Changing a Barcode

Working with Barcodes
A Barcode element represents a barcode graphic generated from user input.
Barcodes are generated following industry standard symbology. A typical barcode
is composed of vertical lines (bars) and spaces of varying thickness, depending
on the text entered. It can also include "human readable text." Human readable
text is the data entered that makes up the barcode. Because you cannot read bars
and spaces, you can have the actual text that makes up the barcode display.
Barcode elements support vertical resizing (height) only. The width of the barcode
is based on data and symbology and cannot be changed. However, some
barcode widths (depending on symbology used) can be altered by changing the
ratio and density of the bar code.
Barcode data can be displayed in the same line as other data (text or symbols). It
is not necessary to have a separate area for the barcode. Barcode data on the
same line as text will not overwrite the text already on the line but will be placed
next to it.
Like other object elements on the printer, barcode elements can be positioned,
aligned, and rotated.
