ForeColor Property

Summary

Gets or sets the barcode foreground (bars or symbol) color used when writing barcodes.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public RasterColor ForeColor { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, copy) LTRasterColor *foreColor;

public RasterColor getForeColor() 
public void setForeColor(RasterColor value)

public: 
property RasterColor ForeColor { 
   RasterColor get(); 
   void set (    RasterColor ); 
}

ForeColor # get and set (BarcodeWriteOptions)

Property Value

A RasterColor that specifies the barcode foreground (bars or symbol) color when writing barcodes. Default value is "Black" (RGB of #000000). The default value is #FF000000.

Remarks

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.

Example

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

Java

   BarcodeEngine engine = new BarcodeEngine(); 
   BarcodeWriter writer = engine.Writer; 
 
   // We will create a Red over Yellow backround 
   RasterColor foreColor = RasterColor.FromKnownColor(RasterKnownColor.Red); 
   RasterColor backColor = RasterColor.FromKnownColor(RasterKnownColor.Yellow); 
 
   // Create a UPC-A barcode 
   BarcodeData barcode = BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData(BarcodeSymbology.UPCA);
