Generating Barcode Image In Vector Format
Aspose.BarCode for Java now supports the functionality to generate barcode images in vector format. Two new properties Emf and Svg have been introduced in com.aspose.barcode.BarCodeImageFormat class which can be set before saving barcode image. How a developer can save barcode image in vector format is quite simple and is demonstrated in the code snippet given below. The code snippet contains comments that make 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("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
// Set the symbology type to QR
builder.setEncodeType(com.aspose.barcode.EncodeTypes.QR);
//Save the image
builder.save("qr_test.emf", com.aspose.barcode.BarCodeImageFormat.Emf);
