Public API changes and backwards compatibility

GS1Aztec barcode type was added to DecodeType and EncodeTypes. GS_1_AZTEC and GS_1_COMPOSITE_BAR added to com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.DecodeType GS_1_AZTEC added to Generation.EncodeTypes Class com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.AztecExtendedParameters was added It has methods: getStructuredAppendBarcodesCount():int getStructuredAppendBarcodeId():int getStructuredAppendFileId():String isReaderInitialization():boolean

New public methods have been added to the com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.BarCodeExtendedParameters of BarCodeResult with the following methods: getAztec():AztecExtendedParameters getGS1CompositeBar():GS1CompositeBarExtendedParameters

New public methods have been added to the com.aspose.barcode.generation.AztecParameters getAztecEncodeMode():AztecEncodeMode setAztecEncodeMode(AztecEncodeMode):void getECIEncoding():int setECIEncoding(int):void getStructuredAppendBarcodeId():int setStructuredAppendBarcodeId(int) getStructuredAppendBarcodesCount():int setStructuredAppendBarcodesCount(int):void getStructuredAppendFileId():String setStructuredAppendFileId(String):void

Sample generation and recognition code:

String codetext = "犬Right狗";
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.AZTEC, codetext);
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setECIEncoding(ECIEncodings.UTF8);
generator.save(filePath, BarCodeImageFormat.PNG);
BufferedImage image = generator.generateBarCodeImage();
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(image, DecodeType.AZTEC);
BarCodeResult[] barCodeResults = reader.readBarCodes();
System.out.println("Codetext: " + barCodeResults[0].getCodeText());

New public enum AztecEncodeMode has been added with AUTO (default), BYTES and EXTENDED_CODETEXT values.

//Bytes mode
byte[] encodedArr = {(byte)0xFF, (byte)0xFE, (byte)0xFD, (byte)0xFC, (byte)0xFB, (byte)0xFA, (byte)0xF9};
//encode array to string
StringBuilder strBld = new StringBuilder();
for (byte bval : encodedArr)
{
   strBld.append((char) bval);
}
String codetext = strBld.toString();
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.AZTEC, codetext);
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setAztecEncodeMode(AztecEncodeMode.BYTES);
generator.save(filePath + "APITests2.png", BarCodeImageFormat.PNG);

New public class com.aspose.barcode.generation.AztecExtCodetextBuilder has been added. This class can be used for generating codetext for ExtendedCodetext Mode of AztecEncodeMode.

Sample generation and recognition code:

//create codetext
AztecExtCodetextBuilder textBuilder = new AztecExtCodetextBuilder();
textBuilder.addECICodetext(ECIEncodings.UTF8, "犬Right狗");
textBuilder.addPlainCodetext("Plain text");

//generate codetext
String codetext = textBuilder.getExtendedCodetext();

//generate Aztec
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.AZTEC, codetext);
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getCodeTextParameters().setTwoDDisplayText("Extended Codetext");

//set encode mode to ExtendedCodetext
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setAztecEncodeMode(AztecEncodeMode.EXTENDED_CODETEXT);

//try to recognize
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.generateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.AZTEC);
for (BarCodeResult result : reader.readBarCodes())
{
  System.out.println("AztecExtendedCodetext:" + result.getCodeText());
}

New public methods have been added to the com.aspose.barcode.generation.AztecParameters getStructuredAppendBarcodeId():int setStructuredAppendBarcodeId(int):void getStructuredAppendBarcodesCount:int setStructuredAppendBarcodesCount(int):void getStructuredAppendFileId():String setStructuredAppendFileId(String):void

Sample generation and recognition code:

BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.AZTEC, "Aspose");
//set Aztec strucutured append mode
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setStructuredAppendBarcodeId(3);
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setStructuredAppendBarcodesCount(5);
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setStructuredAppendFileId("ABCD");
BufferedImage image = generator.generateBarCodeImage();
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(image, DecodeType.AZTEC);
reader.readBarCodes();
System.out.println("Barcode ID: " + reader.getFoundBarCodes()[0].getExtended().getAztec().getStructuredAppendBarcodeId());
System.out.println("Barcodes count: " + reader.getFoundBarCodes()[0].getExtended().getAztec().getStructuredAppendBarcodesCount());
System.out.println("File ID: " + reader.getFoundBarCodes()[0].getExtended().getAztec().getStructuredAppendFileId());

New public methods have been added to the com.aspose.barcode.generation.AztecParameters isReaderInitialization():doolean setReaderInitialization(boolean):void

Sample generation and recognition code:

BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.AZTEC, "Aspose");
//set flag that indicates that data is encoded for reader programming
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setReaderInitialization(true);
BufferedImage image = generator.generateBarCodeImage();
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(image, DecodeType.AZTEC);
reader.readBarCodes();
System.out.println("Is reader programming: " + reader.getFoundBarCodes()[0].getExtended().getAztec().isReaderInitialization());

New public methods have been added to the com.aspose.barcode.generation.AztecParameters getLayersCount():int setLayersCount(int):void Sample generation and recognition code:

BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.AZTEC, "Aspose");
generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getAztec().setLayersCount(8);
BufferedImage image = generator.generateBarCodeImage();
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(image, DecodeType.AZTEC);
reader.readBarCodes();
System.out.println("Codetext:" + reader.getFoundBarCodes()[0].getCodeText());
