Usage examples:

BARCODENET-36297 - Support to generate Code128C coded barcode Code sample:

The following snippet of code describes how to generate the Code128A, Code128B, Code128C based on the Code Text provided.

 BarCodeBuilder bb = new BarCodeBuilder ("0123456789", Symbology.Code128);

// Save the image

bb.save("Barcode_Issue36297_Code128C.png");

bb = new BarCodeBuilder ("AAA0123456789zzzzz", Symbology.Code128);

// Save the image

bb.save("Barcode_Issue36297_Code128B.png");


bb = new BarCodeBuilder (@"AAA\t\r\n0123456789\t\r\nZZZ", Symbology.Code128);

// Save the image

bb.save("Barcode_Issue36297_Code128A.png");

BARCODENET-36262 - Implement Aztec Runes generator Sample generation code:

 BarCodeBuilder b = new BarCodeBuilder();

b.setCodeText("25");

b.setSymbologyType(Symbology.Aztec);

b.setAztecSymbolMode(AztecSymbolMode.Rune);

BufferedImage image = b.getBarCodeImage();

BARCODENET-36288 - Add checksum validation for OneCode and AustraliaPost

Added checksum validation for OneCode and AustraliaPost. Fixed recognition for rotated AustraliaPost barcodes. Fixed GetCheckSum() result for OneCode and AustraliaPost.

Sample pictures (australiapost_incorrect.png, onecode2_incorrect.png) are incorrect and can’t be recognized in regular mode. These pictures can be recognized with turn-off checksum validation (ChecksumValidation.Off).

Code sample 1:

 BarCodeReader r = new BarCodeReader("australiapost_incorrect.png", DecodeType.AUSTRALIA_POST);

if (!r.read())

{

        System.out.println("Barcode is incorrect!");

}

Result:

Barcode is incorrect!

Code sample 2:

 BarCodeReader r = new BarCodeReader("onecode2_incorrect.png", DecodeType.ONE_CODE);

r.setChecksumValidation(ChecksumValidation.Off);

while (r.read())

{

        System.out.println(r.getCodeType() + ": " + r.getCodeText());

        System.out.println("CheckSum: " + r.getCheckSum());

}

Result:

OneCode: 44999000000123456789941078350

CheckSum: 1841

BARCODENET-36266 - Implement Aztec Runes decoder

Sample reader code:

 BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader("aztecRunes25.png");

while (reader.read())

{

        System.out.println("{0}", reader.getCodeType() + ": " + reader.getCodeText());

}

Result:

Aztec: 25

Second sample reader code:

 BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader("aztecRunes68.png"))

while (reader.read())

{

    System.out.println(reader.getCodeType() + ": " + reader.getCodeText());

}

Result:

Aztec: 68

BARCODENET-36308 - The empty hexes for MaxiCode (barcode builder) Code sample:

 BarCodeBuilder builder = new BarCodeBuilder("111", Symbology.MaxiCode);

builder.setGraphicsUnit(GraphicsUnit.Millimeter);

builder.setxDimension(0.22f);

builder.setResolution(new Resolution(72, 72, ResolutionMode.Customized));

BufferedImage image1 = builder.generateBarCodeImage();

image1.save("barcode.png", ImageFormat.getPng());

Result:

 Aspose.BarCode.BarCodeException :

Size of barcode is too small.

Please, increase the xDimension or resolution.

Code sample for correct generation:

 BarCodeBuilder builder = new BarCodeBuilder("111", Symbology.MaxiCode);

builder.setGraphicsUnit(GraphicsUnit.Millimeter);

builder.setxDimension(3);

BufferedImage image1 = builder.generateBarCodeImage();

image1.save("barcode.png", ImageFormat.getPng());

BARCODENET-36278 - Reading Postnet barcode from image is not producing correct results

Code sample:

 BarCodeReader objBReader = new BarCodeReader("barcode_ab-1-1.png", DecodeType.POSTNET);

int counter = 0;

while (objBReader.read())

{

    counter++;

    System.out.println(" -- Symbol:" + objBReader.getCodeType() + " Code: " + objBReader.getCodeText());

    System.out.println(" -- Angle:" + objBReader.getAngle());

}

objBReader.close();

System.out.println(counter.toString());

Result:

– Symbol:Postnet Code: 21842

– Angle:0,6480604

Added checksum validation to reject fake results (69840). Also improved result for GetAngle(). Now returns the same results for different rotation hints: Sample 1, “Rotate180”:

 BarCodeReader objBReader = new BarCodeReader(fileName, DecodeType.POSTNET);

objBReader.setOrientationHints(RecognitionHints.Orientation.Rotate180);

int counter = 0;

while (objBReader.read())

{

    counter++;

    System.out.println(" -- Symbol:" + objBReader.getCodeType() + " Code: " + objBReader.getCodeText());

    System.out.println(" -- Angle:" + objBReader.getAngle());

}

objBReader.close();

System.out.println(counter);

Result:

– Symbol:Postnet Code: 21842

– Angle:180,6961

Sample 2, “Rotate270”:

 objBReader.setOrientationHints(RecognitionHints.Orientation.Rotate270);

Result:

– Symbol:Postnet Code: 21842

– Angle:270,696

Sample 3, “Rotate90”:

 objBReader.setOrientationHints(RecognitionHints.Orientation.Rotate90);

Result:

– Symbol:Postnet Code: 21842

– Angle:90,64806

BARCODENET-36310 - Aspose.BarCode is not recognizing correct DataMatix coded barcode Fixed the incorrect recognized Datamatrix. Code sample:

 String filename = @"00000001F.tif";

BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(filename, DecodeType.DATA_MATRIX);

while (reader.read())

{

	System.out.println(reader.getReadType() + ": " + reader.getCodeText());

}

Result:

 DataMatrix: DMapp1of3

DataMatrix: DI011416000001

DataMatrix: 0120000000

DataMatrix: DI011416000001

DataMatrix: DMapp1of3

BARCODENET-36254 - Recognize DataMatrix with the irregular black/white proportions

Code sample

 String filename = "irregular-matrix.png";

BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(filename, DecodeType.DATA_MATRIX);

reader.setRecognitionMode(RecognitionMode.ManualHints);

reader.setManualHints(ManualHint.IncorrectBarcodes);

while(reader.read())

{

	System.out.println(reader.getCodeType() + ": " + reader.getCodeText());

}

BARCODENET-36312 - Exclude unwanted dutch KIX barcodes

Code sample:

 BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader("00000013F.tif", DecodeType.DUTCH_KIX);

int cnt = 0;

while (reader.read())

{

	cnt++;

	System.out.println(reader.getCodeType() + ": " + reader.getCodeText());

}

System.out.println("Read " + cnt + " barcodes");

Result:

 Read 0 barcodes

BARCODENET-36272 - Generate empty picture with incorrect codetext for Aztec

{

   text += 'A';

}

b.setCodeText(text);

b.setSymbologyType(Symbology.Aztec);

BufferedImage image = b.getBarCodeImage();

Sample 2. With incorrect codetext (over limit) - 3068 characters:

 BarCodeBuilder b = new BarCodeBuilder();

String text = "";

for(int i = 0; i< 3068; i++)

{

   text += 'A';

}

b.setCodeText(text);

b.setSymbologyType(Symbology.Aztec);

BufferedImage image = b.getBarCodeImage();

Result:
