// upca part is "514141100906", GS1Code128 part is "(8102)03"
barCodeBuilder.CodeText = "514141100906(8102)03";

barCodeBuilder.SymbologyType = Symbology.UpcaGs1DatabarCoupon;

// upca part is "514141100906", GS1Databar part is "(8110)001234502239811110555"
barCodeBuilder.CodeText = "512345678900(8110)001234502239811110555";

// set barcode caption
barCodeBuilder.CaptionAbove.Text = "012345-022398";

// save barcode
barCodeBuilder.Save("couponUpcaDatabar.png"); 

Setting wide narrow ratio for bars in barcode

Using Aspose.Barcode for .NET, developers can set the wide narrow ratio of the bars in the barcode. Following is the sample code snippet to set the wide narrow ratio.

// Set X dimension.
barCodeBuilder.xDimension = 1.2f;
