MyScript iink SDK is a flexible toolkit, and its default configuration can be adjusted to meet different needs. This page lists available options, their default values and usage.

You can access the configuration during the creation of an editor. Refer to the Interactive Ink editing page of the guide for more instructions.

General

For the sake of clarity path of parameter are given. For example recognitionParams.type key match following entry in the configuration :

const configuration = {
  recognitionParams: {
    type: '...'
  }
}

Content type compatibility

The supported content types depends on the protocol you are using. The table below should help you.

  Recognition type
Protocol : Websocket MATH, TEXT
Protocol : REST MATH, TEXT, DIAGRAM, Raw Content

Common parameters

Key Type Default value Description
recognitionParams.type string TEXT MATH, TEXT, DIAGRAM, Raw Content
recognitionParams.protocol string WEBSOCKET REST or WEBSOCKET to choose the API to use.
recognitionParams.server.scheme string https Server URL scheme (http/https)
recognitionParams.server.host string cloud.myscript.com Server host (cloud.myscript.com is the production url, webdemoapi.myscript.com is reserved for demonstration purpose)
recognitionParams.server.applicationKey string undefined MyScript Cloud applicationKey
recognitionParams.server.hmacKey string undefined MyScript Cloud hmacKey
recognitionParams.server.websocket.pingEnabled boolean true Enable/disable ping checks of the network connectivity (Improve network stability when enable)
recognitionParams.server.websocket.pingDelay number 30000 Delay in millisecond to wait before sending a ping. A ping is sent if no exchange occurs between the browser and teh server since last ping.
recognitionParams.server.websocket.maxPingLostCount number 10 Failed ping count before closing the socket
recognitionParams.server.websocket.autoReconnect boolean true Will try to automatically reconnect when websocket is close or when a timeout is detected. Do not handle the case when user change network on his device.
recognitionParams.server.websocket.maxRetryCount number 2 Number of retries when auto reconnect is enabled
recognitionParams.server.websocket.fileChunkSize number 2 File chunk size in bytes
listenerOptions.* Object {capture: false, passive: true} Options when adding event listeners whit addEventListener function
xyFloatPrecision number 0 Precision of x and y from 0 to 10 (integer). More the value is high more precise will be the point capture but object in memory and send to the server will be heavier.
timestampFloatPrecision number 0 Precision of the timestamp
triggerDelay number 2000 Delay in millisecond to wait before doing an action if in QUIET_PERIOD. If an other action is perform during the quiet period, timer is reset.
processDelay number 0 Quiet period duration in millisecond while editor wait for another event before triggering events
resizeTriggerDelay number 200 Delay in millisecond to wait before applying a resize action. If a other resize order is perform during the quiet period, resizeTimer is clear. Prevent resize storms.
triggers.exportContent string POINTER_UP Trigger for export action
triggers.addStrokes string POINTER_UP Trigger for addStrokes action. POINTER_UP, Action is triggered on every Pointer Up. This is the recommended mode. QUIET_PERIOD : Action is triggered after a quiet period in milli-seconds on every pointer up. I value is set to 2000 for example the recognition will be fired when user stop writing 2 seconds. This is the recommended mode for all REST recognitions to avoid excessive calls to the server.
renderingParams.stroker string quadratic Type of temporary (before stroke is send to the server) stroker. Actually only quadratic is implemented.
renderingParams.minHeight number 100 Minimal height of the editor
renderingParams.minWidth number 100 Minimal width of the editor

General iink parameters

When using iinkJS, the prefix recognitionParams.iink should be added.

export.jiix.strokes boolean false If true, JIIX export will include the detailed ink information.
export.jiix.style boolean false If true, JIIX export will include the styling information.
export.jiix.text.chars boolean false If true, JIIX export will include the detailed characters information.
export.jiix.text.words boolean true If true, JIIX export will include the detailed words information.
export.mathml.flavor string standard Defines the flavor you want for MathML export: possible values are standard and ms-office. The latter is recommended if you want to use exported MathML into Microsoft Office suite.

renderer.debug.draw-image-boxes boolean false If true, displays the bounding of the images.
