Are there any drawing plugins for RoR or JQuery?

I am writing a web based application using Ruby on Rails. In one of the forms the users would need to draw something with a mouse and label the object with some text. In short, I need a

  1. Simple paint like application on which I can draw with a mouse.
  2. Write simple text.
  3. Store the painted diagram as a file for future editing.
  4. Export the pained diagram as a gif/jpeg image.

An example can be found at http://charles-harvey.co.uk/examples/paint/. Here are my questions:

  1. Are there any RoR plugins that allow me to add a paint like object to a form?
  2. If not are there any JQuery plugins that have a simple paint like application that I can include in rails?
  3. Any more pointers?

I can write a simple canvas application, but I am on a very tight deadline and prefer to use something that is already tested.

PS: I found a link for such an application but forgot to bookmark it.
