<p>In order to use QR codes the module "<code class="filename">QR/qrencoder.inc.php</code>" must

<p>Usage of QR codes follows a similar schema as for the linear, PDF417 and Datamatrix
barcodes with the concepts of an encoder and backend. The principle of the overall
encodation process is shown in <a class="xref" href="ch26s02.html#fig.datamatrix-encodation-principle" title="Figure 26.4. Datamatrix encodation principle">Figure 26.4. Datamatrix encodation principle</a></p>

</p>
<p>(As can be seen this follows the same principles as the creation of Datamatrix
symbols)</p>
<p>The principle is the same for all type of data QR code creations. First an
instance of the chosen encoder is instantiated. In this case using all default
parameters by creating an instance of <code class="code">class QREncoder</code>. We then create a
suitable backend that handles the output of the barcode. By default the output will
be an image encoded in the PNG image format.</p>
<p>The final step is to send back the generated image to the browser with a call to
the method <code class="code">Backend::Stroke()</code> with the data to be encoded as its first
argument.</p>
<p>The example above does not have any error handling. If there is some error in the
process an exception will be thrown in the same way as in other places in the
library. The default exception will display a standard library image error box. An
example of this is shown in <a class="xref" href="ch27s02.html#fig.qr-errmsg" title="Figure 27.7. QR Error message">Figure 27.7. QR Error message</a></p>
<div class="figure"><a name="fig.qr-errmsg"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 27.7. QR Error message</b></p><div class="figure-contents">
<div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/qr_errmsg.png" alt="QR Error message"></div>
</div></div><br class="figure-break">
<p>If some additional processing is necessary and to just display a text based
re-formatted error message we could change the above code to catch this exception as
the following example shows.</p>

<p>As in other parts of the library the QR module throws an exception when an error
occurs. As shown in the previous section an error image is the default if no
explicit <code class="code">try {} catch {}</code> statement is added to the script.</p>
<p>
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>The fact that an image is shown as the default exception is caused by the
library module "qrexception.inc.php" installing its own default error
handler which will be called when an exception happens. However, this
handler is intelligent enough to know if the exception is caused by the
library or not. If the exception is not caused by the library the exception
is re-thrown and the original error handler restored. This means that
JpGraph will not interfere with previously installed error handlers for
other parts of an application.</p>

<p>The script below shows how to catch the error, do some possible clean up and then
explicitly create and send back the error image.</p>

<p>Explanation: HTTP headers have already been sent back to the
browser indicating the data as text before the library got a
chance to send it's image HTTP header to this browser. This
makes it impossible for the QR library to send back image data
to the browser (since that would be interpretated as text by the
browser and show up as junk text).</p>
<p>Most likely you have some text in your script before the call
to QRBackend::Stroke(). </p>
<p>If this texts gets sent back to the browser the browser will
assume that all data is plain text. Look for any text (even
spaces and newlines) that might have been sent back to the
browser.</p>
<p>For example it is a common mistake to leave a blank line
before the opening "&lt;?php"</p>

<p>A QR encoder is created as an instance of <code class="code">class QREncoder</code>. The
constructor have the following signature</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">QREncoder::__construct($aVersion = -1, $aErrLevel =
QRCapacity::ErrM)</code></p>
<p><code class="code">$aVersion</code>, Specifies the QR version and is specified as
an integer in the range [1,40], see <a class="xref" href="ch27.html#table.qr-symbol-sizes" title="Table 27.2. Maximum data capacity for the different symbol sizes in the QR-code.">Table 27.2. Maximum data capacity for the
different symbol sizes in the QR-code.</a>
</p>
<p><code class="code">$aErrLevel</code>, Specifies the error correction level to be
used, see <a class="xref" href="ch27.html#table.qr-error-correction-levels" title="Table 27.3. QR Error correction levels">Table 27.3. QR Error correction levels</a></p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>The following examples creates a basic encoder which will automatically select the
smallest possible size to fit the data given</p>
<p>
</p><div class="hl-main"><table class="hl-table" width="100%"><tr><td class="hl-gutter" align="right" valign="top"><pre>1

<p>
</p><div class="hl-main"><table class="hl-table" width="100%"><tr><td class="hl-gutter" align="right" valign="top"><pre>1

<div class="sect2" title="Encodation of input data options"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2617978"></a>Encodation of input data options</h3></div></div></div>
<p>The absolute simplest way of encoding data is simply to create a simple string
representing the data to be encoded and then pass that string as the first argument
to the <code class="code">Stroke()</code> method in the backend. The encoder will then analyze
the input data and choose the most efficient space saving encoding schema for this
data. </p>
<p>
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>Unless there are some really good reasons to use manual encodation it
should be left to the library to determine this in an optimal way!</p>
</div><p>
</p>
<p>The QR standard allows 3 different compaction schema that can be used to minimize
the number of codewords used for a particular data string. This also means that a
particular data string may have several different valid barcodes that visually looks
different. </p>
<p>The supported compaction modes in the library are:</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
<p><span class="bold"><strong>Alpha compaction mode</strong></span> Efficient
encoding of digits 0 - 9; upper case letters A -Z and nine other
characters: space, $ % * + - . / : . </p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><span class="bold"><strong>Numeric compaction mode.</strong></span> Efficient
encoding of numeric data. For long consecutive strings of digits this
gives a better compaction than the alpha mode.</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><span class="bold"><strong>Byte compaction mode.</strong></span> Used only when
there is a need to encode byte values as is, i.e. values in the range
0-255. Please note that some barcode readers, especially those with a
keyboard wedge, don't send back the proper encoding for ASCII values
lower than 32 or higher than 126. </p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>When the automatic encoding is chosen this will create an optimum encoding (from a
size perspective) of the supplied data. This includes shifting encoding method in
the middle of the data one or several time depending on the structure of the data. </p>
<p>It is also possible to manually control the exact encodation of the input data.
This is done by supplying one or more data tuples where the first entry in the tuple
is the compaction schema and the second the data. To encode the data manually the
following structure must then be followed:</p>
<p>
</p><div class="figure"><a name="id2618092"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 27.10. Structure for manually specify QR encodation schema</b></p><div class="figure-contents">
<pre class="screen">$data = array( array( &lt;encoding_mode1&gt; , &lt;data1&gt; ),
array( &lt;encoding_mode2&gt; , &lt;data2&gt; ),
...
array( &lt;encoding_modeN&gt; , &lt;dataN&gt; ));</pre>
</div></div><p><br class="figure-break">
</p>
<p>The encoding mode is specified as one of three symbolic constants</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">QREncoder::MODE_NUMERIC</code></p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">QREncoder::MODE_ALPHANUM</code></p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">QREncoder::MODE_BYTE</code></p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>and the data is specified as a regular text string. Each section of data must
therefore have the compaction mode specified. </p>
<p>In order to use a specific encodation schema one has to create an array as input
instead of the normal string input. For example, to specify an input where the
encodation should be alphanumeric encoding of the digits '0123456789' one would have
to create the array </p>

<p>Normally the method Backend::Stroke($aData) is sued to create a QR code from the

<p>The following methods are available to adjust the final look and feel of the
barcode</p>
<p>
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetColor($aOne, $aZero,
$aBackground='white')</code></p>
<p>the color of the 'black' and 'white' modules in the barcode and the
quiet area around the barcode</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetQuietZone($aSize)</code></p>
<p>the size of the "quiet zone" in pixels for the image backend and in
points (1 pt = 1/72 inch) for the postscript backend</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::SetModuleWidth($aWidth)</code></p>
<p>the module width specified in pixels for the image backend and in
points (1 pt = 1/72 inch) for the postscript backend</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::Stroke($aData, $aFileName='')</code></p>
<p>create the barcode and send it back the client or store it to a file
if the second parameter is set. For postscript backends the postscript
string is returned directly from the method. (See example above)</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">Backend::StrokeFromFile($aFromFileName,$aFileName='')</code></p>
<p>This allows the creation of barcode directly from data in a
file.</p>
</li></ol></div><p>
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" title="Image backend methods"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2618431"></a>Image backend methods</h3></div></div></div>
<p>For the image backend it is possible to adjust the image encoding format with the
following method</p>
<p>
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="code">Backend::SetImgFormat($aFormat,$aQuality=75)</code>
</p>
<p>Specify image format. Possible values are </p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="code">'auto'</code>
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="code">'png'</code>
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="code">'jpeg'</code>
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="code">'gif'</code>
</p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>For 'jpeg' format the quality parameter is a number in range [1-100]
and specified how much compression / (Data loss) should be used. 100=no
compression. Normal values are in the range [60-95]</p>
<p>The following example sets the image format to 'JPEG' with quality
80.</p>
<p>

<div class="sect2" title="Postscript backend methods"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2618458"></a>Postscript backend methods</h3></div></div></div>
<p>For postscript backend it is possible to select whether the postscript should be
generated as encapsulated postscript. This is controlled by the method</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
