WriteBarcode Method

Summary
Writes a barcode to an image.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
- (BOOL)writeBarcode:(LTRasterImage *)image data:(LTBarcodeData *)data options:(nullable LTBarcodeWriteOptions *)options error:(NSError **)error; 
public void writeBarcode( 
  RasterImage image,  
  BarcodeData data,  
  BarcodeWriteOptions options 
) 
def WriteBarcode(self,image,data,options): 

Parameters

image
The RasterImage that specifies the image to write the barcode to. Must not be null (Nothing in VB).

data
The barcode data. Must not be null (Nothing in VB).

options
Write options. Could be null (Nothing in VB).

Remarks

Writes a barcode to an image. The  data object must contain the data for the barcode (or one of its derived classes). The following members are used by this method:

If  options is null (Nothing in VB), then this method will use the default write options associated with the symbology by calling GetDefaultOptions(data.Symbology). If  options is not null (Nothing in VB), then this method will use these write options instead of the default ones. The default will use options stored in this BarcodeWriter and will not be overridden by this method at any time.

Note that this method will not check if the options passed in  options are associated with symbology stored in BarcodeData.Symbology. If these two do not match, then the default options are used instead.

Example
C#
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Barcode; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing; 
 
 
public void BarcodeWriter_Example() 
{ 
   // Create a directory to store the images we will create 
   string outDir = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "MyBarcodes");

   // Create a Barcode engine 
   BarcodeEngine engine = new BarcodeEngine(); 
 
   // Get the Barcode writer 
   BarcodeWriter writer = engine.Writer; 
 
   // All 1D options have the UseXModule set to false by default, we need to set it to true 
   // so we can calculate the default size. We will change the default options so we can 
   // pass null to CalculateBarcodeDataBounds and WriteBarcode below 
 
   // For all Standard 1D 
   OneDBarcodeWriteOptions oneDWriteOptions = writer.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.UPCA) as OneDBarcodeWriteOptions; 
   oneDWriteOptions.UseXModule = true; 
 
   // All GS1 Databar Stacked 
   GS1DatabarStackedBarcodeWriteOptions gs1DatabarStackedWriteOptions = writer.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.GS1DatabarStacked) as GS1DatabarStackedBarcodeWriteOptions; 
   gs1DatabarStackedWriteOptions.UseXModule = true; 
 
   // Patch Code 
   PatchCodeBarcodeWriteOptions patchCodeWriteOptions = writer.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.PatchCode) as PatchCodeBarcodeWriteOptions; 
   patchCodeWriteOptions.UseXModule = true; 
 
   // All PostNet/Planet 
   PostNetPlanetBarcodeWriteOptions postNetPlanetWriteOptions = writer.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.PostNet) as PostNetPlanetBarcodeWriteOptions; 
   postNetPlanetWriteOptions.UseXModule = true; 
 
   // We will use this object to save files 
   using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs()) 
   { 
      // Get all the available write symbologies 
      BarcodeSymbology[] symbologies = writer.GetAvailableSymbologies(); 
      foreach (BarcodeSymbology symbology in symbologies) 
      { 
         Console.WriteLine("Processing {0}", symbology); 
 
         // Create the default data for this symbology 
         BarcodeData data = BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData(symbology); 
 
         // Calculate its size with default options 
         writer.CalculateBarcodeDataBounds(LeadRect.Empty, resolution, resolution, data, null); 
 
         // Create an image to write the data to 
         LeadRect pixels = data.Bounds; 
         using (RasterImage image = RasterImage.Create(pixels.Width, pixels.Height, 1, resolution, RasterColor.FromKnownColor(RasterKnownColor.White))) 
         { 
            // Write the barcode with default options 
            writer.WriteBarcode(image, data, null); 
 
            // Save it 
            string outFileName = Path.Combine(outDir, symbology + ".tif"); 
            codecs.Save(image, outFileName, RasterImageFormat.Tif, 1); 
         } 
      }
