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 uses a Polyline to draw the ascender line for an InkWordNode, inkWord, on an InkCanvas, theInkCanvas.

Dim ascenderLine As New Polyline()

ascenderLine.Points = inkWord.GetAscender()
ascenderLine.Stroke = Brushes.Green

Me.theInkCanvas.Children.Add(ascenderLine)

Polyline ascenderLine = new Polyline();

ascenderLine.Points = inkWord.GetAscender();
ascenderLine.Stroke = Brushes.Green;

this.theInkCanvas.Children.Add(ascenderLine);
