Summary0006609: [Barcode] Improve barcode generator with more paremeters in dialogue
DescriptionENHANCEMENT REQUEST

Suggest add dialogue to allow users to specify additional parameters using radio buttons, checkboxes, and value-input boxes, emulating the options available on Terry Burton's on-line generator at <http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/generator/>.

I would like to be able to specify the fonts used in the ISBN generator for the top "ISBN" line and the bottom line, to use OCR-A and OCR-B respectively.

It would also be pleasant if you could specify a height or width (the other dimension sizing proportionately), and be warned if you attempted to make the barcode to dense, with the cycle frequency between bars to low for scanners to differentiate [or just prevent excessively small sizes].

The ability to specify spot colour for the barcode would also be pleasant.
TagsNo tags attached.
PatchNo

how do you expect the dialo should look like after this mockup? Can you paint some proposal in some GUI-creation tool, please?

Because I did not see any improvements over current state (except "options". See below).

Symbology: we have combo box
  Contents: line edit
  Options: some handled with dialog widgets. Some are missing. But personally I'm not sure if it won't be confusing to have all available options in the GUI. See the list: http://groups.google.com/group/postscriptbarcode/web/Options

   Additional parameters
Translate:5050
  Scale:22
  Rotate:

All these settings are handled by scribus itself. You can resize and rotate the barcode as an usual object.

subik, you are right. I guess I should just stick with the aspect that you cannot change in Scribus, i.e. the fonts for any labels associated with various barcode standards.

See attached mockup for specifying fonts for ISBN (other barcodes similar).
