Textareas

Text can be displayed on the shape using text areas. Text areas are defined in either the shape definition or in sub-shapes, which fill the bounds in which it is defined. Sub-shapes containing only text can be defined to place text on a specific area of the overall shape.

Text areas only define the placement and rendering of text. If a border is needed for a text area, for example, additional geometry must be used.
