STU
Differences between STU and Signature SDKs
The main differences between the two SDKs are as follows:
High level Signature SDK
- Simplifies signature capture with a range of Wacom tablets including STU and DTU
- Signature data is saved in an undisclosed proprietary format and can be used with other Wacom signature products such as the full version of SignatureScope (only issued to qualified Forensic Document Examiners or those undertaking forensic research) and the Verification SDK
- Signature image creation available in the SDK
- User Interface and signature data format is defined by the SDK
- It is not possible to use more than one tablet with the Signature SDK as it has no mechanism for selecting the device
- Signatures are rendered using Wacom Ink Layer Language (WILL) for a high quality digital pen and ink experience
Low level STU SDK
- Used for signature capture with the range of STU tablets only
- Developer is free to save the signature data in any format but this will not be compatible with the undisclosed Signature SDK data
- User Interface and signature data format are open to the developer
- Signature image must be created by the developer from the pen data values
