public class BarCode
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class allows the creation of various bar code symbols. Simply call the appropriate method to create your BarCode then draw the result of getCanvas() onto a page:
```
 BarCode code = BarCode.newCode128("Code 128 Test");
 PDFCanvas canvas = code.getCanvas();
 page.drawCanvas(canvas, x, y, x+canvas.getWidth(), y+canvas.getHeight());
 
```
Since:

2.10 - although this class first appeared in 2.0, it was redesigned in 2.10

public static BarCode newCode128(java.lang.String value,
                                 double xunit)
```
    Create a new Code-128 BarCode. This code can display digits, upper and lower-case letters and most punctuation characters from the U+0000 - U+007E (US-ASCII) range. A checksum is automatically included as part of the barcode.
    Code 128 has three "character sets" - A, B or C - which encode different subsets of characters. At any time during the encoding process, a subset can be chosen by embedding the characters CODE128_SETA, CODE128_SETB or CODE128_SETC into the String being encoded, to switch to set A, B or C respectively. Generally this is not required: if no character set is specified, the most appropriate combination will be used. So, for example, to force a String to be encoded using set A, you could specify the string BarCode.CODE128_SETA + "CODEHERE".
    GS1 EAN-128 barcodes can be created by using FNC1 for the FNC1 control character, and the FNC2, FNC3 and FNC4 characters can also be used if required. Here's an example of how to create a GS1 barcode with the following data (see section 3 of the GS1 specification for an explanation of the fields):
    
    Item Number: 19421123450011
    
    Best Before date: 991231
    
    Batch Number: 101234
    
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append(BarCode.FNC1); sb.append("01"); // "Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)" application identifier sb.append("19421123450011"); sb.append(BarCode.FNC1); sb.append("15"); // "Best Before Date" application identifier sb.append("991231"); sb.append(BarCode.FNC1); sb.append("10"); // "Batch or Lot Number" application identifier sb.append("101234"); BarCode code = BarCode.newCode128(sb.toString(), 1.4);
    
    Note: in previous releases the \n character was repurposed to mean FNC1, which caused problems when a literal \n (valid in Code128 set C) was required. For clarity the functionality has been removed and since 2.11.12, FNC1 is the only way to specify FNC1.
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value of the BarCode
    
    xunit - The size of the X-Dimension of the barcode in points. GS1-128 codes recommend an X-unit of 1.4pt (0.495mm)

```
    Create a new PDF417 BarCode, a two-dimensional code defined in ISO15438 which can represent any character in Windows Codepage CP437 or ISO-8859-1. The code includes a variable degree of error correction - the recommended maximum is roughly 1600 ASCII characters or 1900 digits and the absolute maximum with no error correction is roughly 1800 ASCII characters of 2700 digits. The Compact, ECI and Macro extensions to PDF417 are not supported.
    For reasons we cannot understand, the ISO specification for the PDF417 barcode changed between the 2001 and 2006 revisions. In 2001, the default encoding of binary characters referenced codepage 437, a pre-unicode but still perfectly valid way of encoding certain characters outside the ASCII range. In 2006, the default encoding was changed to ISO8859-1. While it's possible to specify the encoding explicitly in the barcode via an ECI (Extended Channel Interpretation), this is an optional part of the specification and not supported by some encoders.
    This means if you are creating a PDF417 barcode with characters outside of the binary range, you are forced to choose between one of the following options.
    
    Target the default encoding as it was specified in 2001; your barcode will scan incorrectly on later equipment (specify eci=2)
    
    Target the default encoding as it was specified in 2006; your barcode will scan incorrectly on earlier equipmen (specify eci=3).
    
    Specify the encoding explicitly; your barcode will scan incorrectly on equipment that doesn't handle ECI codes (specify eci=-1).
    
    Until 2.20.2 our PDF417 API (written in 2004) handled only the first option, but we now offer all of the options above via the "eci" parameter. If you're using non-ASCII characters, frankly, we'd suggest you use another methodology if possible, otherwise try to determine which version of the specification your barcode readers are using. You have been warned. The PDF417 methods in this API that predate this change have to choose one approach to standardise on, and we've chosen to target the latest version of the specification by default. This will mean a change for anyone encoding binary data with an earlier release of this API, but increased compatibility going forward.
    For barcodes that only make use of US ASCII characters, there is no change to functionality and any ECI value may be specified. We suggest a value of 3
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value of the BarCode
    
    xunit - the X-dimension of the barcode in points - typically around 1
    
    securitylevel - how much error correction to apply: -1 to choose an appropriate level or a value from 0 (none) to 8 (512 bytes of error correction). Recommended values are 2 for up to about 70 characters, 3 for up to about 200, 4 for up to about 400 and 5 for more. Remember setting this too high for large volumes of text may cause the maxiumum number of codewords to be reached, which will cause an exception.
    
    columns - the number of data codeword columns in the code - a value greater than 0 will fix the width of the code and allow only the height to vary, whereas 0 will allow the code to auto-size to fit the available space (recommended).
    
    eci - the value of the "Extended Channel Interpretation"; "2" for the 2001 version, "3" for the 2006 or 2015 verions, or "-1" to encode the appropriate ECI explicitly in the barcode (in this case we'll typically use ECI 3). This parameter will have no effect unless characters outside the US-ASCII range are to be encoded.

    Create a new QR-Code which encodes a String in a specified encoding. QR-Codes generated in this way are suitable for use in closed systems, where the encoding has been agreed in advance. In practice, UTF-8 is the most common choice.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value of the BarCode
    
    encoding - the encoding to use to encode the BarCode bytes
    
    modulesize - The size of a module in mm. This value depends on the scanning device, but recommended absolute minimum values for 600dpi printing are 0.17, 0.21 or 0.25mm. 0.5mm seems to be fairly typical.
    
    ecc - the level of error correction, from 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest) offering 7%, 15%, 25% and 30% redundancy respectively. If in doubt we recommend 2.
    
    version - the "version" or size of the code - 0 to auto-size, or a value from 1 to 40.

```
public static BarCode newDataMatrixCode(java.lang.String data)
```
    Create a new Data Matrix code. Data Matrix is a public domain two-dimensional algorithm which encodes data using one of several algorithms, and can store up to 2,335 characters. By default an appropriate size and algorithm is chosen, but for more control the various Data Matrix Latch characters can be inserted into the String you're encoding to set the algorithm.
    This method will choose an appropriate symbol size for the data. Data Matrix does not specify a minimum or maximum absolute symbol size, so the canvas returned from this method has a "pixel" size of 1pt and it may be scaled as necessary.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the value of the BarCode

```
    Create a new Data Matrix code of the specified dimensions. Data Matrix is a public domain two-dimensional algorithm which encodes data using one of several algorithms, and can store up to 2,335 characters. By default an appropriate algorithm is chosen, but for more control the various DataMatrix Latch characters can be inserted into the String you're encoding to set the algorithm.
    The supplied dimensions will be used if possible, but if not the symbol will be sized automatically to accodate the data.
    Data Matrix does not specify a minimum or maximum absolute symbol size, so the canvas returned from this method has a "pixel" size of 1pt and it may be scaled as necessary.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the value of the BarCode
    
    rows - the number of rows in the barcode, or 0 to auto-size

    Create a new Data Matrix code using the specified dimensions and encoder. This method allows you to specify the encoding algorithm for the symbol, which may be one of the Latch characters. The dimensions may also be specified, or values of 0 can be used to auto-size the symbol.
    Data Matrix does not specify a minimum or maximum absolute symbol size, so the canvas returned from this method has a "pixel" size of 1pt and it may be scaled as necessary.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the value of the BarCode
    
    rows - the number of rows in the barcode
    
    cols - the number of rows in the barcode
    
    encoder - one of DATAMATRIX_LATCH_BASE256, DATAMATRIX_LATCH_C40, DATAMATRIX_LATCH_TEXT, DATAMATRIX_LATCH_ASCII, DATAMATRIX_LATCH_ANSIX12 or DATAMATRIX_LATCH_EDIFACT

    Create a new Aztec code representing the specified String. Aztec code (defined in ISO24778) is a two-dimensional barcode that can encode up to approximately 3000 ISO-8859-1 characters in a relatively compact square form. It requires no surrounding quiet zone and can be easily scanned in any direction (note: currently the "binary shift" mode is not supported)

                                 boolean stacked)
```
    Create a new GS1 Databar (formerly known as RSS-14) barcode. Databar is defined in ISO/IEC 24724 and can represent a 14-digit GS1 item identification, although at present only the basic linear variant is supported: the "linkage" facility (where the linear barcode is combined with a MicroPDF417 2D code to form an EAN.UCC composite code) is unsupported.
    Also unsupported is the "stacked" variation, although both these flags exist on the method for future compatibility.
    The returned barcode is a fixed size of 96x33 points, or 96x13 points if the "truncated" option is set - uniquely, this symbology requires no quiet zones.
    
    Parameters:
    
    linkage - the "linkage" flag. Currently the only supported value is false
    
    value - the value, which must be 13 or 14 digits (the 14th being the GS1 checkdigit - if missing this will be calculated)
    
    truncated - if true, the returned barcode will be 13 modules high, rather than the normal 33
    
    stacked - if true, the barcode will be stacked. Currently the only supported value is false

  - setInkBleed
```
public void setInkBleed(double x,
                        double y)
```
    Set the ink bleed amount - the number of points the bars are expected to expand in a horizontal and vertical direction due to ink bleed or other quirks of the printing process. A negative number will reduce the bar by the specified amount and a positive number will increase it. Typically this can be left at zero.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - the number of points to adjust the bar width by
    
    y - the number of poitns to adjust the bar height by.
    
    Since:
    
    2.10.2
  - setColor
```
public void setColor(java.awt.Paint color)
```
    Set the color of the BarCode. A value of null uses the default color, which is black in the GrayScale colorspace
    
    Since:
    
    2.10.3
  - getWidth
```
public float getWidth()
```
    Return the width of the symbol. This will include any mandatory quiet zone required by the algorithm, and will match the width of the canvas returned by getCanvas()
  - getContentRectangle
```
public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D getContentRectangle()
```
    Return the location of the actual barcode in the Canvas, excluding any quiet-zone or text. The returned parameter are measured from the top-left of the canvas
    
    Since:
    
    2.17.1
  - setWidth
```
public void setWidth(float width)
```
    Set the width of this symbol. Not all symboligies can be resized, and for some (specifically: MaxiCode, Intelligent Mail, Royal Mail, Postnet, EAN-13, EAN-8) this method will throw an * IllegalArgumentException. For other algorithms, this will request the size of the symbol is set to no larger than the specified width (the actual * width chosen result may be smaller). This method will also increase the height of the barcode to at least that returned by getMinimumHeight(). For square codes like QR-Code and Aztec code, setting thw width also sets the height.
    
    Parameters:
    
    width - the requested width of the symbol in points.
  - getMinimumHeight
```
public float getMinimumHeight()
```
    Return the recommended minimum height for this symbol. The height for most codes is a function of the width, and will also include additional space if text is to be displayed with the symbol. Although codes with heights less than this height may (depending on symbology) be created, they are not guaranteed to be readable by an open system implementation.
    
    Since:
    
    2.10
  - setShowText
```
public void setShowText(boolean show)
```
    Request that a human-readable version of the barcode value is displayed below the code. Not all codes support this - none of the two-dimensional codes do, for instance. Altering this value will alter the value returned from getHeight() and getMinimumHeight().
    Since 2.23.1 this will call setText() with either the text supplied to the constructor method, or null if show=false
  - setText
```
public void setText(java.lang.String text,
                    PDFFont font)
```
    Set the text to display under the BarCode. This method can be used to format the value in a different way to the value supplied to the constructor method, although it only works for some formats:
    
    Royal Mail Four-state, Postnet or 2D barcodes: no text is possible
    
    EAN13 and EAN8 - the default text will always be used
    
    Anything else - custom text can be specified
    
    The text will not wrap and should be narrower than the width of the symbol.
    Parameters:
    
    text - the text to display, or null to display no text
    
    font - the font to use for text display, or null use the default font
    
    Since:
    
    2.23.1
  - getText
```
public java.lang.String getText()
```
    Return the value of the text content that will be shown below the BarCode. For some formats this will always be null.
    
    Since:
    
    2.23.8
  - setFont
```
public void setFont(PDFFont font)
```
    Set the font to be used for text display
    
    Parameters:
    
    font - the font to use for text display, or null use the default font
    
    Since:
    
    2.23.8
  - getHeight
```
public float getHeight()
```
    Return the height of the symbol. This will include space for the quiet zone and any text if setShowText(boolean) is true, and the returned value will match the height of the canvas returned by getCanvas().
  - setHeight
```
public void setHeight(float height)
```
    Set the height of this symbol. The specified value should be more than the value returned by getMinimumHeight(). Not all symbologies can have their height adjusted (specifically: MaxiCode, Intelligent Mail, Royal Mail, Postnet), and this method may throw an IllegalArgumentException if that is the case.
    
    Parameters:
    
    height - the full height of the canvas to be returned by getCanvas(), in points.
  - setBarHeight
```
public void setBarHeight(float height)
```
    Set the height of the bars used in this symbol. Unike setHeight(float), this method directly sets the height of the scannable bars only. The height of the overall BarCode will be taller than this if the setShowText(boolean) method is true and (for ITF14) if bearer bars are used
    
    Since:
    
    2.24.4
  - getCanvas
```
public PDFCanvas getCanvas()
```
    Return a new PDFCanvas containing the barcode. The dimensions will match those returned by getWidth() and getHeight(). Although we suggest drawing it onto the page at the size it's returned, it is possible to stretch the canvas to suit.
    PDFCanvas canvas = barcode.getCanvas(); page.drawCanvas(canvas, x, y, x+canvas.getWidth(), y+canvas.getHeight()):

                                                     java.awt.Paint background)
```
    Create the BarCode as a BufferedImage. This is a convenience method, nothing to do with PDF but as the hard work creating the barcodes was already done it's an easy addition. For example, here's code to create a BarCode as a PNG:
    
    BarCode barcode = BarCode.newPDF417("Testing"); BufferedImage image = barcode.getBufferedImage(0, Color.white); ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File("barcode.png"));
    versus the equivalent code in a PDF
    BarCode barcode = BarCode.newPDF417("Testing"); PDF pdf = new PDF(); PDFCanvas can = barcode.getCanvas(); PDFPage page = pdf.newPage((int)can.getWidth(), (int)can.getHeight()); page.drawCanvas(can, 0, 0, page.getWidth(), page.getHeight()); pdf.render(new FileOutputStream("barcode.pdf"));
    
    Note without a valid license, the barcode will have "DEMO" written overtop"
    Parameters:
    
    scale - how much to scale the barcode, or zero to auto-size. QR-Codes are measured in millimeters rather than points, so this number should be a factor of 0.70556
    
    background - the color to paint the background of the image - pass in null to render to a transparent background.
