Ink Serialized Format or ISF is a Microsoft format to store written ink information.The format is mainly used for mobile devices like PDA's,tablet PC's and UMPC's to store data entered with a stylus.

An ink object is simply a sequence of strokes, where each stroke is comprised of a sequence of points, and the points are X, and Y coordinates. Many of the new mobile devices can also provide information such as pressure, and angle. In addition can be used to store custom information along with the ink data.
