The Javadoc pages are located in the javadoc subdirectory of the component's ZIP file.

 

Examples

The use of the component is very simple. You must follow these steps:

  1. Create AztecCodeReader instance:

    AztectCodeReader reader=new AztectCodeReader();


  2. Load your image into a BufferedImage class. The application AztecSample.java includes a method called loadImage() you can use for this purpose.

    Image image=loadImage("myFile.gif");

  3. Create a RImage instance and call the read() method of the AztecCodeReader

    AztecData[] barcodes=reader.scan(new RImage((BufferedImage) im));

  4. Read the result array. The members of the array are AztecData objects which contain the following information:

The component includes a simple test program called AztecSample.java that will scan all files located in the images subdiretory.

You can optimize (speed up) the scanning process by setting these reader's properties:

this setup ignores barcodes whose center is not between minModuleSize and maxModuleSize
