  • Aztec Code

    Aztec Code is a matrix code that has the potential to use less space than other matrix barcodes because it does not require a surrounding blank “quiet zone”. Aztec codes are widely used for transport ticketing.

    Aztec Code

    Refer to the following article for more details: Aztec Code.

    Use the BarCodeOptions.AztecCode property to specify options specific to the Aztec Code.

    The following code creates an Aztec Code:

    using DevExpress.BarCodes;
    using DevExpress.Drawing;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    
    // Create an Aztec Code.
    BarCode barCode = new BarCode();
    barCode.Symbology = Symbology.AztecCode;
    barCode.CodeText = "0123-456789";
    barCode.Options.AztecCode.ErrorLevel = AztecCodeErrorLevel.Level1;
    barCode.Options.AztecCode.Version = AztecCodeVersion.Version45x45;
    // Save the barcode as an image.
    barCode.Save("BarCodeImage.png", DXImageFormat.Png);
    // Open the image in the default viewer.
    Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo("BarCodeImage.png") { UseShellExecute = true });
