Abstract

Ink is stored in a data structure that includes a mapping of the ink'"'"'s coordinates from one space to another. The responsibility of transforming the ink into desired coordinates occurs after the capture of the ink and at least based on the mapping in the data structure.

Claims

1. A method of using a data structure comprising the steps of:

reading a data structure containing at least one ink stroke;

reading first transform information from a transform table; and

applying a transform based on at least the first transform information to the at least one ink stroke.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

after the reading transformation information step, determining second transform information; and

combining the second transform information with the first transform information prior to applying the transform to the ink stroke.
