LazBarcodes

About

LazBarcodes is a set of controls to create 1D and 2D barcodes. The backend engine is a port of Zint at sourceforge. Some units were heavily refactored to obtain a more Pascal-like code.

The library supports the generation of 1D and 2D barcodes:

• 1D barcodes
  • TLazBarcodeC11: Code-11: max 121 numeric characters ('0'..'9')
  • TLazBarcodeC128: Supports two types
    • Code-128: max 160 text characters (ASCII)
    • UCC/EAN-128, also known as GS1-128: variable length depending on "Appication Identifier" to be given in square brackets. Numeric characters only.

• 2D barcodes
  • TLazBarcodeQR: QR Code [1]
  • TLazBarcodeMicroQR: MicroQR [2]
  • TLazBarcodeAztec: Aztec Code [3]
  • TLazBarcodeAztecRun: Aztec Rune [4]
  • TLazBarcodeDataMatrix: DataMatrix [5]

The download contains the packages "lazbarcodes" and "lazbarcodes_runtimeonly". The first one gives you visual components of the above barcodes and the second can be used just to access the ported zint code for advanced barcode generation.
