ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for dynamically rendering transparent ink strokes, in some situations such that the rendered ink stroke has transparency similar to physical ink while it is being drawn. For example, the ink stroke may be dynamically rendered as a stroke having uniform transparency while it is being drawn. Only the new ink segment that has most recently been added to the stroke may be drawn, and areas of the new ink segment that overlap older segments of the ink stroke may be frozen, or excluded from being re-painted.
