Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

PDF417::__construct ( $code,
$ecl = -1,
$aspectratio = 2,
$macro = array() )

This is the class constructor.

Creates a PDF417 object

Parameters
string$codecode to represent using PDF417
int$eclerror correction level (0-8); default -1 = automatic correction level
float$aspectratiothe width to height of the symbol (excluding quiet zones)
array$macroinformation for macro block

Member Data Documentation

◆ $clusters

PDF417::$clusters
protected

Clusters of codewords (0, 3, 6)
Values are hex equivalents of binary representation of bars (1 = bar, 0 = space).


The codewords numbered from 900 to 928 have special meaning, some enable to switch between modes in order to optimise the code:

  • 900 : Switch to "Text" mode
  • 901 : Switch to "Byte" mode
  • 902 : Switch to "Numeric" mode
  • 903 - 912 : Reserved
  • 913 : Switch to "Octet" only for the next codeword
  • 914 - 920 : Reserved
  • 921 : Initialization
  • 922 : Terminator codeword for Macro PDF control block
  • 923 : Sequence tag to identify the beginning of optional fields in the Macro PDF control block
  • 924 : Switch to "Byte" mode (If the total number of byte is multiple of 6)
  • 925 : Identifier for a user defined Extended Channel Interpretation (ECI)
  • 926 : Identifier for a general purpose ECI format
  • 927 : Identifier for an ECI of a character set or code page
  • 928 : Macro marker codeword to indicate the beginning of a Macro PDF Control Block
