http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14149 --- Comment #3 from Theodoros Theodoropoulos <theod@lib.auth.gr> --- This proposed addition to have the user define the size of the barcode is very useful indeed! But until then, with the current situation, we realized that the hardcoded relative values in Label.pm were very conservative for 'normal'-sized labels For our needs, we found out that a default value of 20% of the label height and 90% of the label width (compared to the original values of 10% and 80% respectably) produce taller barcodes that are easier to read. In case it helps anyone, the relevant patch to achieve this is: --- ./src/C4/Labels/Label.pm 2015-10-01 10:35:54.414837999 +0300 +++ ./src/C4/Labels/Label.pm.orig 2015-10-01 10:34:38.470837999 +0300 @@ -282,8 +282,8 @@ my $self = shift; my $barcode_llx = $self->{'llx'} + $self->{'left_text_margin'}; # this places the bottom left of the barcode the left text margin distance to right of the left edge of the label ($llx) my $barcode_lly = $self->{'lly'} + $self->{'top_text_margin'}; # this places the bottom left of the barcode the top text margin distance above the bottom of the label ($lly) - my $barcode_width = 0.8 * $self->{'width'}; # this scales the barcode width to 80% of the label width - my $barcode_y_scale_factor = 0.01 * $self->{'height'}; # this scales the barcode height to 10% of the label height + my $barcode_width = 0.9 * $self->{'width'}; # this scales the barcode width to 90% of the label width + my $barcode_y_scale_factor = 0.02 * $self->{'height'}; # this scales the barcode height to 20% of the label height return 0, 0, 0, $barcode_llx, $barcode_lly, $barcode_width, $barcode_y_scale_factor; } (Needless to say again that the best approach would be to make it selectable by the user in the template screen!) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
