  Hi

  I am working with the RenderBarCode control, specifically using the BarCodeEnum.EAN_13 type, and I would like to ask if it’s possible to dynamically adjust the barcode’s resolution when rendering. My goal is to display the EAN13 barcode within a smaller space than the default size, while maintaining high quality and sharpness.

  Here is an example of our current implementation:

  Dim barcode As New RenderBarCode(BarCodeEnum.EAN_13) With {
      .X = New Unit(766, UnitTypeEnum.Twip),
      .Y = New Unit(1588, UnitTypeEnum.Twip),
      .ShowText = True,
      .Text = "860601860500",
      .Height = 0.5,
      .Width = 0.5
  }
  C1PrintDocument1.Body.Children.Add(barcode)
  C1PrintPreviewControl1.Document = C1PrintDocument1

  In this setup, the barcode width and height are set to 0.5, but I am looking for a way to dynamically adjust the resolution so that the barcode fits within a smaller area without losing quality or data. Is there a way to achieve this?

  Thank you in advance for your assistance!

  Hi Ivan,

  We are very sorry for all the inconvenience this may have caused you.

  Our developers researched on this issue and tried to implement your requirement, but they found out that barcodes must be a certain bar width, so the width is determined by the Barcode value. Therefore, it is not possible to scale down the barcode after a certain limit.

  We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for your understanding.

  Kind Regards,
  
  Aastha
