Constructor Detail

BarcodeQRCode

public BarcodeQRCode(String code,
                     Map<EncodeHintType,Object> hints)

Creates the QR barcode.

Parameters:

code - the text to be encoded

hints - barcode hints. See #setHints for description.

BarcodeQRCode

public BarcodeQRCode(String content)

Creates the QR barcode with default error correction level (ErrorCorrectionLevel.L) and default character set (ISO-8859-1).

Parameters:

content - the text to be encoded

BarcodeQRCode

public BarcodeQRCode()

Method Detail

getCode

public String getCode()

Gets the current data.

Returns:

the encoded data

setCode

public void setCode(String code)

Sets the data to be encoded by the barcode. If not specified in hints otherwise, the character set should be ISO-8859-1.

Parameters:

code - The data to encode

getHints

public Map<EncodeHintType,Object> getHints()

Returns:

modifiers to change the way the barcode is created.

setHints

public void setHints(Map<EncodeHintType,Object> hints)

Parameters:

hints - modifiers to change the way the barcode is created. They can be EncodeHintType.ERROR_CORRECTION and EncodeHintType.CHARACTER_SET. For EncodeHintType.ERROR_CORRECTION the values can be ErrorCorrectionLevel.L, M, Q, H. For EncodeHintType.CHARACTER_SET the values are strings and can be Cp437, Shift_JIS and ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-16. You can also use UTF-8, but correct behaviour is not guaranteed as Unicode is not supported in QRCodes. The default value is ISO-8859-1.

regenerate

public void regenerate()

Regenerates barcode after changes in hints or code.

getBarcodeSize

public com.itextpdf.kernel.geom.Rectangle getBarcodeSize()

Gets the size of the barcode grid

Specified by:

getBarcodeSize in class Barcode2D

Returns:

the size the barcode occupies.

getBarcodeSize

public com.itextpdf.kernel.geom.Rectangle getBarcodeSize(float moduleSize)

Gets the barcode size

Parameters:

moduleSize - The module size

Returns:

The size of the barcode
