Abstract: A facility for adapting the prediction of ink is described. In some examples, the facility receives information about a spatial movement by a user. On the basis of the received information, the facility predicts future spatial movement by the user, and generates an ink stroke that reflects both the spatial movement described by the received information and at least a portion of the predicted future spatial movement. The facility enforces against the generated ink stroke a limit that has the effect of controlling the area of a portion of the ink stroke corresponding to the at least a portion of the predicted future spatial movement, and causes the generated ink stroke, subject to the enforcement of the limit, to be displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving the latency for display of ink during user creation of ink content with an object, such as a stylus, mouse, finger (or other touch input), or other drawing device. In order to reduce or minimize the time for display of ink content created by a user, aspects of the technology described herein generate predictive wet ink that can be displayed with actual wet ink. The predictive wet ink is calculated by extending an active ink segment a predictive distance. The predictive distance is intended to be a distance between a termination ink point for an active wet ink segment and a tip of the writing object. In one aspect, the predictive distance is calculated by determining the current latency period on a touch device and the velocity of the writing object.

Abstract: A platform-level container configured to hold natively-supported ink stroke data structures is maintained. The platform-level container is accessible to a plurality of different applications. An ink stroke visual corresponding to each ink stroke data structure held by the platform-level container is rendered via a display. An ink stroke change event corresponding to an ink stroke data structure held by the platform-level container is recognized. The ink stroke data structure is changed to an updated ink stroke data structure in accordance with the ink stroke change event. An ink stroke visual corresponding to the updated ink stroke data structure is rendered via the display without re-rendering ink stroke visuals corresponding to unchanged ink stroke data structures.
