Enum AztecEncodeMode

AztecEncodeMode enumeration

Encoding mode for Aztec barcodes.

public enum AztecEncodeMode

Values

Name	Value	Description
Auto	0	In Auto mode, the CodeText is encoded with maximum data compactness. Unicode characters are re-encoded in the ECIEncoding specified encoding with the insertion of an ECI identifier. If a character is found that is not supported by the selected ECI encoding, an exception is thrown.
Bytes	1	Encode codetext as plain bytes. If it detects any Unicode character, the character will be encoded as two bytes, lower byte first.
ExtendedCodetext	2	Extended mode which supports multi ECI modes.
Extended	3	Extended mode which supports multi ECI modes.
Binary	4	In Binary mode, the CodeText is encoded with maximum data compactness. If a Unicode character is found, an exception is thrown.
ECI	5	In ECI mode, the entire message is re-encoded in the ECIEncoding specified encoding with the insertion of an ECI identifier. If a character is found that is not supported by the selected ECI encoding, an exception is thrown. Please note that some old (pre 2006) scanners may not support this mode.

Examples

[C#]
//Auto mode
var codetext = "犬Right狗";
using (var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Aztec, codetext))
{
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.Aztec.ECIEncoding = ECIEncodings.UTF8;
    generator.Save("test.bmp");
}

byte[] encodedArr = { 0xFF, 0xFE, 0xFD, 0xFC, 0xFB, 0xFA, 0xF9 };
using (var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Aztec))
{
    generator.SetCodetext(encodedArr);
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.Aztec.AztecEncodeMode = AztecEncodeMode.Binary;
    generator.Save("test.bmp");
}

//Extended mode
//create codetext
AztecExtCodetextBuilder textBuilder = new AztecExtCodetextBuilder();
textBuilder.AddECICodetext(ECIEncodings.Win1251, "Will");
textBuilder.AddECICodetext(ECIEncodings.UTF8, "犬Right狗");
textBuilder.AddECICodetext(ECIEncodings.UTF16BE, "犬Power狗");
textBuilder.AddPlainCodetext("Plain text");

//generate codetext
string codetext = textBuilder.GetExtendedCodetext();    

//generate
using(BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Aztec, codetext))
{
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.Aztec.AztecEncodeMode = AztecEncodeMode.Extended;
    generator.Parameters.Barcode.CodeTextParameters.TwoDDisplayText = "My Text";
	generator.Save("test.bmp");
}
