PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

If I create a rectangle and place text into it with :

rect = new XRect(310, 100, 250, 220);
gfx.DrawRectangle(XBrushes.SeaShell, rect);
tf.Alignment = XParagraphAlignment.Right;
tf.DrawString(text, font, XBrushes.Black, rect, XStringFormats.TopLeft);

but the text is more than the size of the rectangle, is there a way for the rectangle to expand to fit the amount of text or is that not possible with pdfsharp ? Maybe I have to use MigraDoc instead.

Calculate the size of the text, then draw a rectangle that is large enough, then draw the text.

You could use XGraphics.MeasureString.

That is interesting way of doing it.

I can see that I can get the size using MeasureString which returns the width and height of 1148 and 265 but I can't see how I relate that to a different sized box.

So if I want a box of width 900 I can't see how I calculate the height.
