TextSymbol lower left corner location

[KarenRobine]

I have a TextSymbol.  But the placement is set to middle.  But I basically need to obtain the lower left corner of the text in map units. Possible?

I've looked at the graphics geometry but since its a MapPoint, there's not an extent set for it.

Hi!

Using "end" as placement and setting offset to -15 in both x and y should do the trick.
