Barcode Height

2004-07-10 21:33

I downloaded the last version of IReport and am pleased to see the new Barcode integration. The one problem I have with it is that the height of the barcode seems fixed to about 1 cm (when generating a pdf), and that is too short for the people I am building the report for.

 

The requirement is to have one at least 3..4 CM high on the page. Adjusting the width of the barcode field does affect the spacing within the barcode, but changing the height does nothing.

 

I'm not sure if this is a limitation in iReport, JasperReports or the Itext tool. I've looked at the source code to iReport and don't see a paramater the set the barcode height in calls into Jasper Reports.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I looked at the barbecue source code and found two useful methods:

 

setBarHeight()

setBarWidth()

 

It would be nice to make these two properties accessible inside the barcode graphic component.

 

For now, I've modified the source code to set the property values I need when creating the 128C barcode.

For now there is no solution, the phisical barcode height is fixed.

 

We'll provide a solution but for now the only way is to modify the class that produce the barcode image imposing a better height .

Giulio,

 

Are you still planning on addressing the barcode height issue within iReports?
