Apparatus and methods for dynamically rendering digital ink strokes of
arbitrary stroke width while a user is drawing the ink strokes. An ink rendering
system may receive sampled pen tip positions associated with a stylus or pen on
a digitizer. The ink rendering system may further determine pen tip instances having
particular shapes, sizes, and/or rotations, and may determine connecting shapes,
preferably quadrangles, that connect between the pen tip instances. Smoothing techniques
may also be used for existing digital ink.
