Remarks

Note: In LEADTOOLS for Windows Runtime, the equivalent to this class is the IBarcodeWriteOptions interface.

The BarcodeWriter class contains the BarcodeWriter.WriteBarcode method which is used to write a barcode to an image. You must create an instance of BarcodeWriter, fill its members with the barcode properties and pass it to this method.

The BarcodeWriteOptions class and its derived types is used to control the options used when writing a barcode using LEADTOOLS. You can set the options in two ways:

The BarcodeWriter class contains default options for each barcode symbology (or group of common symbologies). These options can be retrieved using the BarcodeWriter.GetDefaultOptions method passing the symbology of interest. You can then change members of the returned BarcodeWriteOptions (or after casting it to the appropriate derived class).

You can also create an instance of one of the derived BarcodeWriteOptions classes and use it directly in the BarcodeWriter.WriteBarcode method which accepts the options as an input parameter.

The BarcodeWriteOptions contains the following members and features:

Member Description
BarcodeWriteOptions.ForeColor

Controls the barcode foreground color (color of the bars or symbols) to use when writing a barcode to an image.
BarcodeWriteOptions.BackColor

Controls the barcode background color (color of the spaces) to use when writing a barcode to an image.
BarcodeWriteOptions.Load and BarcodeWriteOptions.Save

Can be used to save or load the options to/from an XML file or stream.
BarcodeWriteOptions.GetSupportedSymbologies and BarcodeWriteOptions.IsSupportedSymbology

Can be used to get all the BarcodeSymbology's supported by this BarcodeWriteOptions type or to check when a particular symbology is supported.

BarcodeWriteOptions is an abstract class and cannot be created directly, instead create one of the these derived classes:

Write options class Descriptions
