How to Use Java Class to Set Colorful Barcodes
Top
If you don't want to create a typical black-and-white barcode image, OnBarcode Java Barcode Generator gives you the option to change barcode foreground color (bar color), background color, and the text color (color for the human readable text).
This can be easily achieved through some Java class coding. To start with, please create a new Java Class Project and add OnBarcode Java Library (jar) to your module libraries. Follow the sample code below, and you will create a colorful barcode!
If you're not sure what data to input, please refer to this online Java Barcode Data Encoding Tutorial, which explains GS1 data encoding (numbers / alphanumeric), Unicode, zip code for postal barcode, or other special character (ASCII) barcode input.
   Code128 barcode= new Code128();
   barcode.setData("Code128");

   //Customize Code 128 barcode image size
   barcode.setX(2);
   barcode.setY(60);
   barcode.setAutoResize(false);
   barcode.setShowText(true);

   //Ajust Code 128 barcode background color, bar color and text color
   barcode.setForeColor(Color.red);
   barcode.setBackColor(Color.green);
   barcode.setTextColor(Color.blue);

   //Barcode output method here
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://java-code128.gif");
How to Create Java Barcodes in Png, Gif, Jpeg Formats
Top
This Java Barcode Generator provides a PNG image format at default for generated barcodes. Of course, you can also opt to create barcode images in Gif and Jpeg file formats. This can easily be done through Java programming. The Java class sample code is provided here for you.
Below is the java sample code for encoding Interleaved 2 of 5. Users can compile more codings to adjust barcode sizing (width & height), file formats (bitmap, bmp, gif, jpg, tiff, png), check digit calculation, or other barcode value.
   Interleaved25 barcode = new Interleaved25();
   barcode.setData("123456");
   barcode.setX(2);

   //Set Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode image formats into Gif
   barcode.setImageFormat(0);
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://java-interleaved25.gif");

   /*
   //Set Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode image formats into Jpeg
   barcode.setImageFormat(1);
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://java-interleaved25.jpg");

   //Set Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode image formats into Png
   barcode.setImageFormat(2);
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://java-interleaved25.png");
   */
How to Adjust Java Barcode Image with Other Settings
Top
Besides barcode color and image format, OnBarcode Java SDK also provides functions to customize barcode rotation rate, image resolution, barcode bar alignment, Font Style & Size & Margin, etc. You can refer to the sample code blow for Java UPC-A barcoding and make adjustment if necessary.
   UPCA barcode = new UPCA();
   barcode.setData("55555999991");
   barcode.setX(1);
   
   //Set UPC-A barcode bar alignment to center (1)
   barcode.setBarAlignment(1);

   //Set true to display human-readable text for barcode
   barcode.setShowText(true);

   //Customize UPC-A barcode font style
   barcode.setTextFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD , 11));
   barcode.setTextMargin(8);

   //Generate and save UPC-A barcode to Hard Drive C
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://java-upca.gif");
