This Java Barcode Generator supports printing over 30 barcode types. In the following part, we will take Code 39 as example to show Java barcode generation, image format setting, resolution, rotation and other output methods. You can view Java barcode generator api in the below demo. For embedding java barcode with number digit or alphanumeric string value, try other barcode symbols.
OnBarcode also provides specific guide to encode barcode data, or customize barcode image:
- Java Barcode Data Encoding Tutorial - How to create GS1-Compatible Barcodes or encode Unicode into Java Barcodes
- Java Barcode Image Setting Tutorial - How to generate barcodes in Java and adjust barcode image properties
Example to Adjust Barcode Dimension in Java Class
import com.onbarcode.barcode.Code39;
public class tutorial {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Code39 barcode = new Code39();
barcode.setData("DATA");
barcode.setX(2);
barcode.setY(60);
barcode.setBarcodeWidth(150);
barcode.setBarcodeHeight(80);
barcode.setLeftMargin(0);
barcode.setRightMargin(0);
barcode.drawBarcode("C://java-code39.png");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Print Barcodes in Java Class in Png, Gif, Gif or EPS Image Formats
Code39 barcode = new Code39();
barcode.setData("DATA");
//Generate barcode in Gif image format
barcode.setImageFormat(0);
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39.gif");
//Generate barcode in JPEG image format
barcode.setImageFormat(1);
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39.jpg");
//Generate barcode in PNG image format
barcode.setImageFormat(2);
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code39.png");
//Generate barcode in EPS image format. The filename must ends with .eps
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-Code39.eps");
More Barcode Settings in Java Class
//Set barcode image bar alignment property
barcode.setBarAlignment(1);
//Customize barcode image resolution
barcode.setResolution(96);
//Set barcode rotation rate. 0 degree(0), 90 degree(1), 180 degree(2), 270 degree(3)
barcode.setRotate(0);
//Customize barcode human-readable text
barcode.setShowText(true);
barcode.setTextFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 11));
barcode.setTextMargin(8);
//Adjust barcode image color
barcode.setForeColor(Color.black);
barcode.setBackColor(Color.white);
barcode.setTextColor(Color.black);
barcode.drawBarcode("C://ob-code39.jpg");
More Barcode Generation Output Methods
// generate barcode and output to OutputStream object
public boolean drawBarcode(OutputStream outputStream) throws Exception
// generate barcode into a new BufferedImage object
public BufferedImage drawBarcode() throws Exception
public byte[] drawBarcodeToBytes() throws Exception
public boolean drawBarcode(String imageFile) throws Exception
// Generate barcode on Graphics2D object within certain area
public void drawBarcode(Graphics2D g, Rectangle2D rectangle) throws Exception
