HTML::Barcode::Code93 - Generate HTML representations of Code 93 barcodes
my $code = HTML::Barcode::Code93->new(text => 'MONKEY'); print $code->render;
This class allows you to easily create HTML representations of Code 93 barcodes.
Here is an example of a Code 93 barcode rendered with this module:
You can read more about Code 93 online (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_93).
Instantiate a new HTML::Barcode::Code93 object. The %attributes hash requires the "text" attribute, and can take any of the other attributes listed below.
%attributes
This is a convenience routine which returns <style>...</style> tags and the rendered barcode.
<style>...</style>
If you are printing multiple barcodes or want to ensure your style tags are in your HTML headers, then you probably want to output the barcode and style separately with "render_barcode" and "css".
style
Returns only the rendered barcode. You will need to provide stylesheets separately, either writing them yourself or using the output of "css".
Returns CSS needed to properly display your rendered barcode. This is only necessary if you are using "render_barcode" instead of the easier "render" method.
These attributes can be passed to new, or used as accessors.
Required - The information to put into the barcode.
A CSS color value (e.g. '#000' or 'black') for the foreground. Default is '#000'.
A CSS color value background. Default is '#fff'.
A CSS value for the width of an individual bar. Default is '2px'.
A CSS value for the height of an individual bar. Default is '100px'.
Boolean, default true. Indicates whether or not to render the text below the barcode.
The value for the class attribute applied to any container tags in the HTML (e.g. table or div). td tags within the table will have either css_class_on or css_class_off classes applied to them.
class
table
div
td
For example, if css_class is "barcode", you will get <table class="barcode"> and its cells will be either <td class="barcode_on"> or <td class="barcode_off">.
<table class="barcode">
<td class="barcode_on">
<td class="barcode_off">
Rather than rendering CSS stylesheets, embed the style information in HTML style attributes. You should not use this option without good reason, as it greatly increases the size of the generated markup, and makes it impossible to override with stylesheets.
