Manage Barcode Caption

Sometimes, developers might be interested in displaying some extra information on the barcode image that is called Caption. Using Aspose.BarCode for JasperReports, developers can display captions on above, below or both positions of the barcode image.

It is also possible to customize the text, alignment, font, color and space of the caption. Aspose.BarCode for JasperReports provides Caption class to serve this purpose. BarCodeAttributes class has two methods, setCaptionAbove() and setCaptionBelow() that take an instance of Caption class. So, developers can create an object of Caption class and then pass that object to the two methods to set the captions of the barcode.

Java

Java public class MyAttributes 

{ public static BarCodeAttributes Create(String text, String symbology, Color foreColor, String captionAbove, String captionBelow) { BarCodeAttributes b = new BarCodeAttributes(); b.setCodeText(text); b.setSymbology(symbology); b.setForeColor(foreColor); b.setCaptionAbove(new Caption(captionAbove)); b.setCaptionBelow(new Caption(captionBelow)); b.setCodeTextVisible(false); b.setAutoSize(true); return b; } }
