Remarks

The PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions class is used to control the options when reading POSTNET and PLANET barcodes using LEADTOOLS. Set the options in two ways:

The BarcodeReader class contains default options for each barcode symbology (or group of common symbologies). These options can be retrieved using the BarcodeReader.GetDefaultOptions method passing one of the following:

Change the members of the returned PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions by casting it from BarcodeReadOptions to PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions.

You can also create an instance of the PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions class and use it directly in the BarcodeReader.ReadBarcode and BarcodeReader.ReadBarcodes methods that accept a single or array of options as an input parameter.

The base BarcodeReadOptions contains the following members and features:

Member	Description
BarcodeReadOptions.ForeColor	Controls the barcode foreground color (color of the bars or symbols) to use when reading a barcode from a colored image.
BarcodeReadOptions.BackColor	Controls the barcode background color (color of the spaces) to use when reading a barcode from a colored image.
BarcodeReadOptions.Load and BarcodeReadOptions.Save	Can be used to save or load the options to/from an XML file or stream.
BarcodeReadOptions.GetSupportedSymbologies	This class overrides the base class method to return an array containing the following symbologies: BarcodeSymbology.PostNet and BarcodeSymbology.Planet

In addition to the features and members, the PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions contains these POSTNET/PLANET barcodes specific features:

Member	Description
SearchDirection	The direction to use when searching for barcodes (horizontal, vertical or both)
Granularity	The number of scanned lines per column to skip when reading a barcode
WhiteLinesNumber	The minimum number of lines of white space above and below the barcode symbol
ReturnCheckDigit	The error check digit is returned as part of the barcode data

Example

This example writes a POSTNET and a PLANET barcodes to an image and then reads them back.
