NAME¶
pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code bitmap
SYNOPSIS¶
pbmupc [
-s1|
-s2]
type manufac product
DESCRIPTION¶
Generates a Universal Product Code symbol. The three arguments are: a one digit
product type, a five digit manufacturer code, and a five digit product code.
For example, "0 72890 00011" is the code for Heineken.
As presently configured,
pbmupc produces a bitmap 230 bits wide and 175
bits high. The size can be altered by changing the defines at the beginning of
the program, or by running the output through
pnmenlarge or
pnmscale.
OPTIONS¶
The
-s1 and
-s2 flags select the style of UPC to generate. The
default,
-s1, looks more or less like this:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||12345||67890||5
The other style,
-s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and doesn't
display the checksum digit:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||12345||67890||
