<p>In order to use datamatrix barcodes the module
"<code class="filename">datamatrix/datamatrix.inc.php</code>" must first be included.</p>
<p>Usage of Datamatrix barcodes follows a similar schema as for the linear and PDF417
barcodes with concepts of an encoder and backend. The principle of the overall
encodation process is shown in <a class="xref" href="ch26s02.html#fig.datamatrix-encodation-principle" title="Figure 26.4. Datamatrix encodation principle">Figure 26.4. Datamatrix encodation principle</a></p>

<p>Assuming that the library is installed where it can be found by PHP it is now very
simple to create a basic Data Matrix symbol using just default values. We first show
the complete first example and then discuss it. In the following scripts we will
assume that the include path has the core JpGraph directory in its path.</p>
<p>All barcode creation follows the following basic three steps :</p>
<p>
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem">
<p>Create an instance of the encoder with the chosen datamatrix layout as
an instance of <code class="code">class Datamatrix</code></p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>Create an instance of a suitable backend for the chosen output format
(image or postscript) by calling the
<code class="code">DatamatrixBackenFactory::Create()</code></p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>Encode data and send it back to the browser or to a file with a call
to the backend <code class="code">Backend::Stroke()</code> method.</p>
</li></ol></div><p>
</p>
<p>The following script shows how to create the simplest possible barcode (in PNG
format) representing the data string "<code class="code">The first datamatrix</code>" encoded
using all default values. The resulting barcode is shown in <a class="xref" href="ch26s02.html#fig.datamatrix_ex00" title="Figure 26.5. The simplest possible datamatrix script (datamatrix_ex00.php)">Figure 26.5. The simplest possible datamatrix script <code class="uri"><a class="uri" href="example_src/datamatrix_ex00.html" target="_top">(<code class="filename">datamatrix_ex00.php</code>)</a></code> </a></p>

</p>
<p>(As can be seen this follows the same principles as the creation of PDF417
symbols)</p>
<p>The principle is the same for all type of data matrix symbol creations. We first
create an instance of the chosen encoder. In this case a standard ECC-200 encoder by
creating an instance of <code class="code">class Datamatrix</code>. We then create a suitable
backend that handles the output of the barcode. By default the output will be an
image encoded in the PNG image format.</p>
<p>The final step is to send back the generated image to the browser with a call to
the method <code class="code">Backend::Stroke()</code> with the data to be encoded as its first
argument.</p>
<p>The example above does not have any error handling. If there is some error in the
process an exception will be thrown in the same way as in other places in the
library. The default exception will display a standard library image error box. An
example of this is shown in <a class="xref" href="ch26s02.html#fig.datamatrix-error-image" title="Figure 26.6. Datamatrix error image">Figure 26.6. Datamatrix error image</a>. </p>
<div class="figure"><a name="fig.datamatrix-error-image"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 26.6. Datamatrix error image</b></p><div class="figure-contents">
<div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/datamatrix_errormsg.png" alt="Datamatrix error image"></div>
</div></div><br class="figure-break">
<p>If some additional processing is necessary and just display a text based
re-formatted error message we could change the above code to catch this exception as
the following example shows.</p>

<p>In contrast to the PDF417 encodation process there is no option to select an level
of error correction. The error correction level is automatically specified in the
standard depending on the size of the barcode. As a final initial example the next
script uses the backend method <code class="code">Backend::SetModuleWidth($aWidth)</code> to
increase the width of one module.</p>

<p>Explanation: HTTP headers have already been sent back to
the browser indicating the data as text before the library
got a chance to send it's image HTTP header to this browser.
This makes it impossible for the Datamatrix library to send
back image data to the browser (since that would be
interpretated as text by the browser and show up as junk
text).</p>
<p>Most likely you have some text in your script before the
call to DatamatrixBackend::Stroke(). </p>
<p>If this texts gets sent back to the browser the browser
will assume that all data is plain text. Look for any text
(even spaces and newlines) that might have been sent back to
the browser.</p>
<p>For example it is a common mistake to leave a blank line
before the opening "<?php"</p>

<p>The following methods are available to adjust the final look and feel of the

<p>
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetColor($aOne, $aZero,

<p>the color of the 'black' and 'white' modules in the barcode and the
quiet area around the barcode</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetQuietZone($aSize)</code></p>
<p>the size of the "quiet zone" in pixels for the image backend and in
points (1 pt = 1/72 inch) for the postscript backend</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetModuleWidth($aWidth)</code></p>
<p>the module width specified in pixels for the image backend and in
points (1 pt = 1/72 inch) for the postscript backend</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::Stroke($aData, $aFileName='')</code></p>
<p>create the barcode and send it back the client or store it to a file
if the second parameter is set. For postscript backends the postscript
string is returned directly from the method. (See example above)</p>
</li></ol></div><p>

<div class="sect2" title="Image backend methods"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2607382"></a>Image backend methods</h3></div></div></div>
<p>For the image backend it is possible to adjust the image encoding format with the
following method</p>
<p>
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetImgFormat($aFormat,$aQuality=75)</code></p>
<p>Specify image format. Possible values are </p>

<p><code class="code">'auto'</code></p>
</li><li class="listitem">

<p><code class="code">'jpeg'</code></p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">'gif'</code></p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>For 'jpeg' format the quality parameter is a number in range [1-100]
and specified how much compression / (Data loss) should be used. 100=no
compression. Normal values are in the range [60-95]</p>
<p>The following example sets the image format to 'JPEG' with quality
80.</p>

<p>For postscript backend it is possible to select whether the postscript should be

<p>In the example directory in the distribution
('<code class="filename">datamatrix/examples</code>') you can find many more examples on
how to create barcodes. As a good start the following (simple) template may be used
as a base for further customizations.</p>
