Examples #

Converting to JPEG or other format that doesn’t support alpha channels #

GraffitiSignature returns PNG-formatted data where the actual drawing is placed in a transparent layer. Due to this, if you try to convert directly to a JPEG or other format that doesn’t support alpha channels, you’ll end up with the drawing on a black background. Unless you’ve changed the PenColor, you’ll end up with a black signature on a black background. The following code in the SignatureChanged event will create a non-transparent version of the signature:

var pToJPEG as new Picture( me.SignatureImage.Width, me.SignatureImage.Height )
var g as Graphics = pToJPEG.Graphics
 
g.DrawingColor = &cFFFFFF
g.FillRectangle( 0, 0, g.Width, g.Height )
 
g.DrawPicture( me.SignatureImage, 0, 0 )
 
var dataJPEG as String = pToJPEG.ToData(Picture.Formats.JPEG, 50)
