public enum class BarcodeAlignment : public System.Enum, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

Value	Member	Description
0	Near	Aligns the barcode to the near edge of BarcodeData.Bounds. This is the left edge (LogicalRectangle.Left) when this is a horizontal alignment or the top edge (LogicalRectangle.Top) when this is a vertical alignment. The barcode actual width or height is not used.
1	Center	Aligns the barcode to the center BarcodeData.Bounds. This is horizontal center (LogicalRectangle.Left + (LogicalRectangle.Width - "barcodeWidth") / 2) when this is a horizontal alignment or the vertical center (LogicalRectangle.Top + (LogicalRectangle.Height - "barcodeHeight") / 2) when this is a vertical alignment.
2	Far	Aligns the barcode to the far edge of BarcodeData.Bounds. This is the left edge (LogicalRectangle.Right - "barcodeWidth") if this is a horizontal alignment or the top edge (LogicalRectangle.Bottom - "barcodeHeight") if this is a vertical alignment.

Value

Description

0

Near

Aligns the barcode to the near edge of BarcodeData.Bounds. This is the left edge (LogicalRectangle.Left) when this is a horizontal alignment or the top edge (LogicalRectangle.Top) when this is a vertical alignment.

The barcode actual width or height is not used.

1

Center

Aligns the barcode to the center BarcodeData.Bounds. This is horizontal center (LogicalRectangle.Left + (LogicalRectangle.Width - "barcodeWidth") / 2) when this is a horizontal alignment or the vertical center (LogicalRectangle.Top + (LogicalRectangle.Height - "barcodeHeight") / 2) when this is a vertical alignment.

2

Far

Aligns the barcode to the far edge of BarcodeData.Bounds. This is the left edge (LogicalRectangle.Right - "barcodeWidth") if this is a horizontal alignment or the top edge (LogicalRectangle.Bottom - "barcodeHeight") if this is a vertical alignment.

When writing barcodes, the BarcodeWriter object may not use all the area defined by the output rectangle (BarcodeData.Bounds) since not all sizes can be used when writing a barcode and the value of the width and height of the bounds can have a special meaning. For more information, refer to Writing Barcodes - Bounds and XModule.

In cases where not all of the bounds is used, an alignment value can set to determine whether the result barcode is left, top, right, bottom or center aligned to the rectangle. For these, you can use the BarcodeAlignment enumeration to control how the barcode is written.

Alignment is only supported by 2D symbologies (Datamatrix, MicroPDF417, PDF417 and QR). BarcodeAlignment is used as the type for the following properties:

Note that the default values for all these properties is BarcodeAlignment.Near.

This example uses BarcodeAlignment to write a QR barcode at the 9 locations that can be set by changing the alignment. These locations are top/left, top/center, top/right, center/left, center/center, center/right, bottom/left, bottom/center and bottom/right.
