Patent ID: 7343053

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of using a data structure stored on a computer-readable medium, said data structure for use with at least a plurality handwritten electronic ink for providing a standard ink framework, said standard ink framework including a virtual ink space, comprising the steps of: reading a data structure, said data structure including at least a first portion storing a first ink stroke in a first capture space, a second portion storing a second ink stroke in a second capture space, a third portion storing a transform table, said transform table including at least a first transform information, said first transform information providing a mapping from at least said first capture space and said second capture space to the virtual ink space, a second transform information, said second transform information providing a mapping from said virtual ink space to at least one display space; extracting from the read data structure the first and second transform information; combining the extracted first and second transform information to produce at least a plurality of distinct combined transforms; and applying the combined transforms to the first and second ink strokes.
