Remarks

The StylusPointCollection keeps track of the StylusPoint objects that define the geometry of the Stroke object.

A StylusPointCollection can belong to more than one Stroke object; however, the only way to do this is by assigning an existing StylusPoints value of one Stroke to another using code.

The XAML syntax for properties that use a StylusPoint is potentially an example of implicit collection syntax, in which you can omit an actual StylusPointCollection object element. However, prepopulating an InkPresenter with strokes and stylus points is not a common technique; usually you start with a blank Strokes collection and capture strokes into the collection as user input with run-time code.

Examples

The following code example iterates through stylus points of the strokes drawn in the first InkPresenter control to display its mirror image in the second InkPresenter control.

    Private MyStroke As Stroke

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()
        SetBoundaryForIP1()
        SetBoundaryForIP2()
    End Sub

    'A new stroke object, MyStroke, is created and is added to the StrokeCollection object
    'of the InkPresenter, MyIP1
    Private Sub MyIP1_MouseLeftButtonDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        MyIP1.CaptureMouse()
        Dim MyStylusPointCollection As StylusPointCollection = New StylusPointCollection
        MyStylusPointCollection.Add(e.StylusDevice.GetStylusPoints(MyIP1))
        MyStroke = New Stroke(MyStylusPointCollection)
        MyIP1.Strokes.Add(MyStroke)
    End Sub

    'StylusPoint objects are collected from the MouseEventArgs and added to MyStroke
    Private Sub MyIP1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        If (Not (MyStroke) Is Nothing) Then
            MyStroke.StylusPoints.Add(e.StylusDevice.GetStylusPoints(MyIP1))
        End If
    End Sub

    'MyStroke is completed
    Private Sub MyIP1_LostMouseCapture(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        MyStroke = Nothing
    End Sub

    'Create the mirror image of the stroke collection in MyIP1 and adding it to MyIP2
    Private Sub BtMirror_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        'Iterate through the Strokes in the StrokeCollection of MyIP1
        For Each stroke As Stroke In MyIP1.Strokes
            Dim newcollection As StylusPointCollection = New StylusPointCollection
            'Iterate through the stylus points of each stroke in MyIP1
            For Each p As StylusPoint In stroke.StylusPoints
                'Create the mirror image
                Dim newpoint As StylusPoint = New StylusPoint
                newpoint.X = (MyIP1.ActualWidth - p.X)
                newpoint.Y = p.Y
                newcollection.Add(newpoint)
            Next
            'Add the mirror image to MyIP2
            Dim newStroke As Stroke = New Stroke(newcollection)
            MyIP2.Strokes.Add(newStroke)
        Next
    End Sub

Stroke MyStroke;

//A new stroke object named MyStroke is created. MyStroke is added to the StrokeCollection of the InkPresenter named MyIP1
private void MyIP1_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    MyIP1.CaptureMouse();
    StylusPointCollection MyStylusPointCollection = new StylusPointCollection();
    MyStylusPointCollection.Add(e.StylusDevice.GetStylusPoints(MyIP1));
    MyStroke = new Stroke(MyStylusPointCollection);
    MyIP1.Strokes.Add(MyStroke);
}

//StylusPoint objects are collected from the MouseEventArgs and added to MyStroke
private void MyIP1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (MyStroke != null)
        MyStroke.StylusPoints.Add(e.StylusDevice.GetStylusPoints(MyIP1));
}

//MyStroke is completed
private void MyIP1_LostMouseCapture(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    MyStroke = null;
}

//Create the mirror image of the stroke collection in MyIP1 and adding it to MyIP2
private void BtMirror_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Iterate through the Strokes in the StrokeCollection of MyIP1
    foreach (Stroke stroke in MyIP1.Strokes)
    {
        StylusPointCollection newcollection = new StylusPointCollection();
        //Iterate through the stylus points of each stroke in MyIP1
        foreach (StylusPoint p in stroke.StylusPoints)
        {
            //Create the mirror image
            StylusPoint newpoint = new StylusPoint();
            newpoint.X = MyIP1.ActualWidth - p.X;
            newpoint.Y = p.Y;
            newcollection.Add(newpoint);
        }
        //Add the mirror image to MyIP2
        Stroke newStroke = new Stroke(newcollection);
        MyIP2.Strokes.Add(newStroke);
    }
