Re: Generate an odd number's code128 barcode

f...@free.fr (zzzer) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:33:20 UT

If Code128 is just able to code pair numbers, so why can AxelCodBar do
it ?
Have you got an idea about how I can bypass the problem ?

That's what I don't want to do ^^
I d'want to code all into C mode...

or C mode ?
Hi,
The short answer is that you need to manually switch alphabets to
catch the final odd digit (or at least cater for this in your Ruby
application). I intend to write an efficient auto-encoder for Code128
as soon as I have finished the auto-encoder for Aztec Code or maybe
even beforehand as the task should be reasonably simple.

Generate an odd number's code128 barcode

Hello,

I'd like to generate a Code128C barcode from a non-pair number (11
digits).

When I try it with RGhost_barcode, it doesn't work.

But when I try it with AxelCodBar (downloadable here :
[link]), it works fine !

Do you know how I can do with Rghost_barcode without changing the A, B

Hi Robert,
"readerinit" refers to a special class of Aztec Code symbol that is
used for programming compatible barcode scanners. The message content
is specific to the particular hardware that you are programming, the
purpose being that the data encoded in such symbols is used to update
the device's scanning parameters and would not normally be presented

Hi Terry

I analyzed Your code in barcode.ps (aztec scrap) and I'm not sure what
the readerinit means.
Can You explain this parameter in details (always 'false' inYour
code) ?

best regards
Robert

ps. I've never seen postscript language before .. It's smart-funny
stack language.
My brain is my debugger :) I translated Your code (aztec scrap)

The -p param doesn't work, so I've downloaded the gem files and it's
now ok.

Thanks ;)

Hi Terry,

Yes, the latest release of BWIPP has a huge increase in performance
when dealing with the OneCode barcode!

Thanks!

Hi Richard.
Glad to hear it. In my tests the VM's usertime dropped from 380ms to
0ms (at a resolution of 10ms). The fix was one of those awkward
tradeoffs between (1) keeping the small but potentially costly table
generation algorithm for human significance or (2) embedding a large
and mysterious table of constants. In this case it was clearly better

Hi Terry,
The latest (2008-07-10) implementation of OneCode is *Much* faster -
thanks.

I made some changes as follows to the size of the OneCode barcodes:-

/height 0.150 def % Was /height 0.175 def

then:-

/bbs 65 array def
/bhs 65 array def
0 1 64 {
/i exch def

I think this issue isn't about barcodes, but "excuse me Terry I will answer
it" :)
You can fix the problem using the param -p to set proxy or get the gem files
and make the manual instalação .

Error while executing gem install -y rghost_barcode

f...@free.fr (zzzer) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:58:12 UT

Hello,

I've programmed a little RGhost_barcode.
On my PC (under Windows 2000), the installation of Ruby and its
plugins work very well.

I wanted to show it to my boss (under Windows XP), but when I execute
(on his PC) the command gem install -y rghost_barcode there's an
error :

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchErro r)

Hi Jean-François,
I've just run some basic profiling on the encoder and (unsurprisingly)
I find that almost all of the processing time is spent in the two
routines that look like this:
--------8<--------
% Conversion from codewords to characters
/tab513 1287 dict def
/lo 0 def
