<H1>3. Using the Front End</H1>
<P STYLE="font-style: normal">Zint can be used to generate barcodes
as PNG images or as encapsulated Post Script (EPS) files. This page
describes how to encode data using the command line front end
program.</P>
<P><A NAME="INPUT"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.1 Inputting data</B></FONT>
</P>
<P>The data to encode can be entered at
the command line using the -d option, for example:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
-d 'This Text'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>This will encode the text <I>This Text</I>.
Zint will use the default symbology, Code 128, and output to the
default file out.png in the current directory.
</P>
<P><A NAME="OUTPUT"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.2
Directing Output</B></FONT></P>
<P>Output can be directed to a file other
than the default using the -o switch. For example:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
-o here.png -d 'This Text'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>draws a Code 128 barcode in the file
here.png. If an encapsulated Post Script file is needed simply append
the file name with .eps:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
-o there.eps -d 'This Text'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>Output can also be directed to stdout using the --<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">directeps</FONT>
and --<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">directpng</FONT> switches for
EPS and PNG output respectively.</P>
<P><A NAME="BARTYPE"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.3
Selecting barcode type</B></FONT></P>
<P>Selecting which type of barcode you
wish to produce (i.e. which symbology to use) can be done at the
command line using the -b or --barcode= switch followed by the
appropriate integer value in the following table.</P>

<P><A NAME="HEIGHT"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.4 Adjusting height</B></FONT></P>
<P>The height of the symbol can be adjusted using the --height
switch. For example:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint --height=100 -d
'This Text'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>specifies a symbol height of 100 times the <I>x-resolution</I> of
the symbol.</P>
<P><A NAME="WHITESPACE"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.5
Adjusting whitespace</B></FONT></P>
<P>The amount of whitespace to the left
and right of the generated barcode can be altered using the -w
switch. For example:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
-w 10 -d 'This Text'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>specifies a whitespace width of 10
times the <I>x-resolution</I> of the symbol.</P>
<P><A NAME="BOUNDARY"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.6
Adding boundary bars and boxes</B></FONT></P>
<P>Zint allows the symbol to be bound with
'boundary bars' using the option --bind. These bars help to prevent
misreading of the symbol by corrupting a scan if the scanning beam
strays off the top or bottom of the symbol. Zint can also put a
border right around the symbol and its whitespace with the --box
option. This option is automatically chosen for ITF-14 symbols.</P>
<P>The width of the boundary or box can be
specified using the --border switch. For example:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
--box --border=10 -d 'This'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>gives a box with a width 10 times the
<I>x-resolution</I> of the symbol.</P>

</TABLE>
<P><A NAME="COLOUR"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.7
Using colour</B></FONT></P>
<P>The default colours of a symbol are a
black symbol on a white background. Zint allows you to change this.
The -r switch allows the default colours to be inverted so that a
white symbol is shown on a black background. For example the command</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
-r -d 'This'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>gives an inverted Code 128 symbol. This
is not practical for most symbologies but white-on-black is allowed
by the Data Matrix and Aztec Code symbology specifications.</P>
<P>For more specific needs the foreground
and background colours can be specified using the <FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--fg=</FONT>
and <FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--bg=</FONT> options followed by
a number in RGB hexadecimal notation (the same system used in HTML).
For example the command
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2>zint
--fg=004700 -d 'This'</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>alters the symbol to a dark green as
shown below.</P>

<P><A NAME="SCALE"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.9
Adjusting image size</B></FONT></P>
<P>The scale of the image can be altered
using the <FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--scale=</FONT> option
followed by a multiple of the default x-dimension. For example for
PNG images a scale of 5 will increase the x-dimension to 10 pixels.
Note that Maxicode symbols output as PNG images cannot be scaled in
this way and that text added to a barcode in PNG images does not
change size.
</P>
<P><A NAME="NULL"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.10
Handling NULL Characters</B></FONT></P>
<P>Some symbologies support encoding of
the NULL character (ASCII 0) normally used to indicate the end of a
character string. To support this functionality the <FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--null=</FONT>
option allows you to substitute another character for NULL. Enter the
decimal number for the character you wish to substitute. For example
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--null=21</FONT> instructs Zint to
treat the NAK control character as a NULL character. Values between 1
and 128 are valid. This applies to Codablock-F, Code 128,
Code 16k, Extended Code 39, Code 93, Maxicode, PDF417, MicroPDF417,
Data Matrix (ECC 200 only) and Telepen.</P>
<P><A NAME="INMODE"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.11
Input modes</B></FONT></P>
<P>GS1 data can be encoded in a number of symbologies. Application
identifiers are enclosed in [square brackets] followed by the data to
be encoded (see 5.1.12.3). To encode GS1 data use
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--gs1</FONT>. GS1 mode is assumed
(and doesn't need to be set) for EAN-128, DataBar and Composite symbologies
but is also available for Code 16k, Codablock-F, Data Matrix (ECC 200 only),
and Aztec Code.</P>
<P>QR Code can encode Kaji characters. This can be accessed using the
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">--kanji</FONT> option.</P>
<P><A NAME="OTHER"></A><FONT SIZE=5><B>3.12
Other options</B></FONT></P>
<P>Additional options are available which
are specific to certain symbologies. These may, for example, control
the quantity of error correction data or the size of the symbol.
These options are discussed in section 5 of this guide.</P>
