CalculateBarcodeDataBounds Method

Summary

Calculates the exact pixel size required to write the specified barcode.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public void CalculateBarcodeDataBounds( 
   LeadRect writeBounds, 
   int xResolution, 
   int yResolution, 
   BarcodeData data, 
   BarcodeWriteOptions options 
)

Public Sub CalculateBarcodeDataBounds( _ 
   ByVal writeBounds As LeadRect, _ 
   ByVal xResolution As Integer, _ 
   ByVal yResolution As Integer, _ 
   ByVal data As BarcodeData, _ 
   ByVal options As BarcodeWriteOptions _ 
)

- (BOOL)calculateBarcodeDataBounds:(LeadRect)writeBounds  
                       xResolution:(NSInteger)xResolution  
                       yResolution:(NSInteger)yResolution  
                              data:(LTBarcodeData *)data  
                           options:(nullable LTBarcodeWriteOptions *)options  
                             error:(NSError **)error

public void calculateBarcodeDataBounds( 
  LeadRect writeBounds,  
  int xResolution,  
  int yResolution,  
  BarcodeData data,  
  BarcodeWriteOptions options 
)

public: 
void CalculateBarcodeDataBounds(  
   LeadRect writeBounds, 
   int xResolution, 
   int yResolution, 
   BarcodeData^ data, 
   BarcodeWriteOptions^ options 
)

Parameters

writeBounds
The location where the barcode should be written.

xResolution
Horizontal resolution value of the destination image that will be used to write the barcode to.

yResolution
Vertical resolution value of the destination image that will be used to write the barcode to.

data
An BarcodeData object that contains the barcode data to write.

options
Options write options to use.

Remarks

After this method returns, the width and height values of BarcodeData.Bounds will be updated with the exact pixel size required to write the barcode with the specified options.

The BarcodeData contains the BarcodeData.Bounds property that should be populated with the location and size of the final barcode on the image. 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. You can use the CalculateBarcodeDataBounds method to return the exact location of the destination barcode on the image without committing it based on the data, symbology and options selected.

Example

This example will use CalculateBarcodeDataBounds to calculate the smallest size required to write the specified QR barcode, then it will create an image with the specified size, and finally write the barcode to it.
