Indy to the left, Community to the right.

Time to either:

1. Stump up the money.

or

2. Do your own donkey work.

[richmond62]

I would recommend that the OP downloads a one-month trial version of LiveCode Indy so s/he can
see the functionality of the Digital Signature Widget, and then either buy a licence or use the
knowledge of that functionality to construct their own thing in the Community version.

Or, to put things really crudely:

Decide whether the time and effort involved in working out a home-grown digital signature "thing"
is worth more than the $499 license for LC Indy.

Oh, sorry, didn't know that this widget is LC indy and business only.

[richmond62]

I have a feeling . . .

. . . that if a stack is set up that allows the end-user to sign within the constraints of an image . . .

that image can be dumped as raw text into a field where it can be compared with similar text in another field.

Mind you, last night I had a very disturbed patch where I got into some dream/fantasy which involved vectorising
someone's bitmapped signature . . .

Hi

As Richmond mentioned earlier you can use an image control and the paint tools. You might find something useful in this lesson.

Of course what would be really lovely would be if one could trace one's raster signature
inwith LiveCode and end up with a vector.

The snag about this very clever stack is that it requires other components to be installed on the host system.

Yay:

As a signature will be in one colour that should "cut the mustard."

Teaching in 5 minutes, so will prob. not get to try out the thing myself until tomorrow.

You could start by looking at the pen and the brush tools.

With the image (fake field) for signatures having this sort of script:

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
   choose brush tool
   set the brushColor to red
end mouseEnter

Hi richmond and all,

I would probably try to escape purchasing indy version and try to do the donkey business myself then ):
I have tried richmond's way by using the pen and brush tool but seems like it is only doable using a computer.
Any guide on how i can start using the brush tools on mobile? Is there a brush tool for mobile ? Or maybe i would need to download an extension or something?

Thanks all for the help!

I'm afraid the "paint tools" are not available on the mobile platform.

[richmond62]

I'm afraid the "paint tools" are not available on the mobile platform.

Do you mean:

1. There is no way for an end-use to access the "paint tools" are not available on the mobile platform.

[If that is so, a programmer should be able to 'provide a brush' for end-users to paint with.]

2. Forget it 100%: paint tools are just NOT THERE in any way whatsoever on the mobile platform.

?

If the answer is #2 then my next question (think of me as a 4 year old) is the inevitable "Why?"

[Klaus]

The answer is 2. Ask the motherhsip for a reason!

[richmond62]

Mothership . . . are you listening?

Hmm . . . I wonder sometimes.

Hi all

I think the paint tools should work on mobile. I am checking in with the team but attached is a very simple stack that works for me on an iPhone and an Android phone.

I added the revCompatibilityBrushes1 stack as a substack as mentioned in the Dictionary entry for the brush property and it seems to work. There may well be some subtleties I am missing for this use case but the basics seem ok.

Wow!

[Klaus]

The dictionary is misleading, are ALL paint tools unavailable on mobile or not?

SPRAY -> mac, windows, linux
PENCIL -> mac, windows, linux
ERASER -> mac, windows, linux, ios, android
BRUSH -> mac, windows, linux, ios, android
BUCKET -> mac, windows, linux, ios, android
CURVE -> mac, windows, linux, ios, android

Hm...
