[iText-questions] Barcodes

[Steve Simpson (AVR IT Dept)]

All,



I have a barcode that I print on an Invoice that runs horizontally from left
to right. I now want to rotate this barcode through 90 degrees clockwise so
that it will run down the right hand side of the page. As soon as I try to
rotate the barcode in iText I lose the barcode from the invoice. I've tried
using



imgShipBarCode.setRotation(90);

and

imgShipBarCode.setRotationDegrees(90);



Can you offer any advice on how to rotate this barcode?



Thanks


Steve

I think the barcode is in your invoice, but it's probably rotated 'off
the page'.
Is imgShipBarCode an instance of com.lowagie.text.Image?
Try changing the absolute position of the image.
And are you sure the scaledWidth and scaledHeight are > 0?

The Invoice is landscape.


Here's the example code;

//Data for the barcode : it is composed of 3 blocks whith AI 402, 90
and 421
// The blocks whith the type 402 and 90 are
of variable size so you must put a FNC1
// to delimitate the block
//String data = code402 + code90 + code421;

PdfContentByte cb =
writer.getDirectContent();

// String t402 =
c.getDeliveryLocation()+RA+c.getAccount()+Barcode128.FNC1;
//String t90 =
c.getDeliveryLocation()+RA+c.getAccount()+Barcode128.FNC1;
//String t421 = "000000";
//String data = t402+t90+t421;
PdfPTable pageTot = new PdfPTable(1);
pageTot.getDefaultCell().setPadding(0f);


pageTot.getDefaultCell().setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);

pageTot.getDefaultCell().setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
pageTot.setWidthPercentage(100f);

String systemDate =
Integer.toString(c.getSystemDD())+Integer.toString(c.getSystemMM())+Integer.
toString(c.getSystemYY());

String t402 =
up.getUserCompany()+c.getVehicleOwningLocation()+RA+Barcode128.FNC1;
String t90 = systemDate+Barcode128.FNC1;
String t421 = "XX";
String data = t402+t90+t421;
System.out.println("Barcode data : "+data);
PdfPTable cell = new PdfPTable(1);

cell.getDefaultCell().setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
cell.getDefaultCell().setPadding(0f);

PdfPCell info = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("
"));
info.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
pageTot.addCell(info);

Barcode128 shipBarCode = new Barcode128();
shipBarCode.setX(0.75f);
shipBarCode.setN(1.5f);
shipBarCode.setChecksumText(true);
shipBarCode.setGenerateChecksum(true);
shipBarCode.setSize(5f);

shipBarCode.setTextAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
shipBarCode.setBaseline(5f);
shipBarCode.setCode(data);
shipBarCode.setBarHeight(10f);

Image imgShipBarCode =
shipBarCode.createImageWithBarcode(cb, Color.black, Color.black);
imgShipBarCode.setRotationDegrees(0);

PdfPCell shipment = new PdfPCell(new
Phrase(new Chunk(imgShipBarCode, 0, 0)));

shipment.setFixedHeight(shipBarCode.getBarcodeSize().height() + 16f);
shipment.setPaddingTop(5f);
shipment.setPaddingBottom(10f);
shipment.setBorder(PdfPCell.NO_BORDER);

shipment.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_TOP);

shipment.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
cell.addCell(shipment);

pageTot.addCell(cell);
pageTot.setTotalWidth(1);
if (c.getPartSetup().equals("N"))
pageTot.writeSelectedRows(0, -1,
300, 300, writer.getDirectContent());
// pageTot.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, 500, 50,
writer.getDirectContent());

imgShipBarCode.setRotationDegrees(0);
PdfPCell shipment = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new Chunk(imgShipBarCode,

0, 0)));

This isn't the ideal way to add an Image to a PdfPCell.
Also the way you set the fixed height seems wrong.
I can't write the code in your place, but I'd use something like
new PdfPCell(imgShipBarCode, true)
or pass false as second parameter if you don't want the image to be resized.
Maybe the new method Paulo wrote to rotate the Cell content can help too
(but I didn't have the time to look at it yet).
br,
Bruno

[Paulo Soares]

Works for me. Post some code that can be run and we'll see...

Some bar code tool provide this selection.
Such as this .net bar code printing application
