# init(ink:path:transform:mask:)

Creates a stroke with the line properties, path, transform, and mask that you specify.

## Declaration

```swift
init(ink: PKInk, path: PKStrokePath, transform: CGAffineTransform = .identity, mask: UIBezierPath? = nil)
```

## Parameters

- `ink`: The doc://com.apple.pencilkit/documentation/PencilKit/PKInk-swift.struct the framework uses to render this stroke.
- `path`: The B-spline path that describes this stroke.
- `transform`: The doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CGAffineTransform to apply to this stroke.
- `mask`: The pretransform mask the framework uses to clip the rendering of the stroke.
