Symbology Settings in Xamarin.Android SfBarcode
10 May 20224 minutes to read
Each and every Barcode symbology can be personalized with optional settings that may affect the appearance of specific Barcode.
One Dimensional Barcode settings
One dimensional Barcodes can be customized by using the following properties and they are commonly used for all the categories of supported one dimensional Barcodes.
- By setting the
BarHeight
property, the height of the linear bars can be changed. - By setting the
NarrowBarWidth
property, the width ratio of the wide and narrow bars can be customized.
One dimensional Barcodes can also have error detection settings.
- By enabling the
EncodeStartStopSymbols
property, start and stop symbols are added to signal a Barcode reader that a Barcode has been scanned. - The
EnableCheckDigit
property enables or disables the redundancy check by using a check digit that is the decimal equivalent of a binary parity bit. - With the help of
ShowCheckDigit
property, the check digit can be shown or hidden.
The following code example shows how to change the settings of the Code 39 linear Barcode.
//Changes the settings of Code 39 linear Barcode.
<sync:SfBarcode.SymbologySettings>
<sync:Code39Setting BarHeight="45" EnableCheckDigit="False" EncodeStartStopSymbols="True" NarrowBarWidth="1" ShowCheckDigit="False"/>
</sync:SfBarcode.SymbologySettings>
Similarly, you can specify the settings of other linear Barcodes corresponding to specified symbology.
Two Dimensional Barcode Settings
Two dimensional Barcodes are customized by using the XDimension
property that modifies its block size and it is commonly used for all kinds of supported two dimensional Barcodes.
Data Matrix Settings
The Data Matrix symbology can be customized with the help of the following settings.
//Changes the settings of Data Matrix Barcode.
<sync:SfBarcode.SymbologySettings>
<sync:DataMatrixSetting XDimension="8" Encoding="ASCIINumeric” Size="Size104x104" />
</sync:SfBarcode.SymbologySettings>
- The
Encoding
property is used to specify the encoding technique from enumeration ofDataMatrixEncoding
that contains encoding techniques such as ASCII, ASCIINumeric, Auto and Base256. - The
Size
property allows you to specify the size of the Barcode from a set of predefined sizes available in theDataMatrixSize
enumeration.
