Data Matrix Image Width Related Settings

W: the width of Data Matrix image (including quiet zone). Please see BarCodeWidth.

X: the width of Data Matrix module. Xmin=1 pixel. Please see X.

Q: the width of the quiet zone; Qmin=X. Please see Left & Right Margin.

Format Mode: the version of Data Matrix, ranging from 8X8 to 144X144. Please see Data Matrix Format Mode.

H: the height of Data Matrix image (including quiet zone). Please see BarCodeHeight.

Top & Bottom Margin: the height of the top & bottom quiet zone. Please see Top & Bottom Margin.

Format Mode: the version of Data Matrix, ranging from 8X8 to 144X144. Please see Data Matrix Format Mode.

C# Data Matrix barcode provides a set of barcode size settings to specify you Data Matrix barcodes. Please download C# barcode component and install, copy those following code to your Visual Studio:

DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();

barcode.DataMatrixDataMode = DataMatrixDataMode.Auto;

barcode.Data = "ONBARCODE";

UOM

UOM is short for Unit of Measure, which is the unit of meature for all size related settings in the library. C# Data Matrix barcode provides 3 options: Pixel, Cm, and Inch. The default is Pixel.

barcode.UOM = UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL;

Data Matrix Format Mode

DataMatrixFormatMode is the different size of Data Matrix. C# Data Matrix barcode provides 30 types version: 24 square ones with sizes from 10x10 to 144x144 (even values only) not including quiet zones; and 6 rectangular ones with sizes from 8x18 to 16x48 not including quiet zones. The default in C# Data Matrix barcode is DataMatrixFormatMode.Format_10X10.

barcode.DataMatrixVersion = DataMatrixVersion.Format_144X144;

Barcode Width & Height

BarcodeWidth is the Data Matrix barcode image width. The default in C# Data Matrix barcode is 0 (float).

BarcodeHeight is the Data Matrix barcode image height. The default in C# Data Matrix barcode is 0 (float).

barcode.BarcodeWidth = 0;

barcode.BarcodeHeigth =0;

Barcode Margin

BarcodeMargin is the white zone around the Data Matrix symbol. C# Data Matrix barcode provides 4 options: Left Margin, Right Margin, Top Margin and Bottom Margin. The default of these four margins are 0 (float).

barcode.TopMargin = 3;

barcode.BottomMargin = 3;

barcode.LeftMargin = 1;

barcode.RightMargin = 1;

X

X is the width and height of barcode bar module. The default in C# Data Matrix barcode is 2 (float).

barcode.X = 3;
