OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail, Australia Post
OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail and Australia Post are some of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see Barcode.
The barcode can be added either using the Barcode toolbar button or through selecting Insert > Barcode on the menu; see Adding a Barcode.
Initially the barcode will have the barcode type's default properties. To change those properties, such as the scale and color, open the Barcode properties dialog: right-click the barcode (on the Design tab in the Workspace) and select the barcode type on the shortcut menu.
Barcode properties
This topic lists the properties of the barcode types OneCode, KIX Code, Royal Mail and Australia Post. For the properties of other barcode types, see Barcode properties.
Height, width and spacing
The height, width and spacing of the barcode are all measured in pixels (38 dpi).
- Bar height: the height
of the (shorter) bars
- Extended bar height: the
total height of the extended bars
- Bar width: the width of
the bars
- Spacing: the distance between
the bars
Scale
Defines if and how
the rendered barcode is scaled in relation to the parent element:
- None: The barcode is rendered
based on the module width.
- Fit to box: The barcode
is stretched to fit the parent box in both width and height.
- Proportionally: The barcode
is stretched up to where it fits either the width or height of the parent box, whichever
requires the less stretching.
Color
The Color property allows you to choose a different Barcode color (instead of black) and Background color (instead of white), by typing a hexadecimal color value (see for example w3school's color picker).
Output format
Defines how
the barcode is output on the page. There are two possible formats:
- SVG: Vector format. This is
smaller in size, but not compatible with Email output.
- PNG: Binary rasterized
format. This is slightly larger than SVG but will display properly
in Email output.
