CHAPTER 8

Text and Ink Input and Display

8-16 Using Text

Note

The view ﬂags are described in “Views” (page 3-1). The

recognition view ﬂags are described in “Recognition”

(page 9-1).

◆

Although raw ink is intended mostly for drawing, the user can still write with raw

ink by choosing “Sketches” from the Recognition menu. The recognizer

automatically segments raw ink into ink words. The raw ink can subsequently be

recognized, using deferred recognition. Unlike ink text, raw ink is not moved or

resized after it is written.

When raw ink from a 1.x system is dragged into a paragraph view, each piece of

ink is automatically converted into an ink word. This conversion is not reversible.

Note

You can use one of two representations for text and ink that are

mixed together. The ﬁrst and more common representation is as a

rich string, as described in “Rich Strings” (page 8-22). The second

representation, used in paragraph views, is as a text string with a

corresponding series of matching style runs. This representation,

which is used for editing operations in paragraph views, is

described in “Text and Styles” (page 8-25).

Ink Word Scaling and Styling 8

Ink words are drawn using the pen thickness that the user speciﬁes in the Styles

menu. After the ink words are drawn, they are scaled by the system software. The

scaling value is speciﬁed in the Text Editing Settings menu, which the user can

access by choosing Preferences from the Recognition menu.

The standard values for scaling ink words are 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent.

After the system performs scaling, it assigns a font style and size to the ink word.

The initial style is plain. The initial size is proportional to the x-height of the ink

word, as estimated by the recognizer. This size is deﬁned so that an ink word of a

certain size will be roughly the same size as a text word displayed in a font of that

size. For example, an ink word of size 12 is drawn at roughly the same size as a

text word in a typical 12-point font, as shown in Figure 8-4. The ink words in

Figure 8-4 were ﬁrst scaled to 50 percent of their written size.
