Bug ID: 153328
Summary: QR code improvement: Use ZXing::ToSVG() instead of our
own ConvertToSVGFormat() function
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]

QR code is a type of 2d barcode that is useful for encoding data, including the
URL, contact information and many other data types. The output can be easily
scanned via applications on mobile phones to capture a URL or import contact
information.
In LibreOffice, it is possible to create different barcodes, either 1d or 2d,
via extensions, or LibreOffice internal functionality.
For QR codes, it is possible to use the internal functionality via Insert > OLE
Object > QR and Barcode:

QR and Barcode
This functionality is implemented using ZXing library:
https://github.com/zxing-cpp/zxing-cpp
If you take a look at the source code in cui/source/dialogs/QrCodeGenDialog.cxx
, there is ConvertToSVGFormat() function which creates the SVG output. In the
recent versions of ZXing library (We use v1.4 right now), there is a function
that does that, ZXing::ToSVG. The task here is to replace the our function with
the better one from ZXing.
