Please copy the sample code as follow to generator a PLANET barcode.

'create a barcode
Dim barcode As Linear = New Linear()
'select barcode type
barcode.Type = BarcodeType.PLANET
'set barcode data
barcode.Data = "01234567890"
'set x,y position

'convert barcode to a bitmap and save it to image file
'Dim bmp As Bitmap = barcode.ToImage()
'bmp.Save("C:\\barcode.bmp")

VB to Create PLANET Barcode on Png, Jpeg, Gif and Bmp

.NET developers can use this barcode add-on component to create PLANET linear barcodes in VB projects. All the major raster image formats are supported for barcode generating, such as png, jpg, gif, and bmp. Users can create a single barcode or a number of bar codes on image file, and at the same time, you can freely define the exact area on the image where you want to put PLANET barcode. Demonstrated below is an example to write a PLANET postal bar code on a png image and save the image file to your local disk C.

Dim image As REImage  = New REImage("C:\\Sample.png")
barcode.DrawBarcode(image, 150F, 150F)
image.Save(ImageType.PNG, "C:\\Sample_Barcode.png")

Create PLANET on PDF, TIFF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Apart from printing PLANET 1D bar code on an image, users can also opt to generate PLANET barcode onto a single page within a document file, including PDF, Microsoft Office Word, (multi-page) TIFF, Excel and PowerPoint. You can control the accurate barcode location on the page by setting x and y coordinates using Visual VB programming language.
