Why

On desktop, Compose gets mouse positions from AWT, which only reports whole logical pixels. A slow stroke passes through every pixel it crosses, and each one becomes a curve point, so the line comes out as a wobbly staircase.

What

• SignaturePad takes a new minPointDistance: Dp parameter. Moves closer than that to the last point drawn are skipped, including Android's batched in-between moves. When a stroke ends, the most recent skipped move is still drawn, so the stroke ends where the pointer lifted. That holds whether the pointer lifts, the drag is cancelled, another finger takes over, or the pad is disabled. A move that crosses the pad's edge is never skipped, so the stroke still ends at the edge and a new one starts where the pointer comes back.
• The default is SignaturePadDefaults.minPointDistance: 2.dp on the JVM, 0.dp on Android, iOS and web. These are the library's first platform-specific files: an internal expect val with one actual each in androidMain, jvmMain, webMain and iosMain.
• The old SignaturePad signature is kept as a hidden deprecated overload, so apps built against 2.4.0 still link.
• README and CLAUDE.md are updated.

The Tao backend in Nucleus already delivers sub-pixel positions with its own 1 dp deadband, so a 2.dp filter barely changes anything there.

Open question: web defaults to 0.dp. If Compose web gets mouse positions in whole CSS pixels, it has the same problem and should probably use 2.dp too.

Testing

• New MinPointDistanceTest sends a slow drag of 1-pixel steps. It checks that 2.dp gives fewer than half as many curves as 0.dp, that the distance scales with density, and that the stroke still ends where the pointer lifted. Removing the filter, or the step that draws the last skipped move, each makes the matching tests fail. shortMovesAcrossTheEdge_endTheStrokeThere leaves the pad and comes back in moves under 2.dp, and fails without the edge rule.
• Rebased onto master after Publish the finished strokes as an immutable Signature #29 and Make SignaturePadStateImpl safe to call from any thread #30. :signaturepad:allTests (JVM, JS, Wasm), :signaturepad:build, :demo:assemble and :androidDemo:assembleDebug pass, including the existing tests, which now run with the 2.dp default. iOS tests run in CI.
• The Android, JS, WasmJS, iOS simulator and desktop demo targets compile.
• Not yet tried by hand with a real mouse in the desktop demo.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a minPointDistance option to control spacing between drawn points. It defaults to 2.dp on desktop and 0.dp on other platforms.
  • The final pointer position is preserved when a stroke ends, even if the last move falls below the minimum distance.
• Documentation
  • Documented the option, its platform-specific defaults, and how short moves are handled.

📝 Walkthrough

SignaturePad adds minPointDistance to filter nearby pointer moves. The default is 2.dp on JVM and 0.dp on Android, iOS, and web. A held move is submitted when a stroke ends.

Moves that cross the pad boundary are forwarded. A hidden deprecated overload retains the previous signature. JVM tests cover filtering, density, edge crossings, defaults, and the pointer-lift endpoint. The README and API documentation describe the option and defaults.

point transitions from inside the pad bounds to outside them, so the exit
reaches SignaturePadStateImpl; preserve the existing filtering behavior for
other moves.
