Barcode Generator

The Barcode Generator is a simple API to generate barcodes directly from the Scandit SDK. This document describes the JSON format understood by the sc_barcode_generator_set_options() function.

General Options​

  • foregroundColor: 4-tuple of integers [r, g, b, a] with r, g, b and a being in the range [0, 255]
  • backgroundColor: 4-tuple of integers [r, g, b, a] with r, g, b and a being in the range [0, 255]

QR Code​

  • errorCorrectionLevel: string, may be "L" (up to 7% damage), "M" (up to 15% damage), "Q" (up to 25% damage) or "H" (up to 30% damage). Default correction level is "M".
  • versionNumber: positive integer, overrides desired version number. Version number is automatically chosen if not set. Barcode generation might fail if version number is too small. 
    {
        "foregroundColor" :  [ 255, 0, 0, 255 ],
        "backgroundColor" :  [ 0, 0, 255, 255 ],
        "errorCorrectionLevel": "Q"
    }
