Barcode

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 width 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. Any text in the same line as the barcode will align on the
baseline with the barcode.
