A reference to this instance after the method is called.

Remarks

To configure a custom shape collection, use a multiline lambda expression. In this case, a lambda parameter performs the role of a collection factory, and its Add() method adds a new item to the collection. The Add() method returns DiagramCustomShapeBuilder whose methods you can use to configure an item.

        customShapes.Add(); // call methods to configure a custom shape

)
