VerticalAlignment Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating the vertical alignment to use when fitting this barcode inside the destination bounds.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public BarcodeAlignment VerticalAlignment { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, assign) LTBarcodeAlignment verticalAlignment;

public BarcodeAlignment getVerticalAlignment() 
public void setVerticalAlignment(BarcodeAlignment value)

public: 
property BarcodeAlignment VerticalAlignment { 
   BarcodeAlignment get(); 
   void set (    BarcodeAlignment ); 
}

VerticalAlignment # get and set (MicroPDF417BarcodeWriteOptions)

Property Value

A BarcodeAlignment enumeration member that indicates the vertical alignment to use when fitting this barcode inside the destination bounds. The default value is BarcodeAlignment.Near.

Remarks

When writing barcodes, the BarcodeWriter object may not use all the area defined by the output rectangle (BarcodeData.Bounds) since 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. For more information, refer to Writing Barcodes - Bounds and XModule.

In cases where not all of the bounds is used, an alignment value can be set to determine whether the result barcode is left, top, right, bottom or center aligned to the rectangle. For these, you can use the BarcodeAlignment enumeration to control how the barcode is written.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Barcode; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing; 
 
 
public void BarcodeAlignment_Example() 
{ 
   string imageFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "MyBarcode.tif"); 
 
   BarcodeEngine engine = new BarcodeEngine(); 
   BarcodeWriter writer = engine.Writer; 
 
   // Create the QR barcode 
   BarcodeData barcode = BarcodeData.CreateDefaultBarcodeData(BarcodeSymbology.QR); 
 
   // Create the image (8.5 by 11 inches at 300 DPI) 
   int resolution = 300; 
   using (RasterImage image = RasterImage.Create((int)(8.5 * resolution), (int)(11.0 * resolution), 1, resolution, RasterColor.FromKnownColor(RasterKnownColor.White))) 
   { 
      // We will control the position by alignment, so set the barcode bound to be the whole image 
      barcode.Bounds = new LeadRect(0, 0, image.ImageWidth, image.ImageHeight); 
 
      QRBarcodeWriteOptions options = writer.GetDefaultOptions(BarcodeSymbology.QR) as QRBarcodeWriteOptions; 
 
      // Let the engine determine the size of the barcode using X Module (default behavior) 
 
      // Use these alignments 
      BarcodeAlignment[] verticalAlignments = { BarcodeAlignment.Near, BarcodeAlignment.Center, BarcodeAlignment.Far }; 
      BarcodeAlignment[] horizontalAlignments = { BarcodeAlignment.Near, BarcodeAlignment.Center, BarcodeAlignment.Far }; 
 
      foreach (BarcodeAlignment verticalAlignment in verticalAlignments) 
      { 
         foreach (BarcodeAlignment horizontalAlignment in horizontalAlignments) 
         { 
            // Write the barcode using these alignments 
            options.HorizontalAlignment = verticalAlignment; 
            options.VerticalAlignment = horizontalAlignment; 
            writer.WriteBarcode(image, barcode, options); 
         } 
      } 
 
      // The image now have 9 barcodes 
 
      // Save the image 
      using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs()) 
      { 
         codecs.Save(image, imageFileName, RasterImageFormat.CcittGroup4, 1); 
      } 
   }
