I have a MigraDoc table where I specify a row height of 0.75cm, and the text is vertically-aligned in the middle of the cell. When I set cell.Format.Shading.Color to something non-white, there is still a portion of the cell near the border that is shown as white around all four sides.
I discovered I can remove the white section to the left and right of the text by setting column.LeftPadding = 0 and column.RightPadding = 0. However, I cannot figure out how to get the white stripes at the top/bottom of the text to disappear without affecting the vertical alignment of the text. If I change the paragraph line height to 0.75cm, the stripes disappear, but the text is then bottom-aligned within the cell. I cannot set the column shading color because each cell in the column contains a different color. Does anyone know a way to force the paragraph to fill the cell vertically (or otherwise get the background color to be uniform within the cell)?
Here is a sample of my code (in C#) where table is of type MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Tables.Table:
...
// Add a column at index #2
var column = table.AddColumn();
column.LeftPadding = 0;
column.RightPadding = 0;
// Add more columns
...
// Iterate through the data printed in each row
foreach (var rowData in myData)
{
// Create a row for the data
var row = table.AddRow();
row.Height = ".75cm";
row.Format.Font.Size = 11;
row.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
...
// The following is for illustrative purposes... the actual
// colors and text is determined by the data within the cell
var cell = row.Cells[2];
cell.Format.Shading.Color = Colors.Black;
cell.Format.Font.Color = Colors.White;
var paragraph = cell.AddParagraph("Example");
...
}
Try cell.Shading.Color
instead of cell.Format.Shading.Color
- the former sets the colour of the cell, the latter sets the colour of the text background (and the padding of the cell will then have a different colour).
