Generate Barcode Using Spire.Barcode Library

Background
 
I surfed the internet one day and found a barcode library. The description of the library says it can scan an image for barcodes. I was interested in it. I wanted to know whether the library is useful or not. So I used its method to scan some images to evaluate the library. It turns out that it is OK.
 
So I introduce this barcode library to you. You can download it here (Download Spire.Barcode).
 

Introduction

 
The library provides a method called Scan to read barcode images. It is an overloaded method. In this part, I list the definitions of the methods. Those methods will be used in the code to test the performance of the library.
  1. public static string [] Scan (Bitmap bitmap); 
Scan a specified image for all the supported barcodes.
 
bitmap: The image to scan
  1. public static string[] Scan(Bitmap image, BarCodeType barcodeType); 
Scan a specified image for a specified type of barcode.
  • bitmap: The image to scan
  • barcodeType: The type of barcode to detect
  1. public static string[] Scan(Bitmap bitmap, Rectangle rect, BarCodeType barcodeType); 
Scan a specified portion of the image for a specified type of barcode.
  • bitmap: The image to scan
  • rect: Specify the portion of Bitmap to scan
  • barcodeType: Specify the type of barcode to detect
Sample Code
 
In order to evaluate the method Scan, I made an image barcode.jpg. And there are three elements in the image: three QR Code barcodes, two Codabar barcodes, and one POSTNET barcode. Scan the image with different parameters, we should get different outcomes.

Here is the result:
 
Code snippet
  1. datas = BarcodeScanner.Scan(bitmap); 
Outcome
 
TestOne
 
Code snippet
  1. datas = BarcodeScanner.Scan(bitmap, BarCodeType.Codabar); 
Outcome
 
TestTwo
 
Code snippet
  1. datas = BarcodeScanner.Scan(bitmap, newRectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height / 2), BarCodeType.QRCode);  
Outcome
 
TestThree
 

Conclusion

 
You may try it yourself. I hope this barcode library can do you some help.
