We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Barcode for Java 17.8. Aspose.BarCode versions brefore 17.8, it was not possible to set the barcode bar’s height while generating Postal barcodes like postnet, AustraliaPost etc. The major development in this release is the support to generate the postal barcode with specified height. The functionality to recognize GS1Code128 coded barcode has also been improved in this release.

Previous versions of Aspose.BarCode, it was not possible to set the height of bars of Postal barcodes like Postnet, AustraliaPost, Planet, OneCode and RM4SCC. Aspose.Barcode for .NET 17.8 now allows developers to set the bar height. The said functionality is illustrated in the following code sample.

String codeText = "12345678";

// Create an instance of BarCodeBuilder class
BarCodeBuilder barCodeBuilder = new BarCodeBuilder();

// Set barcode text
barCodeBuilder.setCodeText(codeText);

// Set encoding type
BaseEncodeType encodeType = EncodeTypes.POSTNET;
barCodeBuilder.setEncodeType(encodeType);

// Set barcode Dimension and height
barCodeBuilder.setxDimension(1f);
barCodeBuilder.setBarHeight(40);

// Save the barcode image
barCodeBuilder.save("postnet.png");
