InkWordNode Class

Represents a ContextNode for a collection of strokes that make up a logical grouping to form a recognizable word.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Ink
Assembly:  Microsoft.Ink.Analysis (in Microsoft.Ink.Analysis.dll)

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class InkWordNode _
	Inherits ContextNode
'Usage
Dim instance As InkWordNode

An InkWordNode object cannot contain any children.

The following example loops through all InkWordNode objects from an InkAnalyzer, theInkAnalyzer, and then draws lines that show the rotated bounding rectangle, the ascender, the descender, the midline, and the baseline. The lines are drawn on a Panel, theNotesPanel.

    Dim panelGraphics As Graphics = theNotesPanel.CreateGraphics()
    Dim theRenderer As Renderer = theInkCollector.Renderer

    ' Loop through all of the ink words 
    Dim inkWords As ContextNodeCollection = _
        theInkAnalyzer.FindNodesOfType(Microsoft.Ink.ContextNodeType.InkWord)
    Dim inkWord As InkWordNode
    For Each inkWord In inkWords
        ' Show rotated bounding box in blue 
        ' Convert corners to pixel coordinates 
        Dim corners As Point() = inkWord.GetRotatedBoundingBox()
        theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, corners)
        ' Draw the rectangle
        panelGraphics.DrawPolygon(New Pen(Color.Blue), corners)

        ' Show the ascender line in green 
        Dim ascenderPoints As Point() = inkWord.GetAscender()
        ' Convert to pixel coordinates
        theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, ascenderPoints)
        panelGraphics.DrawLines(New Pen(Color.Green), ascenderPoints)

        ' Show the baseline in purple 
        Dim basePoints As Point() = inkWord.GetBaseline()
        ' Convert to pixel coordinates
        theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, basePoints)
        panelGraphics.DrawLines(New Pen(Color.Purple), basePoints)

        ' Show the descender line in yellow 
        Dim descenderPoints As Point() = inkWord.GetDescender()
        ' Convert to pixel coordinates
        theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, descenderPoints)
        panelGraphics.DrawLines(New Pen(Color.Yellow), descenderPoints)

        ' Show the mid line in brown 
        Dim midlinePoints As Point() = inkWord.GetMidline()
        ' Convert to pixel coordinates
        theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, midlinePoints)
        panelGraphics.DrawLines(New Pen(Color.Brown), midlinePoints)
    Next inkWord

    panelGraphics.Dispose()
