drawingtext margin

Question

Hallo,

I draw some text with the drawingcontext. I see that the text starts without any marging on the rectangle where it is drawed. How can i add some margin to the text so that it starts just a bit away from the rectangle where the text is drawed? e.g the "H" from the first letter of "Hallo" in this piece of text does not start at the beginning of the rectangle.

DrawingVisual dv = new DrawingVisual();
 DrawingContext dc = dv.RenderOpen();

dc.DrawText(ft, new Point(x, y));

Answer 1

Maybe I don't understand you correctly but what is stopping you from adding the margin to x/y coordinates? Like

dc.DrawText(ft, new Point(x + leftMargin, y + topMargin));
