If you don't have the logic already to actually generate that barcode, I suggest to have a look at the barcode4j project. http://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/ It is under Apache License v2 > I'm new in writing plugins, so I would like > to ask if someone can help in dealing with the > interfacing with OO while I can write the barcode > handling code. See above. You don't need to reinvent the whell :-) Basically the tough thing is embedding the generated graphic into the document. I was having trouble with this as well, but got around it using an idea from Danny Brewer (using the BitmapTable to get the graphic into the container): http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Writer/Writer.EmbedAGraphicIntoATextdocument.snip > If things goes well, support for other > 1D and 2D barcode symbologies will be added. Others were faster :-)) (but maybe you could do the same in another programming language) ciao Christian -- NP: Bif Naked - Any Day Now --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
