            GraphicStyle shapeStyle = new GraphicStyle("GS1");
            shapeStyle.GraphicProperties.FillColor = "#4472C4";
            shapeStyle.GraphicProperties.StrokeColor = "#000000";
            doc.AutomaticStyles.Styles.Add(shapeStyle);

            Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
            rect.Style = "GS1";
            rect.X = new Size(20, Unit.Millimeter);
            rect.Y = new Size(20, Unit.Millimeter);
            rect.Width = new Size(80, Unit.Millimeter);
            rect.Height = new Size(40, Unit.Millimeter);

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.Add(rect);
            doc.Body.Add(p1);

            doc.Save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);

        rect.Width = New Size(80, Unit.Millimeter)
        rect.Height = New Size(40, Unit.Millimeter)

        Dim p1 As Paragraph = New Paragraph
        p1.Add(rect)
        doc.Body.Add(p1)
