Aspose.BarCode for Java 17.11 is available for download now. The major development in this release is the support to generate databar coded barcode with segments per row. Enhanced functionality to read barcode from PDF has also been incorporated in this release.

Generating Segments Per Row For Databar Barcode

Aspose.BarCode for Java now supports the functionality to generate segments per row databar encoded barcode. This functionality allows the developers to adjust the amount of information per (each) row in the barcode. A property BarCodeBuilder.setColumns has been introduced to define the said setting. How a developer can set segments per row for a databar is demonstrated in the code snippet given below. The code snippet contains comments that makes it self explanatory.

 //Instantiate BarCodeBuilder object
com.aspose.barcode.BarCodeBuilder builder = new com.aspose.barcode.BarCodeBuilder();

//Set the Code text for the barcode
builder.setCodeText("(01)98898765432106(3202)012345(15)991231"); 

//Set the symbology type to Code128
builder.setEncodeType(com.aspose.barcode.EncodeTypes.DATABAR_EXPANDED_STACKED);

//Set the cloumn property to define segments per row
builder.setColumns(6);

//Save the image
builder.save("6segmets.png");
