Output of encoding a barcode payload.

Variants

Linear(LinearPattern)

One-dimensional barcode: a run-length stream of bar widths in modules.

Matrix(BitMatrix)

Two-dimensional barcode: a black/white grid of modules.

Postal4State(Postal4Pattern)

4-state postal code: each character produces one bar of one of four vertical shapes (full / ascender / descender / tracker), separated by fixed-width gaps. Used by Royal Mail, KIX, Japan Post, DAFT, etc.

Stacked(StackedPattern)

Stacked / multi-row 1D barcode: each row is its own LinearPattern drawn beneath the previous one, with a fixed-height row separator. Used by Codablock-F, PDF417, GS1 DataBar Stacked, and the composite-code 2D companion.

Dots(DotMatrix)

2D dot-matrix barcode: a sparse pattern of dots on a parity grid. Each “on” cell is rendered as a round dot rather than a square module — the defining visual feature of DotCode.

Hex(Box<MaxiCodeSymbol>)

MaxiCode hexagonal symbol — a fixed 33×30 cell grid where odd-numbered rows are physically offset by half a module to the right, producing a hex-packed layout. Boxed because the inline [bool; 990] cells array dwarfs the other variants.

ColorMatrix(ColorMatrix)

Multi-colour 2D matrix barcode — each cell carries a palette index 0..=7 rather than a single bit. Currently used by Ultracode, which uses an 8-entry palette of CMYWK colours (white, cyan, magenta, yellow, green, blue, red, black per the AIM USS Ultracode spec). The renderer emits one coloured rect per cell in SVG / one RGB byte per pixel in PNG.
