GS1-128 Generation in .NET Winforms - Barcode Scaling Support
Module Bar Size
The width of module bar is managed by BarWidth; the height of bar is controlled by BarHeight.
Margins Width
Increasing the width of margins around the symbol is one way to enhance the readability of the GS1-128 barcode image. The control library set the left, right, top, and bottom margins separately with float values.
Image Size
If the breakdown parameters are not provided, you can set the width and height of the barcode image directly. Once you enabled the image resize function, you only need to provide the size of entire barcode image. This intelligent GS1-128 will draw the barcode with reasonable parameters. The generated GS1-128 is 100% compatible with GS1-128 Barcode Standards.
