#include "ltbar.h"

L_LTBAR_API L_INT L_BarCodeGetDuplicated(pBarCodeDataItem)

pBARCODEDATA pBarCodeDataItem;

/* pointer to a BARCODEDATA structure */

Returns the index of the first barcode that is a duplicate of the specified barcode.

Parameter

Description

pBarCodeDataItem

Pointer to the BARCODEDATA structure that contains barcode information.

Returns

>= 0

The index of the duplicated barcode.

< 0

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

LEADTOOLS provides a number of functions to let you work with duplicated barcodes. They let you:

To determine whether a barcode is duplicated, use the L_BarCodeIsDuplicated function. If a barcode is duplicated, L_BarCodeGetDuplicated will return the index of the first barcode in the array after the specified barcode, which is a duplicate of the specified barcode.

If you know the index of a barcode within an array, you can get the index of the first duplicate of the specified barcode using L_BarCodeGetFirstDuplicated. Use the L_BarCodeGetNextDuplicated to get the next instance of a duplicated barcode.

Although no function is included to tell you the number of different sets of barcodes that are duplicated, you can easily program this by using the following code:

L_INT i, j, nCount;
L_BOOL * pbVisited = (L_BOOL *)malloc(pBarCodeData->nTotalCount*sizeof(L_BOOL));
memset(pbVisited, 0, pBarCodeData->nTotalCount*sizeof(L_BOOL));
nCount = 0;
for (i=0; i<pBarCodeData->nTotalCount; i++)
{
if(pbVisited[i])
  continue;
pbVisited[i] = TRUE;
nCount++;
j = i;
while(pBarCodeData[j].nIndexDuplicate != -1)
{
  j = pBarCodeData[j].nIndexDuplicate;
  pbVisited[j] = TRUE;
}
}
free(pbVisited);

After this code is executed, nCount will contain the number of different sets of barcodes.
