Parameters

Remarks
The new Ink object retains the drawing attributes, properties, and coordinates of the original Ink object.
The default behavior for this method is to remove the Strokes collection from the original Ink object. To preserve the Strokes collection in the original Ink object and make a copy of the Ink, call either the ExtractStrokes(Strokes,ExtractFlags) or ExtractStrokes(Rectangle,ExtractFlags) overload of this method with the extractionFlags parameter set to CopyFromOriginal.
To extract a Strokes collection that is bound by a rectangle, call the ExtractStrokes(Rectangle) or ExtractStrokes(Rectangle,ExtractFlags) method.
