Property Value

A RasterColor that specifies the barcode foreground (bars or symbol) color when writing barcodes. Default value is "Black" (RGB of #000000).

LEADTOOLS will use ForeColor and BackColor when drawing the new barcode to the image and no special processing is performed. Note that you can specify a transparent color for BackColor to "overlay" the barcode on top of the background of the image. This however, is not recommended.

This example writes a UPC-A barcode to an image with specific colors.
