MigraDoc TextFrame Overflow Options

Question

TextFrames in MigraDoc are really handy but when i add paragraphs to the textframes that exceeds the boundary of the text frame, it simply overflows beyond the frame. But I dont want the text to go beyond the frame .

I have defined text frame boundaries

  TextFrame textFrame = new TextFrame();
        textFrame.RelativeHorizontal = RelativeHorizontal.Page;
        textFrame.RelativeVertical = RelativeVertical.Page;


        textFrame.WrapFormat.DistanceLeft = new Unit(_mContainer.dimension.X, UnitType.Point);
        textFrame.WrapFormat.DistanceTop = new Unit(_mContainer.dimension.Y, UnitType.Point);   


        textFrame.Width = new Unit(_mContainer.dimension.Width, UnitType.Point);
        textFrame.Height = new Unit(_mContainer.dimension.Height, UnitType.Point);

I'm afraid you cannot currently prevent the TextFrames from overflowing.

So make sure the texts fit - or truncate them before adding them to the TextFrame.

You may have already found this from here: http://forum.pdfsharp.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=682

The solution is embed a Table inside the TextFrame. The Table only contains one row, one column, but it expands to the content, as the TextFrame expands to the Table.

Ah. You want to clip the content. That wasn't as clear. I read your question as complaining that the frame wasn't expanding to surround the text. – Alan McBee Dec 04 '13 at 03:39
I'm not a full-on expert on MigraDoc -- but reading through the MigraDoc source code, I don't see built-in clipping support. My guess is that you would need to extend the source code yourself, or directly manipulate the XGraphics objects yourself. – Alan McBee Dec 04 '13 at 03:40
