Methods

DrawOn(Page)

Draws this barcode on the specified page.

public float[] DrawOn(Page page)

Parameters

page Page

the page to draw on.

Returns

float[]

x and y coordinates of the bottom right corner of this component.

GetHeight()

Returns the height of this barcode as it is drawn: from its location to the bottom of the bars, or of the text under them, in the direction the barcode is drawn, so a barcode drawn top to bottom or bottom to top is as tall as it is long.

public float GetHeight()

Returns

float

the height of this barcode.

SetAltDescription(string)

Sets what the barcode says, such as its digits, for a screen reader: a tagged document, PDF/UA or a PDF/A of level A, then has the barcode as one figure of that description. Without one, its bars are decoration, which a screen reader skips, and the text under them, if any, is read as text.

public Barcode SetAltDescription(string altDescription)

Parameters

altDescription string

the description.

Returns

Barcode

this Barcode object.

SetBarHeightFactor(float)

Sets the bar height factor. The height of the bars is the moduleLength * barHeightFactor The default value is 50.0

Parameters

barHeightFactor float

the specified bar height factor.
