DESCRIPTION

23       GD::Barcode is a subclass of GD and allows you to create barcode image
24       with GD.  This module based on "Generate Barcode Ver 1.02 By Shisei
25       Hanai 97/08/22".
26
27       From 1.14, you can use this module even if no GD (except plot method).
28
29   new
30       $oGdBar = GD::Barcode::UPCE->new($sType, $sTxt);
31
32       Constructor.  Creates a GD::Barcode::$sType object for $sTxt.
33
34   plot()
35       $oGd = $oGdBar->plot([Height => $iHeight, NoText => 0 | 1]);
36
37       creates GD object with barcode image for the $sTxt specified at new
38       method.  $iHeight is height of the image. If NoText is 1, the image has
39       no text image of $sTxt.
40
41        ex.
42         my $oGdB = GD::Barcode->new('EAN13', '123456789012');
43         my $oGD = $oGdB->plot(NoText=>1, Height => 20);
44         # $sGD is a GD image with Height=>20 pixels, with no text.
45
46   barcode()
47       $sPtn = $oGdBar->barcode();
48
49       returns a barcode pattern in string with '1' and '0'.  '1' means black,
50       '0' means white.
51
52        ex.
53         my $oGdB = GD::Barcode->new('UPCE', '123456789012');
54         my $sPtn = $oGdB->barcode();
55         # $sPtn = '';
56
57   $errStr
58       $GD::Barcode::errStr
59
60       has error message.
61
62   $text
63       $oGdBar->{$text}
64
65       has barcode text based on $sTxt specified in new method.
