SigServer:SignatureXML

Root Element

Each signature is required to have a root element, <signature> in this case. The root tag accepts the attribute quality. It set's the quality when output as JPEG is selected. It may be set to anything between 0 - 100, default 90.

Example

<signature quality="90">
</signature>

The root element has two child elements, <variables> and <layout>.

The layout is contolled by a XML based scripting language. Each signature must have the root tag (<signature>). The <signature> tag has two subelements: <variables> and <layout>. When using JPEG as output the <signature> accepts the attribute quality. It may be any value between 1-100. Default value is 100 (Max).

The <variables> tag enables the user to define his own variables using a sub element called <set>. <set> has the following attributes, which both are required, <set name="testvar" value="test" />. To access the variable @ followed by the variable's name is used. A variable can only be accessed inside the curly brackets, i.e. Template:@testvar; will output test and just @testvar will output @testvar.

The default value for each tag (only text supported at the moment) may be overridden using the <default> tag. It is a sub tag of the <variables> tag. Example usage so override the default text color: <default element="text" name="color" value="#FFFFFF" />. That sets the text default color to white.

Variables

Inside this element you may define your own variables or override an elements default value.

User defined variables

To define a variable the <set> tag is used. It has the two attributes, name and value.

Example

<signature>
	<variables>
		<set name="foo" value="bar" />
	</variables>
</signature>

The example above defines the variable @foo which has the value bar. Note that the @ should not be included in the variable's name.

Override default value

NOTE: Only text element supported for now.

To override an element's default value the <default> tag is used. It has three attributes, element, name and value.

Example

<signature>
	<variables>
		<default element="text" name="face" value="courier" />
	</variables>
</signature>

The example sets the default attribute face of the element text to courier.

Layout

All text, shapes and images are controlled by sub elements to <layout>.

Image

The <image> tag allows the user to include an image, chosen from the collection in the library section.

Attribute	Description	Values	Default
src	Sets which image that should be included	Any title available in the library	none
position	Sets the included image's position	x-posxy-pos	0x0
size	Sets the included image's size	widthxheight	Image's own size

Shape

Attribute	Description	Values	Default
type	Defines the type of shape.	rectangle, ellipse or line	none
position	Sets the shape's position.	x-posxy-pos	0x0
size	Sets the shape's size.	widthxheight	10x10
color	Sets the shape's color.	#<hex> or R, G, B	#000000
alpha	Sets the shape's opacity. Doesn't work very well with ellipses	1-100	100
hollow	Sets whether the shape should be hollow or not.	true or false	true
thickness	Sets the border's thickness. Works on lines and hollow shapes.	1-10	1
