Abstract
Digital ink is generated to represent a visual component, such as a letter, number, character, and/or other symbol. The digital ink is generated by obtaining multiple different curves that combine to generate the visual component. These different curves can have various different characteristics (e.g., different thicknesses) to provide the desired visual component. The combined curves are converted into a set of primitives that make up the parts of the combined curves, and the set of primitives are converted into a digital ink format. Data describing the set of primitives in digital ink format can be stored and subsequently used to display the visual component as digital ink.
