A complete sample project is available at https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/wpf-richedit-document-api-t213968.

ShapesActions.cs

document.AppendText("Line One\nLine Two\nLine Three");
StreamResourceInfo streamResInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("beverages.png", UriKind.Relative));
if (streamResInfo != null)
{
    using (Stream s = streamResInfo.Stream) 
    {
        Shape myPicture = document.Shapes.InsertPicture(document.CreatePosition(15), 
            DocumentImageSource.FromStream(s));
        myPicture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
    }
}

ShapesActions.vb

document.AppendText("Line One" & vbLf & "Line Two" & vbLf & "Line Three")
Dim streamResInfo As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(New Uri("beverages.png", UriKind.Relative))
If streamResInfo IsNot Nothing Then
    Using s As Stream = streamResInfo.Stream
        Dim myPicture As Shape = document.Shapes.InsertPicture(document.CreatePosition(15), DocumentImageSource.FromStream(s))
        myPicture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center
    End Using
End If
