Why not a fast, flexible and reliable solution? 3 things are needed:
o Java routines to calculate barcode rectangles and label areas depending
from barcode type and its parameters. Possibly such routines are freely
available. Otherwise: give me the specs, I will write the code (the nowadays
popular datamatrix will be harder) and somebody has to run scan tests.
o Java code to render the rectangles: very easy in PDF
o Handy XSL:FO Input. My experimental hack below is functionally OK allowing
barcode type selection with appropriate parameters. The renderer extensions
is quite easy and elegant.
