   ByVal elementContainer As ILayoutElementContainer, _
   ByVal ellipse As EllipticArcSegment, _
   Optional ByVal text As String _
) As GraphicElement

Parameters

elementContainer
Layout or GroupElement
ellipse
EllipticArcSegment
text
String

Return Value

Returns a GraphicElement.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
Remarks
If the element container is a Layout then the element gets added to the root level of the layout TOC at the top most position. If the element container is a GroupElement then it gets added to the group at the topmost position.
Example
//Create ellipse paragraph text with basic text settings and optionally a modified border.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  Coordinate2D center = new Coordinate2D(4.5, 2.75);
  EllipticArcBuilder eabElp = new EllipticArcBuilder(center, 0, 1, 0.45, esriArcOrientation.esriArcClockwise);
  EllipticArcSegment ellipse = eabElp.ToSegment();

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMTextSymbol sym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructTextSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlueRGB, 10, "Arial", "Regular");
  string text = "Ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse, ellipse";
  GraphicElement elpTxtElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateEllipseParagraphGraphicElement(layout, ellipse, text, sym);
  elpTxtElm.SetName("New Ellipse Text");

  //(Optionally) Modify paragraph border 
  CIMGraphic elpTxtGra = elpTxtElm.GetGraphic();
  CIMParagraphTextGraphic cimElpTxtGra = elpTxtGra as CIMParagraphTextGraphic;
  cimElpTxtGra.Frame.BorderSymbol = new CIMSymbolReference();
  cimElpTxtGra.Frame.BorderSymbol.Symbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructLineSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.GreyRGB, 1.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid);
  elpTxtElm.SetGraphic(elpTxtGra);
});
