EnableReturnFourPoints Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to enable return the four corners coordinates instead a bounding rectangle.

Syntax

C++/CLI

Python

public bool EnableReturnFourPoints { get; set; }

public: 
property bool EnableReturnFourPoints { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
}

EnableReturnFourPoints # get and set (BarcodeReader)

Property Value

true to enable return of four corners. Otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Remarks

When calling ReadBarcode or ReadBarcodes with the EnableReturnFourPoints property set to true, BarcodeData.Bounds member will be updated with the coordinates of the four corners of the barcode rather than the coordinates of the bounding rectangle. These coordinates are encoded values and must be decoded before they can be used. The following example shows how to decode the four-point corner values:
