A system and method for compressing stroke-based handwritten characters and line drawings (10), in which each stroke is represented as at least one straight or curved line defined by coordinates, analysing the coordinates and determining a grid (12) for storing the coordinates, the grid (12) having a plurality of grid lines along each axis, selecting the spacing of the grid lines along at least one axis based on the analysis of the coordinates such that the grid lines are not evenly spaced along the one axis, and producing data representing said grid and said lines, wherein the coordinates of each line is represented in the data by corresponding points on the grid (12).
