EnableInvertedSymbols Property

Summary
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the Datamatrix reader will search for both inverted and normal (non-inverted) symbols.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public bool EnableInvertedSymbols { get; set; } 
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL enableInvertedSymbols; 
public boolean getEnableInvertedSymbols() 
public void setEnableInvertedSymbols(boolean value) 
public: 
property bool EnableInvertedSymbols { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
} 
EnableInvertedSymbols # get and set (DatamatrixBarcodeReadOptions) 

Property Value

true to force the Datamatrix engine to search for both inverted and normal (non-inverted) symbols. Otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Remarks

The Datamatrix reader engine can automatically read inverted symbols. An inverted symbol is one that has white foreground color and black background for example.

Notice that the colors to search for when reading Datamatrix barcodes can be set using ForeColor and BackColor. When EnableInvertedSymbols is true, the engine will use the two colors specified and then automatically flip them and try again if it cannot find the symbol.
