When exporting a chart to Visio, the text alignment (left, right, centre) is not preserved and boxes with the same Pen and Brush as the chart background are also not handled well. Example images are attached.

I used the copy of Visio that is part of Microsoft 365.

The text alignment works well now. Thank you.

The problem with other boxes that should not be coloured might be something to do with the 'Transparent' attribute being ignored.  To add a 'Sequence Number' box above the main box the code is...

            seqNoLabel.Text            = "1.2.3";
            seqNoLabel.TextFormat  = new StringFormat { Alignment = StringAlignment.Near };
            seqNoLabel.Transparent = true;
            seqNoLabel.Locked        = true;
            seqNoLabel.Expandable  = false;
            seqNoLabel.Font            = LabelFont;
            seqNoLabel.TextBrush    = TextBrush;

Thank you, the transparent boxes now work fine, but there are still a lot of issues. I can detail them if you want to continue developing this feature, but this investigation was prompted by a question from a possible customer of our software that has not purchased anything yet. So I am tempted to return to this when they have confirned a purchase.

Thanks for your help.
