Method Detail

drawBar

int drawBar(int x,
          int y,
          int width,
          int height,
          boolean paintWithForegroundColor)
            throws OutputException

"Draws" a bar at the given coordinates.

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate

y - the y coordinate

width - the width

height - the height

paintWithForegroundColor - if true, use the foreground color, otherwise use the background color

Returns:

the width of the bar drawn

Throws:

OutputException

beginDraw

void beginDraw()
               throws OutputException

Sets up the drawing environment. Called before drawing starts. Matched with call to endDraw() at the end. This allows for caching as needed.

Throws:

OutputException

endDraw

void endDraw(int width,
           int height)
             throws OutputException

Balanced with startDraw(), used for caching, output of epilogues.

Parameters:

width - The output width (in pixels) of the barcode

height - The output height (in pixels) of the barcode.

Throws:

OutputException

drawText

int drawText(String text,
           LabelLayout layout)
             throws OutputException

Draw the specified text.

Parameters:

text - text to draw

layout - the text layout calculator

Returns:

the height of this text

Throws:

OutputException

toggleDrawingColor

void toggleDrawingColor()

Swaps the foreground and background colours of the output.

paintBackground

void paintBackground(int x,
                   int y,
                   int width,
                   int height)

Paint the background the background colour, based on the height and the width.

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate

y - the y coordinate

width - the width to be painted
