Rendering animated user input strokes

Abstract:

A device implementing a system for rendering animated user input strokes includes at least one processor configured to retrieve a user-specified mapping of physical characteristics of input strokes to ink parameters, and to receive input stroke data, the input stroke data including metadata corresponding to physical characteristics of the input stroke data. The at least one processor is configured to generate, based on the user-specified mapping, a set of ink parameters from the metadata corresponding to the physical characteristics of the input stroke data, and to render, using at least a portion of the generated set of ink parameters, a stroke based on the input stroke data.
