Rich_PictureFormat_SetPicture

Document document = richEditControl.Document;

// Set the measurement unit to inches.
document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Inch;

// Insert a picture.
Shape picture = document.Shapes.InsertPicture(document.Range.Start, DocumentImageSource.FromFile("Picture_Dog.png"));

// Set the picture size.
picture.Size = new SizeF(3f, 2.5f);

// Align the picture.
picture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
picture.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Top;

// Change the picture's form.
picture.PictureFormat.Preset = ShapeGeometryPreset.RoundedRectangle;

// Display a border around the picture.
picture.Line.Color = Color.Black;

// Replace the picture.
picture.PictureFormat.SetPicture(DocumentImageSource.FromFile("Picture_Cat.png"));
