oFill = Api.CreateRadialGradientFill([oGs1, oGs2]);
oStroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
var oShape = Api.CreateShape("flowChartMagneticTape", 300 * 36000, 130 * 36000, oFill, oStroke);
oShape.SetPosition(608400, 1267200);
oDocContent = oShape.GetDocContent();
oParagraph = oDocContent.GetElement(0);
oParagraph.AddText("This is an example of setting a space before a paragraph. ");
oParagraph.AddText("The second paragraph will have an offset of one inch from the top. ");
