Hi Tom and Aaron,

I'm reaching out to share an idea I had, which you can use to achieve your goal until there is an official feature available.  Find the demo attached, and here's runtime screenshots:

Using the SignaturePad's signature

Or using a png file's signature

Here's how it works... after loading image data stream (from the SignaturePad or png file), my GetVectorFromSignatureImage method will

1. Process the image to have binary pixel positions (on/off) based on the lines
2. Generate a collection of strokes (List<List<SKPoint>>) by grouping the pixels into strokes using a neighbor-fill algorithm
3. That strokes collection is serialized into the data format you want and returns the string.

For now, I have two format options available: Svg or Custom (what Aaron wanted).

While this is just a proof of concept to use as a temporary holdover, it is a good headstart on achieving your goal.

Further Exploration

This is not the same thing as using that data string to "replay" the signature. This would still require a new feature to programmatically load/save the SKPath information directly in/out of the RadSignatureView. You can however directly access the internal SKCanvasView of the RadSignaturePad through the Content property. With this, you can hook into the PaintSurface event, and treat the canvas like you would any other SK canvas.

First, in the SignaturePad's loaded event handler, access the SKCanvasView and subsacribe to the PaintSurface event

Then, inside the PaintSurface event handler is where you can do the custom signature re-draw. 

This is something that you can pursue separately if you must be able to 'replay' a signature. Otherwise, I would recommend just using a byte column in the database, this allows the greatest level of cross platform compatibility as you only need to show an image instead.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for your feedback. I can assure you we keep an eye on this item and track its demand. 

As for why this feature was not implemented when initially the control was released - we didn't consider providing this kind of data. The focus was on image export and the related features.
