Signature capture in forms

Has signature capture in forms been implemented yet?  I was not able to find any data suggesting it was. 

Example: A patient or doctor signs a form with a stylus on a wacom or tablet.  The signature is unique for that form and is not a copy of one that is scanned or stored in the DB.

If not I was wondering if the Drawbox plugin would be useful for the OEMR environment.

Some of the info:

"DrawBox is a jQuery plug-in that allows you to create a very simple canvas for drawing.

The plug-in was originally conceived and designed to collect signatures via an iPad as well as the web.  The plug-in has started to grow iand now includes a color selection option.

The raw SVG data for the drawing is stored in a hidden input element which is named %ID%-data, where %ID% is the ID of the canvas element that DrawBox was attached.

If you’re unfortunate enough to have to support this plug-in in Internet Explorer, please use explorercanvas (included in the excanvas_r3 directory) http://code.google.com/p/explorercanvas/ "
