| .TH LASERBAR 1 |
| .SH NAME |
| laserbar \- produce bar codes on a PostScript laser printer |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B laserbar |
| [\fB-r\fP rotate] [\fB-x\fP xoffset] [\fB-y\fP yoffset] |
| [\fB-X\fP xscale] [\fB-Y\fP yscale] [\fB-lns\fP] string |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .I Laserbar |
| prints on the standard output the PostScript text that will produce |
| (on a suitable laser printer) the \s-2CODE-39\s+2 bar code |
| corresponding to |
| .I string. |
| The \fBr\fP option may be used to specify a rotation (in |
| degrees) of the bar code. |
| The \fBx\fP, \fBy\fP, \fBX\fP, and \fBY\fP options may be used to specify |
| an x- or y-axis offset (in inches) or scaling factor, respectively. |
| (The offset is measured from the lower left corner of the page |
| to the upper left corner of the bar |
| code. By default, the bar code produced is one inch high, and is scaled |
| so that the narrowest elements are each 1/72-inch \- i.e., one point \- wide.) |
| If the \fBl\fP option is specified, the bar code produced is labeled. |
| If the \fBn\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text |
| includes a leading \f(CWnewpath\fP command, so that the text may stand |
| alone or precede any other PostScript commands. |
| If the \fBs\fP option is specified, the resulting PostScript text includes |
| a trailing \f(CWshowpage\fP command, so that the text may stand alone |
| or follow any other PostScript commands. |
