The following example shows how to set the IsOptimalParagraphEnabled property programmatically.

FlowDocument flowDoc = new FlowDocument(new Paragraph(new Run("A bit of text content...")));

// Enable automatic hyphenation.
flowDoc.IsHyphenationEnabled = true;
// Enable optimal paragraph layout.
flowDoc.IsOptimalParagraphEnabled = true;

Dim flowDoc As New FlowDocument(New Paragraph(New Run("A bit of text content...")))

' Enable automatic hyphenation.
flowDoc.IsHyphenationEnabled = True
' Enable optimal paragraph layout.
flowDoc.IsOptimalParagraphEnabled = True

Remarks

Optimal paragraph layout is a feature that lays out paragraphs in the FlowDocument such that white space is distributed as evenly as possible. Theoretically, this provides an optimized reading experience by eliminating distracting white space that can occur with line-justified text and other layout routines. Optimal paragraph layout is particularly effective when coupled with automatic hyphenation (represented by the IsHyphenationEnabled property).
