Resize Barcode

[Dysan]

The following code, creates a barcode containing a value of "111111".  Upon changing the string to "101010", the barcode resizes outside outside the boundarys of the surround square.

 

How do I keep the bar code inside the square, regardless of it's containing value?

The value will change, but will always be 6 characters in length!

 

Many Thanks,

 

Dysan

Use a monospace font and adjust your image size accordingly. With monospace fonts, all characters are the same width. For example:

 

101010101010101010

111111111111111111

 

As opposed to:

 

101010101010101010

111111111111111111
