- .TH LASERBAR 1
- .SH NAME
- laserbar \- produce bar codes on a PostScript laser printer
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B laserbar
- [\fB-r\fP rotate] [\fB-x\fP xoffset] [\fB-y\fP yoffset]
- [\fB-X\fP xscale] [\fB-Y\fP yscale] [\fB-lns\fP] string
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .I Laserbar
- prints on the standard output the PostScript text that will produce
- (on a suitable laser printer) the \s-2CODE-39\s+2 bar code
- corresponding to
- .I string.
- The \fBr\fP option may be used to specify a rotation (in
- degrees) of the bar code.
- The \fBx\fP, \fBy\fP, \fBX\fP, and \fBY\fP options may be used to specify
- an x- or y-axis offset (in inches) or scaling factor, respectively.
- (The offset is measured from the lower left corner of the page
- to the upper left corner of the bar
- code. By default, the bar code produced is one inch high, and is scaled
- so that the narrowest elements are each 1/72-inch \- i.e., one point \- wide.)
- If the \fBl\fP option is specified, the bar code produced is labeled.
- If the \fBn\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text
- includes a leading \f(CWnewpath\fP command, so that the text may stand
- alone or precede any other PostScript commands.
- If the \fBs\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text includes
- a trailing \f(CWshowpage\fP command, so that the text may stand alone
- or follow any other PostScript commands.
- .P
