Ink layout analysis

1. A method, comprising:

accepting, at an input and display device, a plurality of ink strokes;

converting the plurality of ink strokes into machine input for analysis;

determining, using a processor, a grouping of the machine input, wherein the grouping is based upon identifying a geometric relationship between at least a sub-set of the machine input and identifying a syntactic grouping comprising a logical phrase of the at least a sub-set of the machine input, wherein the syntactic grouping overrides the geometrical grouping in the case of mismatch between the syntactic grouping and the geometrical grouping;

adjusting, according to the grouping, a layout of at least a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes corresponding to the at least a sub-set of the machine input; and

providing a display based on the grouping.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises grouping a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes not associated using a geometric relationship.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises de-grouping a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes grouped using a geometric relationship.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing comprises using a grammar check program to determine the syntactic grouping.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein:

the grammar check identifies ink strokes representing the logical phrase; and

the adjusting comprises grouping ink strokes included in the logical phrase in a paragraph.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing comprises using natural language processing to determine the syntactic grouping.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein:

the natural language processing identifies the logical phrase; and

the adjusting comprises grouping ink strokes included in the logical phrase in a paragraph.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing comprises identifying a predetermined expression within the plurality of ink strokes.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

identifying a predetermined expression includes matching ink strokes to a pattern template; and

the adjusting comprises formatting the ink strokes into the pattern template.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing a display of the plurality of ink strokes on the input and display device comprises displaying machine text representing the ink strokes.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

an input and display device;

a processor operatively coupled to the input and display device; and

a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

accept a plurality of ink strokes;

convert the plurality of ink strokes into machine input for analysis;

determine a grouping of the machine input, wherein the grouping is based upon identifying a geometric relationship between at least a sub-set of the machine input and identifying a syntactic grouping comprising a logical phrase of the at least a sub-set of the machine input, wherein the syntactic grouping overrides the geometrical grouping in the case of mismatch between the syntactic grouping and the geometrical grouping;

adjust, according to the grouping, a layout of at least a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes corresponding to the at least a sub-set of the machine input; and

provide a display based on the grouping.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein to adjust comprises grouping a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes not associated using a geometric relationship.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein to adjust comprises de-grouping a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes grouped using a geometric relationship.

14. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein to analyze comprises using a grammar check program to determine the syntactic grouping.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein:

the grammar check identifies ink strokes representing the logical phrase; and

to adjust comprises grouping ink strokes included in a text line of a paragraph.

16. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein to analyze comprises using natural language processing to determine the syntactic grouping.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein:

the natural language processing identifies the logical phrase; and

to adjust comprises grouping ink strokes included in the logical phrase in a paragraph.

18. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein to analyze comprises identifying a predetermined expression within the plurality of ink strokes.

19. The electronic device of claim 18 , wherein:

identifying a predetermined expression includes matching ink strokes to a pattern template; and

to adjust comprises formatting the ink strokes into the pattern template.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor of an electronic device and comprising:

code that accepts, from an input and display device, a plurality of ink strokes;

code that converts the plurality of ink strokes into machine input for analysis;

code that determines a grouping of the machine input, wherein the grouping is based upon identifying a geometric relationship between at least a sub-set of the machine input and identifying a syntactic grouping comprising a logical phrase of the at least a sub-set of the machine input, wherein the syntactic grouping overrides the geometrical grouping in the case of mismatch between the syntactic grouping and the geometrical grouping;

code that adjusts, according to the grouping, a layout of at least a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes corresponding to the at least a sub-set of the machine input; and

code that provides a display based on the grouping.
