Generating PLANET barcode in Java class example:
Planet barcode = new Planet(); /* PLANET Valid data char set: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Digits) PLANET Valid data length: 11 or 13 digits only, excluding the last checksum digit */ barcode.setData("01234567890"); // PLANET Short bar vs high bar ratio barcode.setShortTallRatio(0.4f); // Unit of Measure, pixel, cm, or inch barcode.setUom(IBarcode.UOM_PIXEL); // barcode bar module width (X) in pixel barcode.setX(3f); // barcode bar module height (Y) in pixel barcode.setY(75f); // barcode image margins barcode.setLeftMargin(0f); barcode.setRightMargin(0f); barcode.setTopMargin(0f); barcode.setBottomMargin(0f); // barcode image resolution in dpi barcode.setResolution(72); // disply barcode encoding data below the barcode barcode.setShowText(true); // barcode encoding data font style barcode.setTextFont(new Font("Arial", 0, 12)); // space between barcode and barcode encoding data barcode.setTextMargin(6); // barcode displaying angle barcode.setRotate(IBarcode.ROTATE_0); barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\planet.gif");
