| You can use the ActiveBarcode command line tool to create barcode images files directly
from the command line. E.g. use it in batch or script programs.
The commandline tool is included in the ActiveBarcode program package. When you setup ActiveBarcode
to your system, the commandline tool also will be installed. You can find the tool named barcodeimage.wsf in the folder you
installed ActiveBarcode to. General this is c:\programs\ActiveBarcode.
An example: The following call of the tool will create a 400x200 pixels sized PNG image file named ean.png with an
EAN-13 barcode encoding "192837465012".
barcodeimage ean.png text=192837465012 typename=ean13 width=400 height=200
One more example: The following call of the tool will create a 500x100 pixels sized PNG image file named code128.bmp with an
Code 128 barcode encoding "Hello World".
barcodeimage code128.bmp "text=Hello World" type=14 width=500 height=100
Powershell: If you want to use 'barcodeimage' with the Microsoft Windows PowerShell, you have to call it using 'cscript'.
See this example:
cscript barcodeimage.wsf code128.bmp "text=Hello World" type=14 width=500 height=100

For example you can use the command line tool to create barcodes dynamically
in a OpenOffice document. We have created an example file for OpenOffice Calc
that creates barcodes from a list of numbers right beside the numbers in a sheet.
