class BarcodeReadOptions(BarcodeOptions): 
Remarks

The BarcodeReader class contains multiple methods to read a single or multiple barcodes from an image ( Refer to the BarcodeReader.ReadBarcode and BarcodeReader.ReadBarcodes methods). For each barcode found, BarcodeReader will return an instance of BarcodeData populated with the data found in the barcode.

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

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

You can also create an instance of one of the derived BarcodeReadOptions classes and use it directly in the BarcodeReader.ReadBarcode and BarcodeReader.ReadBarcodes methods that accepts a single or array of options as an input parameter.

The BarcodeReadOptions contains the following members and features:

Member Description
BarcodeReadOptions.ForeColor

Controls the barcode foreground color (color of the bars or symbols) to use when reading a barcode from a colored image.

BarcodeReadOptions.BackColor

Controls the barcode background color (color of the spaces) to use when reading a barcode from a colored image.

BarcodeReadOptions.Load and BarcodeReadOptions.Save

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

BarcodeReadOptions.GetSupportedSymbologies and BarcodeReadOptions.IsSupportedSymbology

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

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

Read options class Descriptions
OneDBarcodeReadOptions

Standard 1D linear barcode options. Used when reading any of the following symbologies: EAN13, EAN8, UPCA, UPCE, Code3Of9, Code128, CodeInterleaved2Of5, Codabar, UCCEAN128, Code93, EANEXT5, EANEXT2, MSI, Code11, CodeStandard2Of5, GS1Databar, GS1DatabarLimited or GS1DatabarExpanded

GS1DatabarStackedBarcodeReadOptions

GS1 Databar stacked barcode options. Used when reading GS1DatabarStacked or GS1DatabarExpandedStacked symbologies

FourStateBarcodeReadOptions

4-State barcode options. Used when reading AustralianPost4State, RoyalMail4State or USPS4State symbologies

PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions

POSTNET/Planet barcode options. Used when reading PostNet or Planet symbologies

PatchCodeBarcodeReadOptions

Patch code barcode options. Used when reading PatchCode symbology.

DatamatrixBarcodeReadOptions

Datamatrix barcode options. Used when reading Datamatrix symbology.

MicroPDF417BarcodeReadOptions

Micro PDF417 barcode options. Used when reading MicroPDF417 symbology.

PDF417BarcodeReadOptions

PDF417 barcode options. Used when reading PDF417 symbology.

QRBarcodeReadOptions

QR barcode options. Used when reading QR symbology.

AztecBarcodeReadOptions

Aztec barcode options. Used when reading Aztec symbology.

MaxiBarcodeReadOptions

Maxi barcode options. Used when reading Maxi symbology.

MicroQRBarcodeReadOptions

MicroQR barcode options. Used when reading MicroQR symbology.

Example

This example sets the default barcode search options of all supported symbologies to be "Horizontal and Vertical" and then reads the barcodes from a rotated image.
