class MaxiBarcodeWriteOptions(BarcodeWriteOptions):

Remarks

The MaxiBarcodeWriteOptions class is used to control the options when writing MaxiCode barcodes using LEADTOOLS. Set the options in two ways:

The BarcodeWriter class contains default options for each barcode symbology (or group of common symbologies). These options can be retrieved using the BarcodeWriter.GetDefaultOptions method passing BarcodeSymbology.Maxi. You can then change the members of the returned MaxiBarcodeWriteOptions by casting it from BarcodeWriteOptions to MaxiBarcodeWriteOptions.

You can also create an instance of MaxiBarcodeWriteOptions class and use it directly in the BarcodeWriter.WriteBarcode method which accepts the options as an input parameter.

The base BarcodeWriteOptions contains the following members and features:

Member	Description
BarcodeWriteOptions.ForeColor	Controls the barcode foreground color (color of the bars or symbols) to use when writing a barcode to an image.
BarcodeWriteOptions.BackColor	Controls the barcode background color (color of the spaces) to use when writing a barcode to an image.
BarcodeWriteOptions.Load and BarcodeWriteOptions.Save	Can be used to save or load the options to/from an XML file or stream.
BarcodeWriteOptions.GetSupportedSymbologies	This class overrides the base class method to return an array containing the following symbologies: BarcodeSymbology.Maxi
BarcodeOptions.FriendlyName	Gets the friendly name of this class.

In addition to the features and members, the MaxiBarcodeWriteOptions contains these MaxiCode barcodes specific features:

Member	Description
CountryCode	The country code that will be encoded when writing Maxi Code symbols using mode 2 or mode 3.
OpenSystemStandard	Write Maxi Code symbols using mode 2 or mode 3 with open system standard message.
PostalCodeChar	The alphanumeric postal code that will be encoded when writing Maxi Code symbols using mode 3.
PostalCodeNum	The numeric postal code that will be encoded when writing Maxi Code symbols using mode 2.
Resolution	The resolution of output symbol when writing Maxi Code symbols.
ServiceClass	The service class that will be encoded when writing Maxi Code symbols using mode 2 or mode 3.
SymbolModel	The encoding mode to use when writing Maxi Code.
Year	The year that will be encoded when writing Maxi Code symbols as open system standard.
