Creating Two-dimensional (2D) Barcodes

Two-dimensional barcode can contain more data per label than a one-dimensional one, up to thousands of characters. Large amounts of text and data can be stored securely and inexpensively, encoded into two-dimensional barcodes. Aspose.BarCode supports both barcode types in one simple interface.

Creating a Two-dimentional Barcode

The BarCodeAttributes class supports both one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes. Creating two-dimensional barcodes is just the same as creating one-dimensional barcodes.

This is a quick example. Read more about creating PDF417 barcodes.

Sample PDF417 barcode

Java

 public class MyAttributes

{

    public static BarCodeAttributes Create(String text, String symbology)

    {

        BarCodeAttributes b = new BarCodeAttributes();

        b.setCodeText(text);

        b.setSymbology(symbology);

        // width of each module

        b.setYDimension(0.6f);

        // height of each module

        b.setYDimension(1.2f);

        return b;

    }

}
