Java EAN-13 Size Setting is written to describe how to change the EAN 13 size with Java applications;

Java EAN-13 Data Encoding is written to describe how to encode EAN 13 valid digit set and length in Java.

Open an existing project or a new project for EAN 13 image setting and build a EAN 13 barcode object.

      DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();

      //EAN 13 in Java can only encode 12 numeric digits
      barcode.setData("124578124576");

EAN-13 Image Common Setting in Java

      //For resolution of EAN 13 image
      barcode.setResolution(68);

      //For EAN 13 in Java angle 0 (IBarcode.ROTATE_0); 1 (IBarcode.ROTATE_90); 2 (IBarcode.ROTATE_180);
        3 (IBarcode.ROTATE_270)
      barcode.setRotate(IBarcode.ROTATE_180);

      //For bar alignment of Java EAN 13 image, 0: left, 1: center, 2: right;
      barcode.setbarAlignment(1(center));

      //For EAN 13 background color
      barcode.setbackColor(red);

      //For EAN 13 foreground color
      barcode.setforeColor(black);

      //For EAN 13 text displaying or not
      barcode.setshowText(true);

      //For EAN 13 textColor in Java
      barcode.settextColor(black);

EAN-13 Supplement Image Setting in Java

For EAN 13 image generated in Java can be divided into two parts if enable the supplement data for a supplement barcode at the right side of the EAN 13 image.

      //For EAN 13 supplement data setting
      barcode.setsupData("00");

     //For EAN 13 supplement height,default is 0.8f
      barcode.setsupHeight(2);

      //For the space between EAN 13 barcode and supplement barcode, default is 15
      barcode.setsupSpace(20);
