QR/Barcode settings tab
By default this tab is set to QR codes and these default to being
black on a white background. There are also over a dozen different
barcode formats you can use if required. Each barcode format has it's
own set of options which appear on the left side of this tab. Stick
with the default options unless you have a deep understanding of a
particular barcode format. On the right side there are the standard
options such as colours and fonts.
Always test your presentation with a smart phone after creating a QR to make
sure that your QR code can be easily scanned and also that it is taking the
user to the correct website address. The easiest QR codes to scan are
black ones on a white or light background. With our Repeat Pictures system,
you can set have a transparent background with your QR codes so that they
can sit on top of pictures. Please make sure you place them over a
light coloured area if you use this feature.
General options for QR codes and all barcodes
Show text - Whether or not the barcode number or QR code text is
displayed along side the barcode/QR code. With QR codes, it is not
normally displayed. With barcodes, there is usually a number
underneath the barcode.
Auto stretch - By default, we stretch the barcode to fill the
control area. If this is not ticked, then you can end up with an error
message until your resize the actual control to a valid shape.
Fore colour - The colour of the barcode/QR code and any text.
Back colour - The background colour, which will usually be white.
Horizontal align - The horizontal alignment of the barcode.
Vertical align - The vertical alignment of the barcode.
Text h. align - The horizontal alignment of the text. Text is
only displayed if the 'Show text' box is ticked.
Text v. align - The vertical alignment of the barcode. Text is
only displayed if the 'Show text' box is ticked.
Font - The font and size to be used. Text is only displayed
if the 'Show text' box is ticked.
