Barcode Object Element

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. (See
page 68
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 BBP
