Barcode Rotations in PGL
Barcodes can now be rotated in four different orientations in stead of the
former two orientations. VSCAN is still supported to create a 90 degree
counterclockwise barcode. The new parameters are use in place of VSCAN to
allow new rotations. The new parameters are CW to create a 90 degree
clockwise bar code, INV to create an inverted (180 de gree) bar code, and
CCW to create a 90 degree counterclockwise bar code.
User-defined Barcode Ratios in PGL
Bar code ratios can now be defined to control bar code size. The XR and XRD
parameters are used in the same location as the current magnif ication value
parameter. The XR and XRD parameters are followed by four ratio values
(eight for Code 128, UPC, and EAN bar codes).
These values specify the narrow bar, narrow space, wide bar, and wide spac e
widths in printer dots (60 dpi for XR and 120 dpi for XRD), each separated by
a colon. The following example illustrates the usage of the XR par ameter:
BARCODE
C3/9;XR1:1:2:2;H10;5;1
*Code 39*
STOP
The previous values for magnification continue to be valid.
New Barcode Fonts in PGL
New values have been added to the FONT parameter of the BARCODE
command. The following table identifies the valid values.
