Example

// Add the new points to the Stroke we're working with
// or delete strokes if we are in erase mode.
function inkPresenterMouseMove(sender, args)
{
    var stylusPoints = args.getStylusPoints(sender);
    
    // Erase Mode?
    if (lastErasePoint != null)
    {
        // Connect the point from previous mouse event
        // to the current collection of stylus points.
        stylusPoints.insert(0, lastErasePoint);
        var hitStrokes = sender.strokes.hitTest(stylusPoints);

        // Remove the strokes that were intersected above.
        for (var i = 0; i < hitStrokes.Count; i++)
        {
          sender.strokes.remove(hitStrokes.getItem(i));
        }
        
        // Update the cached last erase point.
        lastErasePoint = stylusPoints.getItem(stylusPoints.count-1);
    }

    // Ink Mode?
    if (newStroke != null)
    {
        newStroke.stylusPoints.addStylusPoints(stylusPoints);
    }
