Defines values that specify the attributes of an ink recognizer.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink.Analysis (in Microsoft.Ink.Analysis.dll)

Syntax

Members

	Member name	Description
	None	No capabilities specified.
	DoNotCare	Ignores all other flags that are set.
	Object	Supports object recognition; otherwise, recognizes only text.
	FreeInput	Supports free input, where ink is entered without the use of a recognition guide, such as a line or a box.
	LinedInput	Supports lined input, which is similar to writing on lined paper.
	BoxedInput	Supports boxed input, where each character or word is entered in a box.
	CharacterAutoCompletionInput	Supports character Autocomplete. Recognizers that support character Autocomplete require boxed input.
	RightAndDown	Supports handwriting input in right and down order, such as in western languages and some East Asian languages.
	LeftAndDown	Supports handwriting input in left and down order, such as in Hebrew and Arabic languages.
	DownAndLeft	Supports handwriting input in down and left order, such as in some East Asian languages.
	DownAndRight	Supports handwriting input in down and right order, such as in some East Asian languages.
	ArbitraryAngle	Supports text written at arbitrary angles.
	Lattice	Supports returning a Lattice object as an alternative to String for handwriting recognition results.
	AdviseInkChange	Supports interrupting background recognition, such as when the ink has changed.
	StrokeReorder	Supports that stroke order—spatial and temporal—is handled as part of the recognition operation. The InkAnalyzer does not reorder strokes before sending ink to the InkRecognizer.
	Personalizable	Supports personalized handwriting, where the recognizer improves recognition when exposed to the same handwriting over time.
	PrefersArbitraryAngle	Supports that the InkAnalyzer need not rotate the handwriting to a horizontal orientation before sending the ink to the InkRecognizer.
	PrefersParagraphBreaking	Indicates that the InkAnalyzer should send entire paragraphs of ink to the InkRecognizer, allowing the InkRecognizers to do the Line breaking and Word (or character) breaking.
	PrefersSegmentationRecognition	Indicates that the InkAnalyzer will send the InkRecognizer indvidual ink words (or characters depending on the language) when recognizing, instead of sending entire lines of writing.

Remarks

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values. Use this enumeration to find an installed ink recognizer that supports the attributes you need.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the InkRecognizerCapabilities enumeration.

' Get the first recognizer from the InkRecognizerCollection that supports 
' boxed input. 
Dim theFirstBoxedInputInkRecognizer As InkRecognizer = _
    myInkRecognizers.GetPriorityInkRecognizer( _
            InkRecognizerCapabilities.BoxedInput)

// Get the first recognizer from the InkRecognizerCollection that supports 
// boxed input.
InkRecognizer theFirstBoxedInputInkRecognizer =
    myInkRecognizers.GetPriorityInkRecognizer(
        InkRecognizerCapabilities.BoxedInput);
