4.5 Adjusting whitespace
------------------------
The amount of whitespace to the left and right of the generated barcode can be
altered using the –w switch. For example:
The amount of horizontal whitespace to the left and right of the generated
barcode can be altered using the –w or --whitesp switch. For example:
zint -w 10 -d "This Text"
This specifies a whitespace width of 10 times the X-dimension of the symbol.
This specifies a whitespace width of 10 times the X-dimension of the symbol
both to the left and to the right of the barcode.
The amount of vertical whitespace above and below the barcode can be altered
using the --vwhitesp switch. For example for 3 times the X-dimension:
zint --vwhitesp 3 -d "This Text"
Note that the whitespace at the bottom appears below the text, if any.
Horizontal and vertical whitespace can of course be used together:
zint -b DATAMATRIX --whitesp 1 --vwhitesp 1 -d "This Text"
4.6 Adding boundary bars and boxes
----------------------------------
@ -397,17 +409,20 @@ Zint allows the symbol to be bound with 'boundary bars' (also known as 'bearer
bars') using the option --bind. These bars help to prevent misreading of the
symbol by corrupting a scan if the scanning beam strays off the top or bottom of
the symbol. Zint can also put a border right around the symbol and its
whitespace with the --box option.
horizontal whitespace with the --box option.
The width of the boundary or box can be specified using the --border switch.
For example:
zint --box --border=10 -d "This"
zint --box --border=10 -w 10 -d "This"
gives a box with a width 10 times the X-dimension of the symbol.
gives a box with a width 10 times the X-dimension of the symbol. Note that when
specifying a box, horizontal whitespace is usually required in order to create a
quiet zone between the barcode and the sides of the box.
These options are ignored for Code 16k, Code 49 and Codablock-F. Special
considerations apply to ITF-14 - see the specific section for that symbology.
Code 16k, Code 49 and Codablock-F always have boundary bars, and default to

For raster output, the default X-dimension is 2 pixels (except for MaxiCode, see
4.9.2 below, and dotty mode, see 4.14). For example for PNG images a scale of 5
will increase the X-dimension to 10 pixels. Scales should be given in increments
of 0.5, i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, etc., to avoid the X-dimension
varying across the symbol due to interpolation. 0.5 increments are also faster
