C# EAN-13 Generator Introduction

Top
EAN-13, also known as European Article Number 13, UPC-13, GTIN-13, GS1-13, EAN/UCC-13, is the standard barcode version of European Article Number.
C# EAN-13 Generator is one of the functions in OnBarcode's
Barcode for .NET Generation Controls, which supports generating & printing EAN-13 and 20+ other linear & 2D bar codes for C# applications.
OnBarcode C# Barcode Generator makes it easy to generate, create EAN-13 and other linear & 2d barcodes in Microsoft Word. Here are some detailed tutorials for C# EAN-13 generation and data encoding, size & image setting.
EAN-13 Generator library, SDK & application
OnBarcode provides several
EAN-13 Generator components and software, including
.NET EAN-13,
Java EAN-13,
VB.NET EAN-13,
ASP.NET EAN-13,
EAN-13 Generator.
This document is providing a detailed C# source code about generating EAN-13 barcodes in C# class using
Barcode for C# generation component. Complete EAN-13 custmoization settings is included in
C# EAN-13 generation guide.

Creating EAN-13 barcode in C# class example:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using OnBarcode.Barcode;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Drawing;
Linear ean13 = new Linear();
// Barcode data to encode
ean13.Data = "012345678912";
// Barcode symbology type
//ean13.Type = BarcodeType.EAN13;
ean13.Type = BarcodeType.EAN13_2;
// This property is not working in EAN-13.
// According to EAN 13 specification, our library will always encode checksum for you.
ean13.AddCheckSum = true;
/*
EAN 13 Supplement 2, 5 digits
*/
// EAN-13 supplement data, 2 digits or 5 digits
ean13.SupData = "12";
// This is a multiplicator of the bar height (Y); The default is 0.8 (80%).
ean13.SupHeight = 0.8f;
// The separation between the barcode and the supplement barcode. Default is 15 pixel.
ean13.SupSpace = 15;
/*
* Barcode Image Related Settings
*/
// Unit of meature for all size related setting in the library.
ean13.UOM = UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL;
// Bar module width (X), default is 1 pixel;
ean13.X = 1;
// Bar module height (Y), default is 60 pixel;
ean13.Y = 60;
// Barcode image left, right, top, bottom margins. Defaults are 0.
ean13.LeftMargin = 0;
ean13.RightMargin = 0;
ean13.TopMargin = 0;
ean13.BottomMargin = 0;
// Image resolution in dpi, default is 72 dpi.
ean13.Resolution = 72;
// Created barcode orientation.
//4 options are: facing left, facing right, facing bottom, and facing top
ean13.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0;
/*
* Linear barcodes human readable text styles
*/
// Display human readable text under the barcode
ean13.ShowText = true;
// Display checksum digit at the end of barcode data.
ean13.ShowCheckSumChar = true;
// Human readable text font size, font family and style
ean13.TextFont = new Font("Arial", 9f, FontStyle.Regular);
// Space between barcode and text. Default is 6 pixel.
ean13.TextMargin = 6;
// Generate EAN-13 and encode barcode to gif format
ean13.Format = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif;
ean13.drawBarcode("C:\\ean13.gif");
/*
You can also call other drawing methods to generate barcodes
public void drawBarcode(Graphics graphics);
public void drawBarcode(string filename);
public Bitmap drawBarcode();
public void drawBarcode(Stream stream);
