FitToCurve Property

Gets or sets the value that specifies whether Bezier smoothing is used to render ink.

Declaration

[C++]

[propput] HRESULT put_FitToCurve ([in] VARIANT_BOOL FitToCurve);
[propget] HRESULT get_FitToCurve ([out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL*
    FitToCurve);

[Microsoft® Visual Basic® 6.0]

Public Property Get FitToCurve() As Boolean
Public Property Let FitToCurve(ByVal isFitToCurve As Boolean)

Property Value

VARIANT_BOOL Returns or sets the Boolean value that specifies how the ink is rendered.

This property is read/write.

TRUE The ink is rendered as a series of curves.
FALSE Default. The ink is rendered as lines between pen sample points.

Return Value

HRESULT value Description
S_OK Success.
E_POINTER The FitToCurve parameter is an invalid pointer.
E_INK_EXCEPTION An exception occurred inside the method.
E_INVALIDARG The specified mode is invalid.

Remarks

Bezier smoothing renders ink as a series of curves instead of as lines between pen sample points. Rendering ink as a series of curves is useful for smoothing the ink, especially when the person writing the ink has unsteady writing.

If you set this property while collecting a stroke or strokes, the ink does not render as a series of curves until it is redrawn or refreshed.

Example

[Visual Basic 6.0]

This Visual Basic 6.0 example shows a menu handler to toggle the FitToCurve property.

'...
    Dim theInkCollector As InkCollector
'...
    Private Sub MenuInkFitToCurve_Click()
        MenuInkFitToCurve.Checked = Not MenuInkFitToCurve.Checked
        theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.FitToCurve = _
            MenuInkFitToCurve.Checked
        Refresh
    End Sub
