This release contains:
zbar.library - barcode reader library based on ZBar
ZBarDT - command line tool for reading barcodes from images
Developer files
Stub library to access zbar.library in the same fashion as libzbar
Source code for changed parts (merge into zbar-0.10 source release)
iconv.library (required by zbar.library)
Docs are in local/Documentation/zbar
Note that only zbar.library is built, not any of the language
interfaces. Most options are disabled, and only image, symbol
and image scanner interfaces are exposed.
ZBarDT
======
ZBarDT is simply called with the filename of the image file, eg:
ZBarDT qrcode.png
There is a switch INVERT that can be used if the image colours
are inverted for some reason.
ZBAR BAR CODE READER
====================
ZBar Bar Code Reader is an open source software suite for reading bar
codes from various sources, such as video streams, image files and raw
intensity sensors. It supports EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128,
Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5 and QR Code. Included with the library
are basic applications for decoding captured bar code images and using
a video device (eg, webcam) as a bar code scanner. For application
developers, language bindings are included for C, C++, Python and Perl
as well as GUI widgets for Qt, GTK and PyGTK.
Check the ZBar home page for the latest release, mailing lists, etc.
