/* 
 * stroke.c
 * 
 * This code uses Zint to encode data in QR Code and then output in
 * the correct format to use StrokeScribe 2D font. This can be adapted
 * to encode any matrix symbology using this font.
 * 
 * The same code can also be used to resolve PDF417 symbols with the
 * StrokeScribe 417 font and linear symbols with the StrokeScribe 1D
 * font, all of which are available from the same souce.
 * 
 * This code can be compiled with:
 * 
 * gcc -o stroke stroke.c -lzint
 * 
 * The fonts are available from:
 * 
 * https://strokescribe.com/en/free-version-barcode-truetype-fonts.html
