Stroke Headers
A stroke refers to the data points collected while the pen is in contact with the
tablet. These are called pen-down points. When the user lifts the pen, the stroke ends. A new stroke begins when the
pen next touches the tablet. Some tablets also support proximity strokes, which consist of points received when the pen is not in contact with the
tablet but near enough for the tablet to sense the pen movement. Such points are
called pen-up points; a stroke consisting of pen-up points is said to have a pen-up state.
As Figure 4.1 shows, a stroke header prefaces each collection of pen
coordinates that make up a single stroke. Note that the structure of the stroke header
in version 2.0 of the Pen API is different from the stroke header of version
1.0, because, instead of the STROKEINFO structure used in version 1.0, the stroke header now consists of a
variable-length array . The current STROKEINFO structure is still compatible with version 1.0 stroke headers.
Figure 4.1 shows strokes of different sizes. This is because the pen can be in
contact with the surface of the tablet for longer or shorter periods of time,
resulting in more or fewer points of data. The length of a single stroke is
limited only by the 64K maximum size of an HPENDATA memory block.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
