Hi all,
C40, TEXT and X12 encoders for Data Matrix are now in, e.g.
150 50 moveto (This is C40) (encoding=c40) datamatrix
250 50 moveto (This is TEXT) (encoding=text) datamatrix
350 50 moveto (THIS IS X12) (encoding=x12) datamatrix
Here be dragons! There are bits in the specification for these
encodings that are somewhat ambiguous so it is well worth testing that
this works for your application, particular with regard to any stray
characters you may find at the end of the scanned data. Please report
back your findings, positive and negative.
This code has been certified to "It works for me! (TM)" standard.
Thanks for this feature mostly go to Jörg Walter! (And praise for any
bugs introduced go mostly to me ;-)
Have fun,
Tez
