  • Interfacing with ink
    Patent number: 7167585
    Abstract: The present invention relates to interfacing with electronic ink. Ink is stored in a data structure that permits later retrieval by applications. The ink includes stroke information and may include property information. Through various programming interfaces, one may interact with the ink through methods and setting or retrieving properties. Other objects and collections may be used as well in conjunction with the ink objects.

  • Method and apparatus for scale independent cusp detection
    Patent number: 7146046
    Abstract: An apparatus and a processor-implemented method are provided for determining a cusp within a stroke of electronic ink. Curvature at each of a plurality of points on the stroke is estimated. Based on the estimated curvature at each of the plurality of points, a neighborhood of the points where the cusp resides is identified. One of the points in the neighborhood of the points is determined to correspond to the cusp.

  • Overlaying electronic ink
    Publication number: 20030217336
    Abstract: Overlaying electronic ink over a document. A typical scenario may be where one it would be useful to mark up a document with electronic ink, such as by making handwritten comments, drawings, and the like over the underlying document. In some embodiments, a developer may easily define an inking surface, such as a transparent or opaque window, over a document. The inking surface may act as an input interface such that a user may write onto the inking surface such that is appears that the document itself is being marked up.
