QR Code, also known as Denso Barcode, QRCode, Quick Response Code, is a kind of 2D (two dimensional) barcode widely used today.

Java 2D Barcode Generator consists of three important barcode types which are QR Code in Java, PDF 417 in Java and Data Matrix in Java, all of which supports all detailed guide for data encoding and size seting except image setting:

QR Code Size Setting for Java provides various samples on how to set X, Y, barcodeWidth, barcodeHeight and other properties;

QR Code Data Encoding for Java provides various samples on how to QR Code valid data set and data length.

Java QR Code image setting can be divided into image placement, image color, image resolution and image four aspects to impelment for superb quality 2D QR Code image using Java.

      QRCode barcode = new QRCode();

      barcode.setData("QR Code");

QR Code Image Placement Setting in Java

QR Code image placement refers to two aspects which are rotate and barlignment in Java development.

      //For rotating QR Code image, there are four choices which are 0 (IBarcode.ROTATE_0); 1 (IBarcode.ROTATE_90);
        2 (IBarcode.ROTATE_180); 3 (IBarcode.ROTATE_270); default is 0
      barcode.setRotate(IBarcode.ROTATE_10);

      //For QR Code barlignment, you can put the QR Code barcode in the left , right and center inside the image
        in Java. 1: center, 2: right; default is 1: center.Default is 1: center
      barcode.setbarAlignment(1(center));

Java QR Code Image Color Setting

The color of 2D barcode - QR Code generated in Java refer to two aspects which are bacground color and foreground color by setting to any human-seen color

      barcode.setbackColor(white);

      barcode.setforeColor(yellow);

Java QR Code Image Resolution Setting

QR Code image resolution can be set to be any fixed value with QR Code generation library:

      barcode.setResolution(72);

Java QR Code Image Format Setting

Java QR Code generation control supports generating high quality QR Code image with common used image formats like png, tiff, gif, jpeg and bmp. A sample code is below for your easier implementation with just copying and changing to the target format.

      //For bmp image format
      barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\QR Code.bmp");

      //For png format
      barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\QR Code.png");

      //For jpeg format
      barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\QR Code.jpeg");

      //For tiff format
      barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\QR Code.tiff");

      //For gif format
      barcode.drawBarcode("C:\\QR Code.gif");
