Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode types OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail and
Australia Post. For the properties of other barcode types, see "Barcode type and properties" on
page136.
Height, width and spacing
The height, width and spacing of the barcode are all measured in pixels (38 dpi).
l
Bar height: the height of the (shorter) bars
l
Extended bar height: the total height of the extended bars
l
Bar width: the width of the bars
l
Spacing: the distance between the bars
Scale
Defines if and how the rendered barcode is scaled in relation to the parent element:
l
None: The barcode is rendered based on the module width.
l
Fit to box: The barcode is stretched to fit the parent box in both width and height.
l
Proportionally: The barcode is stretched up to where it fits either the width or height of
the parent box, whichever requires the less stretching.
Color
The Color property 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).
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.
