PREREQUISITES

        GDlib for perl;
        JSON::Parse;

PURPOSE

Create a Perl version of Thomas Bradley's signature-to-image.php for a client.

METHODS

sig2png ( STR [, options ] )

Converts a json string to a PNG image and returns an array containing the image as a binary string followed by "success" or an empty image string followed by an error message.

Options:

        multiplier => #  - Multiple image size by # pixels (default 5)
        penwidth => #  - Width in pixels of each vector to be drawn (will be multiplied by C<multiplier>) (default 2).
        xmax => #  - maximum width in pixels of the generated image (will be multiplied by C<multiplier>) (default 198).
        ymax => #  - maximum height in pixels of the generated image (will be multiplied by C<multiplier>) (default 55).
        pen_color => "r#,g#,b#"  - RGB values (0-255) for color to draw the signature in (default "20,83,148").
        background_color => "r#,g#,b#"  - RGB values (0-255) for background color (default "255,255,255").
