Hi All,

How can we expand the width of a barcode image ? I found that if I add 1 px to the width of the bitmap image it will become useless (I mean it can't read by my barcode reader). Please tell me the height and width ratio of barcode image...

Thanks a lot in advance....

It isn't a height/width thing: barcodes are based on the relative widths of the four bar sizes - which applies equally to the light bar set and the dark bar set. Any tweaking of an image of a barcode will almost certainly reduce the readability, and quite likely render it unreadable.

Expand the width of the image at source - i.e. when you generate it, do not attempt to change them once created.
