The barcode object will create an image coded to represent a text string. The image on the screen can be scanned to retrieve the text string, for instance a link to a product web site, a product code, or an email address.


Creating a Barcode object

In the Objects tab, double-click on the icon (QR or DataMatrix, see below) or click on it and draw it to where you want it on the edit area. A dialog asking for the initial string to create the barcode from is presented. You may later right-click the object and select Edit to edit the specific settings for the image.
