C# OpenXML image in center

Question

I'm trying to generate a DocX document with an image in the center of the document, but i have tried several things but nothing has worked out. The image is showing but in the top left corner. The function addImageToBody is from the MS website ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb497430(v=office.15).aspx ). I've tried to use the HorizontalPosition Class ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/documentformat.openxml.drawing.wordprocessing.horizontalposition(v=office.14).aspx ) but is has not worked for me.

add image and call function:

 MainDocumentPart mainPart = document.MainDocumentPart;

                ImagePart imagePart = mainPart.AddImagePart(ImagePartType.Png);


                using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(@"C:...\Logo.png", FileMode.Open))
                {
                    imagePart.FeedData(stream);

                }

                AddImageToBody(document, mainPart.GetIdOfPart(imagePart));

and function:

 private static void AddImageToBody(WordprocessingDocument wordDoc, string relationshipId)
    {
        int defX = 854;
        int defY = 350;
        int size = 3000;
        // Define the reference of the image.
        var element =
             new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Drawing(
                 new DW.Inline(
                     new DW.Extent() { Cx = defX * size, Cy = defY * size },

        // Append the reference to body, the element should be in a Run.
        wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.AppendChild(new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Paragraph(new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Run(element)));
    }

You need to center the paragraph that is holding the image. You can do it using paragraph properties (last line of your code):

wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.AppendChild(
    new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Paragraph(new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Run(element)) 
    { 
        ParagraphProperties = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.ParagraphProperties() 
        { 
            Justification = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Justification() 
            { 
                Val = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.JustificationValues.Center 
            } 
        } 
    });
