InlineSignatureCapture

Inline Signature Capture control allows app to capture user's signature. The captured signature is kept in png format binary and must be persisted by the apps to their back end system.

Inline Signature Capture does not allow loading or modifying a previously captured signature. Users must always sign a new signature to replace existing one. App should use Image Collection for displaying an existing signature image.
