[PLUG] QR Code generator with text label
I have been looking for something that will generate QR codes to create labels, I also want to add a short human readable line on the label but so far I have not found a single step Linux solution to do so. What I want is the QR code and above or below it a short human readable description. I can find windows stuff that will do it and I can find some on line generators, but not sure that they would like it if I did a whole parts inventory. I see some people have used other applications to overlay the QR code onto something with the text or vice versa, but I want something that is reasonably simple to use and runs on Linux so that I can set it up for non-tech types to use. -- Chuck Hast -- KP4DJT -- Glass, five thousand years of history and getting better.

Re: [PLUG] QR Code generator with text label
I have qrencode on my machine and have been playing around with it, I also have qreator which is a gui, but both of them just generate the QR code, so I will have to figure out what I can do to merge a QR code with a short line of text for the label. Also did not find the python2 references using Synaptic. The search was done using pacman, was that Arch?

Also did not find the python2 references using Synaptic. The search was done using pacman, was that Arch? Yes, he seems to be on an Arch system. QR codes are image files. The online generator I just checked creates JPG, EPS, or SVG. So if you think about the issue as how do I add text to my image ... it gets (?) easier. If you go the JPG route you could use imagemagik to add the text you want. Plenty of online information on how to do that. Using an SVG - if the file they generate is sane - could also have text added without too much pain. -- Michael Rasmussen, Portland Oregon Be Appropriate Follow Your Curiosity May the best days of your past be the worst days of your future. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
