Description

This section describes a simple API to select and create glBarcode structures using a built-in barcode backend.

lgl_barcode_create ()

lglBarcode *        lgl_barcode_create                  (lglBarcodeType type,
                                                         gboolean text_flag,
                                                         gboolean checksum_flag,
                                                         gdouble w,
                                                         gdouble h,
                                                         const gchar *data);

Create a new barcode structure, encoding data with selected barcode type and characteristics.

Barcode dimensions (w and h) are in points ( 1 point = 1/72 inch ). If either w or h are zero, the barcode will be rendered in a nominal size appropriate for the barcode type and data. The actual size of the resulting barcode may also be limited by required tolerances of line sizes and spacing for the given barcode type.

type :

Barcode type selection (lglBarcodeType)

text_flag :

TRUE to show text, if supported by barcode type

checksum_flag :

TRUE to include checksum, if supported or optional for barcode type

w :

Suggested width of barcode

h :

Suggested height of barcode

data :

Data to encode into barcode

Returns :

A newly allocated lglBarcode structure. Use lgl_barcode_free() to free it.
