the uk mirror.
please replace all files with the existing ones in
/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-barcode/
The pst-barcode package allows printing of barcodes.
Possible barcodes are:
EAN-13 -- EAN-8 -- UPC-A -- UPC-E -- EAN-5 -- EAN-2 --
ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 -- Code-39 -- Code-128 and UCC/EAN-128 --
Rationalized Codabar -- Interleaved 2 of 5 and ITF-14 --
Code 2 of 5 -- Postnet -- Royal Mail --
Kix (Customer index) - Dutch Mail -- Australian postal service --
onecode -- Symbol -- MSI -- Plessey -- Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) --
rss14 -- rsslimited -- rssexpanded
i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue.
thanks for the upload
this new version has the following changes:
- pst-barcode.tex
0.04 2006-07-23 - printing the code from the current point and
no more from the origin
0.03 2005-07-26 - Changes to the documentation and the syntax
of psbarcode (hv)
0.02 2005-07-26 - first version (hv)
- pst-barcode.sty
0.02 2006-07-23 message for pst-barcode.pro loading
0.01 2005-07-26 first version (hv)
- pst-barcode.pro
2006-03-04 - An encoder for the Reduced Space Symbology
RSS Expanded was added.
- The incorrect definition of the USPS FIM-B symbol
was fixed.
- An encoder for the Reduced Space Symbology RSS Limited
was added.
The efficiency of RSS-14 was improved.
- An encoder for the new OneCode symbology used by the US
Postal Service was added.
- The FIM symbols now render according to their
specification.
- The Postnet, Royal Mail, AusPost and KIX encoders
were amended
so that the metrics of their default symbols confirms
strongly to their respective specifications.
- The encoders now pass an array containing the widths of the
bar space succession to the renderer allowing for sub-point
horizontal precision.
- The default border positions for EAN and UPC symbols were
amended to properly enclose the human readable text.
- The colour support code was fixed to prevent overwriting of
the current colour when values are left unspecified.
- The logic to guard whitespace in EAN symbols was migrated
from the encoders to the renderer.
- The whitespace guard symbols are now drawn directly making
them
independant of any font.
- The inter-guard bar height of EANs and UPCs was amended.
- The renderer was amended to support the passing of encoder
specific arguments.
- The options barcolor, textcolor, bordercolor,
showbackground
and backgroundcolor were added to the renderer.
- A flaw in the derivation of the top border height was
fixed.
- add support for the new ISBN-13
- printing the code from the current point
- The performance of the renderer was improved by avoiding
unnecessary calls of setfont
- The auspost encoder was extended to support the customer
information field.
