iPhone GS1-128/EAN-128 Barcodes Generator for iPhone Objective-C

Generate, Draw, Create, Print GS1-128/EAN-128 in Objective-C



Index
GS1-128/EAN-128 is an application standard of the GS1 implementation using the Code 128 barcode specification. The former correct name was UCC/EAN-128. Other no longer used names have included UCC-128 and EAN-128. GS1-128 uses a series of Application Identifiers to include additional data such as best before dates, batch numbers, quantities, weights and many other attributes needed by the user.
IPhone Barcode EAN 128 supports:
  • all 128 characters of ASCII
  • values 128-255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. There are referred to as extended ASCII.
  1. Create a barcode object
  2. Set barcode properties
  3. call drawWithView() method, to paint barcode on the canvas.

Sample Code:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    // Drawing code
    
    OBLinear *pLinear = [OBLinear new];
    [pLinear setNBarcodeType: OB_CODE128A];
    [pLinear setPDataMsg: [[NSString alloc] initWithString: (@"AB")]];
    //[pLinear setPSupData: [[NSString alloc] initWithString: (@"14562")]];
    [pLinear setFX: USER_DEF_BAR_WIDTH];
    [pLinear setFY: USER_DEF_BAR_HEIGHT];
    
    [pLinear setFLeftMargin: (USER_DEF_LEFT_MARGIN)];
    [pLinear setFRightMargin: (USER_DEF_RIGHT_MARGIN)];
    [pLinear setFTopMargin: (USER_DEF_TOP_MARGIN)];
    [pLinear setFBottomMargin: (USER_DEF_BOTTOM_MARGIN)];
    
    [pLinear setNRotate: (OB_Rotate0)];
    
    UIFont *pTextFont = [UIFont fontWithName: @"Arial" size: 8.0f];
    [pLinear setPTextFont: pTextFont];
    
    [pLinear drawWithView: (self)];
    [pLinear release];
    
}
