# How to: Rotate Ink
## Example  
 The following example copies the ink from an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.InkCanvas> to a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas> that contains an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.InkPresenter>.  When the application copies the ink, it also rotates the ink 90 degrees clockwise.

## Example  
 The following example is a custom <xref:System.Windows.Documents.Adorner> that rotates the strokes on an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.InkPresenter>.  
  
 [!code-csharp[AdornerForStrokes#1](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/AdornerForStrokes/CSharp/RotatingAdornerForStrokes.cs#1)]
 [!code-vb[AdornerForStrokes#1](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/AdornerForStrokes/VisualBasic/RotatingAdornerForStrokes.vb#1)]  
  
 The following example is a [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] file that defines an <xref:System.Windows.Controls.InkPresenter> and populates it with ink. The `Window_Loaded` event handler adds the custom adorner to the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.InkPresenter>.
