Example

//Create curve text with basic text properties.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  Coordinate2D pt1 = new Coordinate2D(3.6, 7.5);
  Coordinate2D pt2 = new Coordinate2D(4.26, 8);
  Coordinate2D pt3 = new Coordinate2D(4.93, 7.1);
  Coordinate2D pt4 = new Coordinate2D(5.6, 7.5);
  CubicBezierBuilder bez = new CubicBezierBuilder(pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4);
  CubicBezierSegment bezSeg = bez.ToSegment();
  Polyline bezPl = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(bezSeg);

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMTextSymbol sym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructTextSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 24, "Comic Sans MS", "Regular");
  GraphicElement bezTxtElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateCurvedTextGraphicElement(layout, bezPl, "Curved Text", sym);
  bezTxtElm.SetName("New Splinned Text");
});
