Barcodes Human Readable Text

The Human Readable Text in a barcode is an optional feature that enables printing the encoded data of the barcode using human readable text. It can also be used to verify the contents of the barcode visually.

Properties

FontFace	Specify the name of the font to use for rendering the human readable text.
HatchLineAngle	Specify the angle of the hatch lines.
HatchLineSpace	Specify the line gap between hatch lines.
JustifyText	Enables text justification.
OverrideDefaultTextHeight	Disables the automatic text height calculation.
OverrideDefaultTextMargin	Disables the automatic text margin calculation.
TextHeight	Height of the human readable text (This will only get affected if OverrideDefaultTextHeight is set to true).
TextMargin	Name space to access the text margin settings
