I have been trying to convert x-y coordinates obtained from the wacom clipboard my handwritten text-

i have converted it to PointerEvents as-

follows as how i obtained pointer events array from clipboard strokes

pointerEvents2[k] = new PointerEvent(PointerEventType.CANCEL, saved_strokes.get(i)[j].x, saved_strokes.get(i)[j].y, saved_strokes.get(i)[j].timestampInMillis, 1.0f, PointerType.PEN, 1);

editor.pointerEvents(pointerEvents2,false);
editor.waitForIdle();
try {
    editor.export_(null, MimeType.TEXT);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

*Editor have been initialised and all but i still get error at editor.pointerEvents(pointerEvents2,false);

Please help me out where it got wrong.

I also tried same text points conversion on MyScriptJs but it isn't accurate with words its doing fine with the characters-

Dear Olivier

Thanks for your time, I did converted the pointer events as you suggested but it results the same let me post the error too if it might help.

above is pointerEvents with down, move and up actions

File file = new File(getFilesDir(), packageName);

                ContentPackage pkg = engine.createPackage(file);

                ContentPart part = pkg.createPart("Text");

                editor.setPart(part);

                editor.pointerEvents(pointerEvents2, false);

                editor.waitForIdle();

                try {

                    editor.export_(null, MimeType.TEXT);

                } catch (IOException e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();

                } 

but i still get the error at NativeFunctions.pointerEvents

here is error screen-

Also at the MyScriptJS

https://myscript.github.io/MyScriptJS/examples/v4/pointer_events.html

if we feed  pointer events stroke by stroke it converts right but all strokes are fed via pointerEvents it converts with inaccuracy as i mentioned earlier so i need to know if there is a way to feed it with complete pointerEvents array and it provide accurate corresponding text

Thanks with regards

Hello Olivier,

I am attaching the class and few snapshots of data in arrays .

iam not able to download this app pls help it says wrong email address when i click on certificate where as email id is correct 

Dear Olivier,

thanks for your solution on MyScriptJS text.guides.enable to false did solved my problem, now conversion is quite accurate.

>I am nevertheless puzzled by your "saved_strokes" variable. What does it look like? 

and on java saved_strokes is the array_list of strokes array

>When doing "size+=saved_strokes.get(z).length;" what is the value of the size variable?

here each item represent a stroke and each stroke contains a collection of x-y coordinates which you can see here 98, 112, 46.. so so size+=saved_strokes.get(z).length it give sum of all x-y points of all stroke just to initialise the pointerEvents array so size for above case will be 540 as instance.

>When filling your pointerEvents2 array, is it properly filled? Indeed, I am thinking it may not be properly filled. Can you please check it carefully?

pointsEvents2 array is accurate according to me as the size also equals the 540 equal to above points and same data now fed on MyScriptJS it does return accurate conversion, so i am not sure what is wrong here.

I do appreciate your time and effort please help this crash solution

Hello Olivier,

I also want  to ask how to get multi line text as recognition result as for now it returns single line text regardless input strokes were multi line.

Is there any way to make inputTextType to multi_line_text kind of something as i couldn't find for MyScriptJS.

is textInputMode i found related can it work?

Thanks and regards

Jai Singh Hada

Dear Olivier,

Thanks for all your prompt support it does solved all my issues.

Thanks with regards,

Jai Singh Hada

Hello,

I am trying the same but text conversion is not accurate for single character and also for a word.

ex- if i write P on wacom bamboo writing pad then it recognise it as either ' s ' or ' g '.

need your help to short out this.

Thanks & Regards
