Return Value

Returns the ascender line for an InkWordNode object.

Remarks

For Latin script, the ascender line is the portion of a lowercase letter than extends above the main body (the midline) of that letter. For example, in the letter "b," the ascender is the vertical line that extends above the highest point of the circle. The ascender line is the imaginary horizontal line across the top of the ascenders.

Example

The following example draws the ascender line for an InkWordNode, inkWord, by using a Renderer object, renderer, and a Graphics object, panelGraphics, which was created by a Panel.

Dim ascenderPoints As Point() = inkWord.GetAscender()

' Convert to pixel coordinates
Dim indexAscender As Integer
For indexAscender = 0 To ascenderPoints.Length - 1
    theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, ascenderPoints(indexAscender))
Next indexAscender
panelGraphics.DrawLines(New Pen(Color.Green), ascenderPoints)

Point[] ascenderPoints = inkWord.GetAscender();
// Convert to pixel coordinates
for (int i = 0; i < ascenderPoints.Length; i++)
{
    theRenderer.InkSpaceToPixel(panelGraphics, ref ascenderPoints[i]);
}
panelGraphics.DrawLines(new Pen(Color.Green), ascenderPoints);
