Requires the following components:

- PHP >= 5.4
- PHP extensions: bcmath, fileinfo, gd

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```

Usage overview
--------------

[](#usage-overview)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use BigFish\PDF417\PDF417;
use BigFish\PDF417\Renderers\ImageRenderer;
use BigFish\PDF417\Renderers\SvgRenderer;

// Text to be encoded into the barcode
$text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur
imperdiet sit amet magna faucibus aliquet. Aenean in velit in mauris imperdiet
scelerisque. Maecenas a auctor erat.';

// Encode the data, returns a BarcodeData object
$pdf417 = new PDF417();
$data = $pdf417->encode($text);

// Create a PNG image
$renderer = new ImageRenderer([
    'format' => 'png'
]);

$image = $renderer->render($data);

// Create an SVG representation
$renderer = new SvgRenderer([
    'color' => 'black',
]);

$svg = $renderer->render($data);
```

ImageRenderer
-------------

[](#imagerenderer)

Renders the barcode to an image using [Intervention Image](http://image.intervention.io/)

Render function returns an instance of `Intervention\Image\Image`.

#### Options

[](#options)

OptionDefaultDescriptionformatpngOutput format, one of: `jpg`, `png`, `gif`, `tif`, `bmp`, `data-url`quality90Jpeg encode quality (1-10)scale3Scale of barcode elements (1-20)ratio3Height to width ration of barcode elements (1-10)padding20Padding in pixels (0-50)color\#000000Foreground color as a hex codebgColor\#ffffffBackground color as a hex code#### Examples

[](#examples)

```
$pdf417 = new PDF417();
$data = $pdf417->encode("My hovercraft is full of eels");

// Create a PNG image, red on green background, extra big
$renderer = new ImageRenderer([
    'format' => 'png',
    'color' => '#FF0000',
    'bgColor' => '#00FF00',
    'scale' => 10,
]);

$image = $renderer->render($data);
$image->save('hovercraft.png');
```

The `data-url` format is not like the others, it returns a base64 encoded PNG image which can be used in an image `src` or in CSS. When you create an image using this format:

```
$pdf417 = new PDF417();
$data = $pdf417->encode('My nipples explode with delight');

$renderer = new ImageRenderer([
    'format' => 'data-url'
]);
$img = $renderer->render($data);
```

You can use it directly in your HTML or CSS code:

```
