Welcome to the UIC-barcode wiki!

The UIC barcode project provides a library to encode and decode the bar code content of bar codes according to the UIC IRS 90918-9 and the EU TAP-TSI TD B.5.

IRS 90918-9 specifies two different types of header frames, the Static Frame and the Dynamic Frame. Both are supported by the library.

• HowTo encode the static frame

• HowTo encode the dynamic frame level 1

• HowTo encode the dynamic frame level 2

• HowTo decode the content

barcode creation

The writing of the bar code is out of scope of the library as there are other solutions available:

###e.g. ZXing:

		String contents = new String(content,StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1);
		
		AztecWriter aztecWriter = new AztecWriter();
		HashMap<EncodeHintType,Object> hints = new HashMap<EncodeHintType,Object>();
		hints.put(EncodeHintType.ERROR_CORRECTION,Integer.toString(errorBits));
		
		BitMatrix bitMatrix = aztecWriter.encode(contents, BarcodeFormat.AZTEC, 100, 100, hints);
	
		if (bitMatrix == null) return null;
		return  MatrixToImageWriter.toBufferedImage(bitMatrix);
