VB Code to Generate Customized EAN-13 on Document Image

The VB code demo below contains all parameters that VB developers can use to create a customized EAN-13 barcode on target image file. For example, you can adjust the size, color, font style and generating orientation of created EAN-13 barcode by VB code.

'create REImage on which you want to draw the barcode
Dim reImage As REImage = New REImage("c:/Sample.png")

'create a barcode
Dim barcode As Linear  = New Linear()
barcode.Type = BarcodeType.EAN13
'set barcode data 
barcode.Data = "012345678901"

'EAN-13 barcode size related
'set x,y position
barcode.X = 1.0F
barcode.Y = 60.0F
barcode.BarcodeHeight = 60
barcode.BarcodeWidth = 0
barcode.BottomMargin = 0
barcode.LeftMargin = 0
barcode.RightMargin = 0
barcode.BarAlignment = AlignmentHori.Left
'set resolution
barcode.Resolution = 96
'set rotation
barcode.Rotate = Rotate.Rotate0
barcode.AddCheckSum = false
barcode.UOM = UnitOfMeasure.PIXEL

'EAN-13 colors
barcode.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
barcode.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black

'EAN-13 font style
barcode.TextFont = New Font("Arial", 9f, FontStyle.Regular)
barcode.TextColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
barcode.TextMargin = 6
barcode.ShowText = true

'EAN-13 special
'barcode.SupData = ""
'barcode.SupHeight = 0.8f
'barcode.SupSpace = 15

'draw barcode on REImage with location x and y
barcode.DrawBarcode(reImage, 0, 0)

reImage.Save(ImageType.PNG, "c:/barcode.png")
