Forms - Signature Pad
Created by: Lester Caine, Last modification: 23 July 2018
The original Signature-pad is no longer maintained, so while it still works, it may fail at some time due to changes in other areasof the browser infrastructure. https://github.com/thread-pond/signature-pad still documents this version of the pad.
A similar project is currently being maintained at https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad
Tis can be tested via the demo at http://szimek.github.io/signature_pad/
One of the advantages of the newer component is that it has facilities to trim the white space around the signature which makes it easier to maintain a uniform size of signature stored internally.
Other options on the toolbox include jSignature which still supports IE7 & 8 so is a little archaic today.
