There are various ways to represent and transport data. One convenient way to do so is through images. By encoding data in an image, they can be formatted to a consistent and portable size. A commonly known format that is used regularly is barcodes. Barcodes typically represent a string of characters or numbers that typically refer to an identification value of something, such as the product number of an item in a store. Another typically encountered format is QR codes which also contain string data but are more commonly used to contain links to a web address for promotions or relevant sites. 4D can also be expanded to take advantage of these formats in reading and generating the images. This Technical Note will provide an implementation of a feature set that allows barcode and QR code images to be generated utilizing 4D View Pro.
