Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for creating a data structure for use with handwritten electronic ink for providing a standard ink framework, said handwritten electronic ink being data in a ink capture space, said method comprising the steps of: receiving a first ink stroke in a first ink capture space and a second ink stroke in a second ink capture space; determining a first mapping of coordinates associated with the first ink stroke from said first ink capture space to a virtual ink space defined by said standard framework, said first mapping for transforming the coordinate data in said first ink capture space to said virtual ink space defined by said standard ink framework; determining a second mapping of coordinates associated with the first ink stroke between said virtual ink space and an output space, said second mapping for transforming the coordinate data in said virtual ink space to said output space; creating a data structure simultaneously holding the first ink stroke, the second ink stroke, the first mapping, and the second mapping, the data structure including: storing the data structure in a persistent data storage device.
