baRcodeR 0.1.8

• Added a new matrix2 option to create_PDF() that allows text to appear below or above QR codes (see ?create_PDF)
• Slight modification to allow underscores _ to be encoded into QR codes. Previously, these were first changed to dashes.

v0.1.7

baRcodeR 0.1.7 - added code 128 extended

• linear2 added to option list (Linear, Matrix) to produce Code 128 extended linear barcodes. This allows for alternative linear barcode layout, and also includes more special characters
• Changed qrcode::qr_code() from (depricated) qrcode_gen

baRcodeR 0.1.6 - new parameters

At the request of a COVID-2019 research group, we have added an option to allow non-encoded text to appear with linear & 2D barcodes:

• alt_text -- adds human-readable text that is NOT encoded in the digital barcode
• denote -- characters used to denote non-encoded text

baRcodeR 0.1.5 R CMD check results

This was a minor update to make sure tests pass on r-devel and fix a broken link.

baRcodeR v0.1.5 for CRAN

kicked up version and added cran comments

v0.1.3

• major bug fix for linear barcodes that occassionally created unscannable barcodes.
• added documentation on how to create alternative formatting of labels (e.g. spaces, line breaks)
• added padding for labels which were single character or blank
• 2-page cheatsheet now available as addin

Special thanks to GitHub user 'thokall' for outstanding work tracking down and fixing the bug in our linear bar(code)^2

v0.1.2

New Feature:

• In response to a user request, there is now an option to print linear (code 128 set B) barcodes.

v0.1.1

New Features:

• label_width and label_height parameters specify the width and height of the label to enable alleys (i.e. gaps) between physical labels.

Bugs and Improvements:

• create_PDF() function will replace all underscores in text with dashes. Underscores are not specified in the encoding dictionary of qcrode and will throw errors.
• x_space and y_space parameters are now limited between 0 and 1 for easier use. These parameters are used to position text on the printed labels.
• Font size is no longer limited and is now measured as points. Font size is automatically reduced if text code is too long for the printed labels.
