How to get text area rectangle from shape type, position, size and adjustment values?

[Regina Henschel]

Hi all,

I know that the calculation of moTextOffFoo values in transform2dcontext 
is correct in principle. But I am very unhappy with calculating the 
position and size of the required text area rectangle by hand using the 
preset geometry. I have now done this for the shape types that I know 
are in the preset SmartArts. But the user can also exchange these shapes 
with others in the UI of MS Office. So the calculation of the text area 
rectangle would have to be done for all preset shapes. That's why I'm 
looking for another way.

At that point I have the type of the shape and know position, size and 
adjustment values. If I had a ready CustomShape, I could get the needed 
text area rectangle with the method getTextBounds(). But in 
transform2dcontext.cxx there is no CustomShape. Or do I miss something?

Is there any way to make such a shape temporarily so that you can use 
getTextBounds()? Or maybe someone has another idea how to get the text 
area rectangle from type, position, size and adjustment values?

Kind regards
Regina
