GD::Ba...ial2of5(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5 — it's the iconic little module that creates Industrial2of5 barcode images using GD. yes. that's the whole gig. she's niche, she's specific, she slays 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, ex. CGI first, because we're fancy:

use GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5;
binmode(STDOUT);
print "Content-Type: image/png\n\n";
print GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5->new('1234567890')->plot->png;

and now with Error Check, because we do not do unhandled failure in this house 💅:

my $oGdBar = GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5->new('A12345678');
die $GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5::errStr unless($oGdBar);     #Invalid Characters
$oGdBar->plot->png;

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5 is a subclass of GD::Barcode, and what that means for you, bestie, is that it lets you create Industrial2of5 barcode images with GD. no cap. that's the vibe. ✨

💫 new

$oGdBar = GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5->new($sTxt);

the constructor, obviously 🫶 she makes a GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5 object for $sTxt. and heads up — $sTxt takes numeric characters only ([0-9]). that's it. that's the whole range. periodt.

🦋 plot()

$oGd = $oGdBar->plot([Height => $iHeight, NoText => 0 | 1]);

this one creates a GD object with the barcode image for the $sTxt you specified back at the new method. $iHeight is, you guessed it, the height of the image. and if NoText is 1? the image has no text image of $sTxt. literally no words. silent. mysterious. 💀

ex. for the girlies who like numbers:

my $oGdB = GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5->new('12345678');
my $oGD = $oGdB->plot(NoText=>1, Height => 20);
# $sGD is a GD image with Height=>20 pixels, with no text.

🌸 barcode()

$sPtn = $oGdBar->barcode();

returns a barcode pattern as a string made of '1' and '0'. '1' means black, '0' means white. iconic encoding behavior, iykyk 🌈

ex.:

my $oGdB = GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5->new('12345678');
my $sPtn = $oGdB->barcode();

🎀 $errStr

$GD::Barcode::Industrial2of5::errStr

she has the error message. that's it, that's her whole job 💖

👑 $text

$oGdBar->{$text}

has the barcode text, based on the $sTxt you specified in the new method. main character data, fr fr.
