Barcodes and Delphi

Title: Barcodes and Delphi Barcodes generally consist of a series of alternately black and white bars, of varying width. The pattern is defined by encoding the data the barcode represents, using a set of pre-defined patterns and optionally additional mathematical operations to condense the data or add a check-digit. The TBits class stores a series of bits, in the smallest possible size of memory. It is an ideal object to store encoded data in one of the many barcode-formats, and use in one of many ways to generate the barcode itself. For example: - generate a monochrome bitmap, - generate HTML to display the barcode (attention, generally background-color's don't get printed, use !important or a black border-left for a white span or td) - generate printer-code to send to the printer directly ... I've put up source-code that demonstrates this here: http://yoy.be/barcode
