#34 text below

[angelocapo10]

Hi, thank you for your work!.
When you use barbecue on Linux (Centos 5, Ubuntu) is not possible to drawing text below the barcode.
I set Barcode.setDrawingText(true).
Have You any idea?
Thank you
Angelo

Same problem here on Ubuntu server 10.10.

I am not sure but from my report design experiences, I think that's because of some fonts of the font package of barbecue may not exist in some linux versions.
In windows, text is drawn normally below the barcode.
I had a workaround by dividing barcode text to 4 and place them over the below part of barcode in iReport. Just have a look at image I attached.
My example is EAN-13 type barcode.

First part is the 1st number of the barcode text:
$P{BARKOD_NO}==null ? "" : $P{BARKOD_NO}.substring(0, 1)

Second part is continued 6 numbers:
$P{BARKOD_NO}==null ? "" : $P{BARKOD_NO}.substring(1, 7)

Third part is continued 5 numbers:
$P{BARKOD_NO}==null ? "" : $P{BARKOD_NO}.substring(7, $P{BARKOD_NO}.length())

Last part is check digit number :
$P{BARKOD_NO}==null ? "" : ($P{CHECKDIGIT}==null ? "" : $P{CHECKDIGIT})

Parameter name that all 12 numbers in text passed to iReport tool by parameter from code is $P{BARKOD_NO} but, last number is $P{CHECKDIGIT} parameter calculated from barcode API.
and this $P{CHECKDIGIT} have a code exactly like this :

~~~
private int checkDigit(long barcodeNumber) {
int oddSum = 0, evenSum = 0, bigSum;
boolean odd = true;
while (barcodeNumber != 0) {
if (odd) {
oddSum += barcodeNumber % 10;
odd = false;
} else {
evenSum += barcodeNumber % 10;
odd = true;
}
barcodeNumber = (barcodeNumber - barcodeNumber % 10) / 10;
}

oddSum *= 3;
bigSum = oddSum + evenSum;
int modSum = bigSum % 10;
if (modSum == 0) {
    modSum = 10;
}
return 10 - modSum;

}
