Barcode options

2008-10-02T20:48:04Z

Hi Terry,

We are using the BWIPP library in a number of different documents,
with variable data content and variable barcode types.

For instance, there may be a moment when we receive Code 128 data
'123456' from an application but there may be times when another
application that generates our data automatically adds the checksum

A new DataBar codes

Dear Terry,
I haven't found a new GS1 DataBar codes on your web-site
[link]. You are going to do this
work? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR JOB!

Barcodes on each page

2008-09-19T05:23:01Z

Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting a barcode to print on each page of a
document. It renders on the first page, but not any of the others. I'm
using RGhost and RGhostBarcode. The before_page, and after_page
callbacks both fire correctly, the text is rendered properly at top
and bottom of document. The barcode is only on the first page.

URL to QR

2008-09-08T01:15:35Z

Newbie question:
I would like to produce a QR code for
a URL. How?
Looking at the examples, I am guessing
I need to turn the URL into a string of
digits. But what is the transformation?
Thanks for your patience,
Alan Isaac

Datamatrix issue

2008-09-02T21:14:05Z

Hi Terry,

When I originally tested your Datamatrix barcode, I was encoding my
data through the default ASCII encoding scheme. Wanting to optimize
the amount of codewords in the generated barcode, I've started to toy
around with various encodings, notably EDIFACT. This is where I've
run into a snag.

Code 39 Full Ascii

2008-07-28T09:46:05Z

Currently the postscript code supports encoding Code 39 extended. But
the includetext option is not showing the correct text. Is there any
plans to correct the includetext option.

Thank You

2008-07-27T22:35:46Z

I searched all over the web in order to learn how to encode EAN-5, but
it seems you guys have already done it! Your product is amazing, thank
you very much!

Generate an odd number's code128 barcode

2008-07-16T14:35:45Z

Hello,

I'd like to generate a Code128C barcode from a non-pair number (11
digits).

When I try it with RGhost_barcode, it doesn't work.

But when I try it with AxelCodBar (downloadable here :
[link]), it works fine !

Do you know how I can do with Rghost_barcode without changing the A, B

aztec - readerinit

2008-07-15T19:41:51Z

Hi Terry

I analyzed Your code in barcode.ps (aztec scrap) and I'm not sure what
the readerinit means.
Can You explain this parameter in details (always 'false' inYour
code) ?

best regards
Robert

ps. I've never seen postscript language before .. It's smart-funny
stack language.
My brain is my debugger :) I translated Your code (aztec scrap)

Error while executing gem install -y rghost_barcode

2008-07-11T09:58:12Z

Hello,

I've programmed a little RGhost_barcode.
On my PC (under Windows 2000), the installation of Ruby and its
plugins work very well.

I wanted to show it to my boss (under Windows XP), but when I execute
(on his PC) the command gem install -y rghost_barcode there's an
error :

Onecode algorithm's performance

2008-07-10T18:01:10Z

Hi Terry,

I've run across an issue when dealing with the Onecode barcode in
BWIPP, and was wondering if something could be done about it. The
issue is that the speed performance of the algorithm seems to be far
less efficient than that of the postnet barcode.

When we generate, say, 100 consecutive barcodes (lets say I have a

Another encoding problem

2008-07-09T09:48:14Z

Hello,

I've developed a ruby RGhost program that generates barcodes and text.

I've written it when I was on Ubuntu, and now, I want to make it work
on Windows.

But when I execute the file, there's some trouble :

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Bureau >ruby zcb.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems /rghost-0.8/lib/rghost/

RGhost : accent problem with doc.show

2008-07-08T07:44:54Z

Hello,

I'm working on a project that generates PDF files.
In these PDF's, there's some barcodes, and on the top of them, there's
some text, written with the function show.

My problem is when I do a doc.show('tété') : the 'é' don't appear like
they may, but as 'Ø'.

Can someone help me ?

OneCode specification E

2008-07-04T02:13:42Z

Hi Terry,

I used the latest version of your code to generate OneCode barcodes.

I dumped the Bar height succession array and it seems to me that the
barcode heights are outside the current specification:-

For (00702654321000024061503640500 55) I got

[0.109375 0.109375 0.109375 0.109375 0.175 0.175 0.175 0.175 0.109375
