Introduction
The AA Signature View is a versatile iOS library that allows users to capture and draw signatures on their devices. It provides an easy-to-use interface for capturing, saving, and exporting signature images.
Installation
To use AA Signature View in your iOS application, follow these steps:
- Install AA Signature View using CocoaPods by adding the following line to your Podfile:
- Run
pod install
command in your terminal to install the pod. - Import AA Signature View into your project:
pod 'AASignatureView'
#import <AASignatureView/AASignatureView.h>
Usage
1. Creating an Instance of AA Signature View
To begin using AA Signature View, create an instance of it in your view controller.
// Swift
let signatureView = AASignatureView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 200))
// Objective-C
AASignatureView *signatureView = [[AASignatureView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 200)];
2. Customizing Signature View
You can customize the appearance and behavior of the signature view by modifying its properties:
// Set background color
signatureView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
// Set stroke color and thickness
signatureView.strokeColor = UIColor.black
signatureView.strokeWidth = 2.0
3. Managing User Interaction
You can enable or disable user interaction with the signature view:
// Enable user interaction
signatureView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
// Disable user interaction
signatureView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
4. Capturing Signature
You can capture the user’s signature as an image for further processing or displaying:
// Get signature image
let signatureImage = signatureView.getSignatureImage()
// Save signature image to photo library
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(signatureImage, self, #selector(image(_:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:)), nil)
Customizations
AA Signature View provides several customization options to tailor the signature view to your application’s needs:
1. Stroke Color and Thickness

- backgroundColor: The background color of the signature view. Default is white.
3. Limiting Signature Area
You can limit the drawing area to a specific region of the signature view:
- shouldCropSignature: When set to true, it crops the signature image to remove empty space around the drawn signature. Default is true.
