can use

float Font.GetHeight( Graphics graphics); 

Can't find same way in SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat

Here is example of placing text with size 40 in rectangle with height 40

SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat text_format = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat(NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.DirectWriteFactory, "Arial", 
SharpDX.DirectWrite.FontWeight.Regular, SharpDX.DirectWrite.FontStyle.Normal, SharpDX.DirectWrite.FontStretch.Expanded, 40f);
            
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF( 50, 50, 1800, 40);
RenderTarget.DrawText( "AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz", text_format, rect, new DxSolidColorBrush( RenderTarget, DxColor.Black ) );
RenderTarget.DrawRectangle( rect, new DxSolidColorBrush( RenderTarget, DxColor.White ) ); 

Font height looks less than rectangle height, and it definitely aligned to bottom.

Looks, this is it:

text_format.ParagraphAlignment =  SharpDX.DirectWrite.ParagraphAlignment.Center;
