Note that with this option checked, any tilde that needs to be included in the output must be
escaped by adding another tilde: ~~.
Color
The Color group allows you to choose a different Barcode color (instead of black) and
Background color (instead of white), by typing a hexadecimal color value (see for example
w3school's color picker).
When black is a composite of CMYK or RGB values, it may incur a color click charge on some
printers. Check the Output in Grayscale option to make sure that pure black is used.
Output format
Defines how the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
l
SVG: Vector format. This is smaller in size, but not compatible with Email output.
l
PNG: Binary rasterized format. This is slightly larger than SVG but will display properly in
Email output.
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8 and EAN-13 are a few of the barcode types that can be added to a
template.
The barcode can be added either using the Barcode toolbar button or through selecting Insert
> Barcode on the menu; see "Adding a Barcode" on page614.
Initially the barcode will have the barcode type's default properties. To change those properties,
such as the scale and color, open the Barcode properties dialog: right-click the barcode (on the
Design tab in the Workspace) and select the barcode type on the shortcut menu.
Note that these barcode types process tilde characters in the data as special characters. See
the Java4less Barcodes Guide to learn what the tilde character can be used for.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode types UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8 and EAN-13. For the
