Generating Codabar barcode in Java class example:
Codabar barcode = new Codabar(); // Codabar data to encode /* Codabar Valid data char set: - (Dash), $ (Dollar), : (Colon), / (Slash), . (Point), + (Plus) 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 */ barcode.setData("112233445566"); // Codabar Start & Stop Char, Valid values are 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' barcode.setStartChar('A'); barcode.setStopChar('A'); // Codabar Unit of Measure, pixel, cm, or inch barcode.setUom(IBarcode.UOM_PIXEL); // Codabar bar module width (X) in pixel barcode.setX(3f); // Codabar bar module height (Y) in pixel barcode.setY(75f); // Codabar image margins barcode.setLeftMargin(0f); barcode.setRightMargin(0f); barcode.setTopMargin(0f); barcode.setBottomMargin(0f); // Codabar image resolution in dpi barcode.setResolution(72); // disply barcode encoding data below the barcode barcode.setShowText(true); // barcode encoding data font style barcode.setTextFont(new Font("Arial", 0, 12)); // space between barcode and barcode encoding data barcode.setTextMargin(6); // barcode displaying angle barcode.setRotate(IBarcode.ROTATE_0); /* to save into gif file, file name end with .gif to save into jpeg file, file name end with .jpg to save into eps file, call method drawBarcode2EPS and file name end with .eps */ barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\codabar.gif");
