Abstract
Techniques for ink anchoring are described. In one or more implementations, an interactive canvas is displayed on one or more display devices of a computing device. An ink object is generated by digitizing ink input received to the interactive canvas. In response to determining that the ink object overlaps an object in the interactive canvas, the ink object is anchored to the object such that a spatial relationship between the ink object and the object is maintained if the ink object or the object is manipulated.
