Enum Constant Detail

ERROR_CORRECTION

public static final EncodeHintType ERROR_CORRECTION

Specifies what degree of error correction to use, for example in QR Codes. Type depends on the encoder. For example for QR codes it's type ErrorCorrectionLevel. For Aztec it is of type Integer, representing the minimal percentage of error correction words. Note: an Aztec symbol should have a minimum of 25% EC words.

CHARACTER_SET

public static final EncodeHintType CHARACTER_SET

Specifies what character encoding to use where applicable (type String)

DATA_MATRIX_SHAPE

public static final EncodeHintType DATA_MATRIX_SHAPE

Specifies the matrix shape for Data Matrix (type SymbolShapeHint)

MIN_SIZE

public static final EncodeHintType MIN_SIZE

Specifies a minimum barcode size (type Dimension). Only applicable to Data Matrix now.

MAX_SIZE

public static final EncodeHintType MAX_SIZE

Specifies a maximum barcode size (type Dimension). Only applicable to Data Matrix now.

MARGIN

public static final EncodeHintType MARGIN

Specifies margin, in pixels, to use when generating the barcode. The meaning can vary by format; for example it controls margin before and after the barcode horizontally for most 1D formats. (Type Integer).

PDF417_COMPACT

public static final EncodeHintType PDF417_COMPACT

Specifies whether to use compact mode for PDF417 (type Boolean).

PDF417_COMPACTION

public static final EncodeHintType PDF417_COMPACTION

Specifies what compaction mode to use for PDF417 (type Compaction).

PDF417_DIMENSIONS

public static final EncodeHintType PDF417_DIMENSIONS

Specifies the minimum and maximum number of rows and columns for PDF417 (type Dimensions).

Method Detail

values

public static EncodeHintType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (EncodeHintType c : EncodeHintType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static EncodeHintType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
