Methods

	Name	Description
	CheckAccess	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	ClearValue	Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetAnimationBaseValue	Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	GetBounds	Retrieves the bounding box for the Stroke object.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetValue	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	HitTest	Indicates whether a specified StylusPointCollection intersects with a Stroke object.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ReadLocalValue	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	SetValue	Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

A Stroke is the data object that is collected from a pointing device, such as a tablet pen or a mouse. The Stroke can be created and manipulated programmatically, and can be represented visually on an ink-enabled element, such as the InkPresenter. A Stroke contains information about both its position and appearance. The StylusPoints property is a collection of StylusPoint objects that specifies the geometry of the Stroke. The DrawingAttributes property specifies a stroke's appearance.

Examples

The following code example shows how can create a static stroke using XAML.

<Canvas>
    <InkPresenter x:Name="MyIP" Height="100" Width="200" Background="Transparent">
        <InkPresenter.Strokes>
            <StrokeCollection>
                <Stroke>
                    <Stroke.DrawingAttributes>
                        <DrawingAttributes Color="Red" OutlineColor="Black" Width="5" Height="5"/>
                    </Stroke.DrawingAttributes>
                    <Stroke.StylusPoints>
                        <StylusPoint X="50" Y="50"/>
                        <StylusPoint X="55" Y="55"/>
                        <StylusPoint X="60" Y="60"/>
                        <StylusPoint X="65" Y="65"/>
                        <StylusPoint X="70" Y="70"/>
                        <StylusPoint X="75" Y="75"/>
                    </Stroke.StylusPoints>
                </Stroke>
            </StrokeCollection>
        </InkPresenter.Strokes>
    </InkPresenter>
</Canvas>
