Answer 1

There is no API for this. You would have to implement it yourself.

You can loop through the strokes collection returned from InkManager.GetStrokes. For each stroke create a new SVG path and add Bezier curves for each segment within the stroke. How to render ink data demonstrates the basic concept. You will need to convert it from JavaScript to C# and from targeting an HTML Canvas to generating SVG elements.
