DESCRIPTION
GD::Barcode is a subclass of GD and allows you to create barcode image
with GD. This module based on "Generate Barcode Ver 1.02 By Shisei Hanai
97/08/22".
From 1.14, you can use this module even if no GD (except plot method).
new
*$oGdBar* = GD::Barcode::UPCE->new(*$sType*, *$sTxt*);
Constructor. Creates a GD::Barcode::*$sType* object for *$sTxt*.
plot()
*$oGd* = $oGdBar->plot([Height => *$iHeight*, NoText => *0 | 1*]);
creates GD object with barcode image for the *$sTxt* specified at "new"
method. *$iHeight* is height of the image. If *NoText* is 1, the image
has no text image of *$sTxt*.
ex.
my $oGdB = GD::Barcode->new('EAN13', '123456789012');
my $oGD = $oGdB->plot(NoText=>1, Height => 20);
# $sGD is a GD image with Height=>20 pixels, with no text.
barcode()
*$sPtn* = $oGdBar->barcode();
returns a barcode pattern in string with '1' and '0'. '1' means black,
'0' means white.
ex.
my $oGdB = GD::Barcode->new('UPCE', '123456789012');
my $sPtn = $oGdB->barcode();
# $sPtn = '';
$errStr
$GD::Barcode::errStr
has error message.
$text
$oGdBar->{$text}
has barcode text based on *$sTxt* specified in "new" method.
