Why

An app can't tell when the signature changes. To save it as it's drawn, rather than on a submit button, an app has to watch the pad's pointer events itself and guess when the pad has finished a stroke. It also has to track the pad's size to export at that size, and guard against a clear() that lands while an export is reading the state.

What

• SignaturePadState.signature holds the finished strokes as an immutable Signature. It gets a new value each time a stroke ends, and when the signature is cleared, resized or restored. Moves during a stroke, a stroke that draws nothing, and clearing or resizing an empty pad keep the same value. It's snapshot state, so it can be read in composition or watched with snapshotFlow, like TextFieldState.text. A composable that reads it isn't recomposed on each move.
• Signature has isEmpty, width and height (0 when it's empty), drawOnBitmap (as on the state) and toImageBitmap, which draws it at the pad's size, or returns null when it's empty. An empty signature has no size: laying out or resizing an empty pad doesn't publish a new value, so a size kept in it would be stale. A Signature never changes, so it can be exported off the main thread.
• Built on Make SignaturePadStateImpl safe to call from any thread #30's state: curves now holds the finished strokes as the Signature itself, next to the stroke in progress. setCurves, which runs under the lock, builds a new Signature only when the finished strokes change, with the pad's size at that moment. signature reads it through the derived state the pad's cache of finished strokes already uses.
• The state's own drawOnBitmap goes through Signature.drawOnBitmap. drawCurves and penPaint moved to Bezier.kt so both can use them.
• signature has a default on the interface, so other SignaturePadState implementations still compile and link. It always returns an empty signature, so watching it never sees a change. That matches how the library already treats other implementations: the saver and the pad's cache only support SignaturePadStateImpl.
• README and CLAUDE.md are updated. The README's autosave example exports on Dispatchers.Default, and skips an empty signature so a new pad doesn't overwrite a saved one.

Testing

• SignatureTest (common) checks when a new value is published, that an old one never changes, the signature's size, and that moves during a stroke don't invalidate a reader of signature. That last test fails if signature reads the state without the derived state.
• SignatureExportTest checks the size and ink of toImageBitmap.
• ConcurrencyTest also exports signature on its own thread while input, resizing and drawing run on others.
• :signaturepad:allTests (JVM, JS, Wasm), :signaturepad:build, :demo:assemble and :androidDemo:assembleDebug pass on Linux. iOS tests weren't run locally; CI runs them on macOS.
• :benchmark:benchmark, master → this branch: everything is within error except capturing a 250-curve signature, 5% (0.6µs) slower.
• The macrobenchmark on a device hasn't been run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added access to a stable snapshot of completed signature strokes, with bitmap export at the pad’s dimensions or drawing scaled to a supplied bitmap.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance for observing and saving signatures as they’re drawn, including how empty signatures and clearing are handled.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds an immutable Signature value for finished strokes and pad dimensions. SignaturePadState publishes that value and uses it for bitmap export. The README and architecture documentation describe the API and state model, and tests cover publication, rendering, resizing, and concurrent export.

Changes: Signature publication and export

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Signature value and bitmap rendering signaturepad/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/seanproctor/signaturepad/Signature.kt, signaturepad/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/seanproctor/signaturepad/Bezier.kt	Signature stores finished curves and pad dimensions. It can draw scaled curves onto a bitmap or return a pad-sized bitmap, and Bezier.kt adds drawing helpers.
Pad state publication and export signaturepad/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/seanproctor/signaturepad/SignaturePadState.kt, README.md, CLAUDE.md	SignaturePadState exposes the finished Signature and delegates bitmap export to it. The documentation describes publication timing, rendering, and saving signatures.
Publication and export tests signaturepad/src/commonTest/kotlin/com/seanproctor/signaturepad/SignatureTest.kt, signaturepad/src/jvmTest/kotlin/com/seanproctor/signaturepad/ConcurrencyTest.kt, signaturepad/src/jvmTest/kotlin/com/seanproctor/signaturepad/SignatureExportTest.kt	Tests check signature publication and identity, changes after clear, resize, and restore, bitmap output, and concurrent export.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 55a6e

Export can fail for a signature drawn before the pad receives its first size. This is a narrow case, but the first-layout path should repair the signature before merging.

@Bayram-MKININI, thanks for this. #30 just landed and rewrote the state this PR builds on, so I've rebased your branch onto master and force-pushed it. Your two commits are still yours. I resolved the conflicts in the first one and added one commit on top.

What changed:

• Rebuilt on Make SignaturePadStateImpl safe to call from any thread #30's state. Make SignaturePadStateImpl safe to call from any thread #30 made SignaturePadStateImpl safe to call from any thread. It keeps the finished strokes and the stroke in progress as immutable persistent lists, behind a lock. The finished state and the derived strokeCurveCount from this PR would have duplicated that, so the finished strokes are now kept as the Signature itself, inside the same state. setCurves, which runs under the lock, builds a new Signature only when the finished strokes change, with the pad's size at that moment. signature reads it through the derived state the pad's cache uses, so a composable that reads it isn't recomposed on each move.
• Signature.width and height are public, 0 when it's empty, so an app can size its own bitmap without tracking the pad.
• README example: it exports on Dispatchers.Default, since the text says that's what Signature is for, and it skips an empty signature so a new pad doesn't overwrite a saved one. It also says that clearing gives an empty signature.
• Interface default: I kept it, for the reasons in your open question, and its KDoc now says watching it never sees a change.
• Tests: added ones for the signature's size, for moves not invalidating readers, and for exporting it from another thread in ConcurrencyTest.

The description is updated to match. If you had local commits on the old branch, reset to the new one before pushing again.

republish any finished strokes using the newly established dimensions, rather
than leaving a non-empty signature at 0 × 0. Preserve the existing behavior when
there are no finished strokes.
