Canvas input for mouse / finger input of data

• Requires: Signature Pad

This plug-in makes the Signature Pad library available for use as an Editor field. This allows a user to draw on a canvas using their mouse, finger or other input (depending on their computer).

The data is stored as a data URL, which can then be stored in a database as a string. It also makes it easy to show the resulting image in a DataTable using an img tag.
