Advanced Imaging Options
Aspose.BarCode for Java allows you to easily manipulate barcode image borders, border colors, style, margins and width as well as allowing you to modify image color, back color and bar color. You can also rotate barcode images to any angle and produce high quality barcode images with anti-aliasing. In addition to this, barcode image margins can be managed and you can set customized resolutions.
Aspose.BarCode for Java gives you the ability to specify size in inches and millimeters as well as allowing the auto-sizing of barcode images. With the help of Aspose.BarCode for Java, you can create barcode images in any desired output image format like Jpeg, Gif, Png, Tiff etc.
Customizing Barcodes
With Aspose.BarCode for Java you can easily customize barcodes to suit your needs by specifying different kinds of symbologies, setting barcode code text (data to be encoded to barcode image) and appearance related properties like font, back color, fore color, alignment and location (hide, above, below) etc. You can also easily manage barcode caption, its font, back color, fore color, alignment and location (hide, above, below).
Aspose.BarCode for Java also supports checksum and supplement data. The more commonly used Code128 encoding is exceptionally optimized.
BarCode Recognition
Aspose.BarCode for Java can read a variety of the most commonly used Linear, 2D and Postal barcodes, detecting them anywhere, with any orientation. If there is more than one barcode in a single image, it can detect each and you can easily check the detected CodeText, Symbology Type, Orientation etc of all the recognized barcodes.
Slightly damaged barcode detection is sometimes also possible. Aspose.BarCode for Java supports Median Smoothing, HLS and Grayscale image processing in barcode recognition.
