Generating One-Dimensional Filled Bars
In this section, we will demonstrate how to create one-dimensional barcodes with filled and empty bars using Aspose.BarCode for .NET. Let’s break it down into steps:
Step 1: Set Up the Environment
Ensure you have a directory path where you want to save your barcode images. Replace "Your Directory Path" with your desired directory path.
string path = "Your Directory Path";
Step 2: Initialize Barcode Generator
Create a BarcodeGenerator object with the desired barcode type (in this case, Code128) and data (“ASPOSE”).
BarcodeGenerator gen = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128, "ASPOSE");
Step 3: Configure Filled Bars
Set the XDimension in pixels and specify whether you want filled bars. For filled bars, set it to true, and for empty bars, set it to false.
gen.Parameters.Barcode.XDimension.Pixels = 2;
gen.Parameters.Barcode.FilledBars = true;
Step 4: Generate and Save Barcodes
Generate and save the barcodes in your specified directory with the appropriate file format (in this case, PNG).
gen.Save($"{path}BarsFilledCode128.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
gen.Parameters.Barcode.FilledBars = false;
gen.Save($"{path}BarsEmptyCode128.png", BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
With these simple steps, you can generate one-dimensional barcodes with either filled or empty bars using Aspose.BarCode for .NET.
