Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for improving the latency for display of ink during user creation of ink content with a stylus, mouse, finger (or other touch input), or other drawing device for tracing a desired location for ink content in a display area. In order to reduce or minimize the time for display of ink content created by a user using a stylus/mouse/touch input/other device, a separate ink rendering process thread can be used that operates within the operating system and in parallel to other application threads. When it is desired to create ink content within an application, user interactions corresponding to creation of ink content can be handled by the separate ink rendering process thread. This can avoid potential delays in displaying ink content due to an application handling other events in a process flow.
