Android: digital signature using Bezier

Question

I am trying two draw digital signature using Bezier as show in above image.when i touch and try to draw line then the result is dot line but not getting continuous line. Simple signature done by using simple signature but I want to create more a smooth curve using Bezier with touch pressure. tried with this link

Answer 3

Change draw method in Bezier class to:

public void draw(Canvas canvas, Paint paint, float startWidth, float endWidth) {
    float originalWidth = paint.getStrokeWidth();
    float widthDelta = endWidth - startWidth;

    for (int i = 0; i < drawSteps; i++) {
        float t = ((float) i) / drawSteps;
        float tt = t * t;
        float ttt = tt * t;
        float u = 1 - t;
        float uu = u * u;
        float uuu = uu * u;

        float x = uuu * startPoint.x;
        x += 3 * uu * t * getControlPointOne().x;
        x += 3 * u * tt * getControlPointTwo().x;
        x += ttt * endPoint.x;

        float y = uuu * startPoint.y;
        y += 3 * uu * t * getControlPointOne().y;
        y += 3 * u * tt * getControlPointTwo().y;
        y += ttt * endPoint.y;

        paint.setStrokeWidth(startWidth + ttt * widthDelta);
        canvas.drawPoint(x, y, paint);
    }

    paint.setStrokeWidth(originalWidth);
}

Answer 4

You need to see how many points are drawn in Bezier class and add them up.

From your code: You are collecting 4 points and draw a Bezier curve over them. This means that the algorithm - by design - will miss half of the sampled points.

Other options: 1. Create your own Bezier curve or lower order (say - order 3) - and then you'll miss only 1/3 of the points. This kinda renders the issue useless, as you want to conserve less data than sampled. 2. Create a high order Bezier curve that can approximate the whole signature.

You can, however, try to figure out what points you would like to select in order to get a Bezier curve which is closer to the signature : select the top of the letter 'l' as an end point of one Bezier curve and the start of another will yield better results.
