Is there any way that a letter can be broken down into coordinate values so
that it can be determined if the letter is to big, small, wide or thin?
Also, I was curious if there was a way that stroke information could be
broken down so that if you were writing a letter you could determine if they
were writing the letter correctly i.e. if they were writing the letter 'i'
you would be able to tell they did a single stroke for the base of the letter
and a dot for the 'i' or if they were writing the letter 'a' they were to
have written the letter around. down and a tail on the end, something to that
effect?

Comments? Examples would be very helpful.

I am using C# as a dev language since I am sure this will be a question.

Actually the recognizer doesn't identify any segment smaller than a word.

The best you can do is use InkAnalyzer to get an AnalysisRegion for a
recognized ContextNode and from that, call its GetRegionScans method to get
an array of rectangles that make up the various "islands" of ink. But this
won't work for cursive and it will find two scans for a letter such as a
lowercase i. In short, it won't do what you want it to do.

In order to get recognition results at the letter-level you need to collect
it that way into separate boxes. This is how the input panel does it.
