[Gnumed-devel] Latex template incorporating digitized signature

[Busser, Jim]

The attached uses a .png of my signature which I keep stored in the root 
directory/file

        /gnumed/signature.png

same as gnumedlogo.png which avoids my having to copy it into each new client.

However, this only works for me -- despite that the Tex package

        includegraphics

requires absolute file specifications -- because I am running GNUmed from my 
laptop as a single user.


Notice, in the attached example (in which I addressed the letter on Kirk to 
myself) that I had *logged in* to GNUmed as clinician Leonard McCoy, despite 
which the document bears my signature.

In order to be able to incorporate (support) a distinct per-user signature in a 
multiuser GNUmed praxis, one must:

- create and choose a different template per-clinician (in order that each 
template specifies a different signature absolute reference), or

- (at some future time) -- if it was feasible for GNUmed -- to provide a 
placeholders that can support a user-based file reference, either to a file 
accessible from the server or maybe a signature image document imported into 
the GNUmed record of this user.

Already, a user must be a person within GNUmed to enable to specify them as the 
current provider, and optionally their credentials, via placeholders.

I was wondering whether the clinician could import a signature (e.g. png) as a 
document, and then somehow reference the document via a placeholder. This might 
require, in addition to placeholders, a way to more easily identify which 
document is intended, for example by adding (in the Documents plug, in the 
"Part Actions" contextual menu) some additional submenu item or an expansion to 
what is shown among the

        Sign / Edit properties

that could allow the user to copy / paste a reference to the desired blob in 
GNUmed?
