L_BarCodeWrite returns ERROR_BARCODE_STRING for long string

I started to use leadtools to generate bar codes from strings.
The problem that I recently faced is: L_BarCodeWrite returns ERROR_BARCODE_STRING for long string.
If I reduce number of characters in input string then the bar code is computed correctly. I use BARCODE_DM_10x10 size for data matrix.

Can someone explain me why is it so? And what is the correspondence between string length and barcode size?

Thank you in advance,
Wanderer.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting LEADTOOLS Support. There is a direct correlation between data size and barcode symbol size. The more data you are trying to input into the barcode, the larger the symbol will need to be. There is documentation that goes into more detail regarding this here:

There is a method in the BarcodeWriter Class called CalculateBarcodeDataBounds that can be used to calculate the exact pixel size required to write the specified barcode:

Regarding Datamatrix barcodes specifically, there is a chart that shows the maximum length of the data based on the Symbol Size here:
