InkRecognizerBase Class

Provides access to handwriting recognizers for use with ink analysis.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Ink.AnalysisCore
Assembly:  IACore (in IACore.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class InkRecognizerBase _
    Implements IDisposable
'Usage
Dim instance As InkRecognizerBase
public class InkRecognizerBase : IDisposable
public ref class InkRecognizerBase : IDisposable
public class InkRecognizerBase implements IDisposable

Remarks

A recognizer has specific attributes and properties that allow it to perform recognition. The properties of a recognizer must be determined before recognition can occur. The types of properties that a recognizer supports determine the types of recognition that it can perform. For instance, if a recognizer does not support cursive handwriting, it returns inaccurate results when a user writes in cursive.

A recognizer also has built-in functionality that automatically manages many aspects of handwriting. For instance, it determines the metrics for the lines on which strokes are drawn. You can return the line number of a stroke, but you never need to specify how those line metrics are determined because of the built-in functionality of the recognizer.

The InkAnalyzerBase maintains a InkRecognizerBaseCollection of available recognizers. To access this collection, use the GetInkRecognizersByPriority method of the InkAnalyzerBase.

Examples

The following example defines a method that returns a string containing information about a specified InkRecognizerBase. Not shown in this example are the helper methods ListCapabilities and GetPropertyName, which use reflection to return information about specific capabilities and properties of the InkRecognizerBase.

''' Generates a string containing information about the specified InkRecognizer.

''' <param name="theInkRecognizer">

''' A string containing information about the specified InkRecognizer.
