Printing barcodes vertically

[cmachnowski]

I am using the front panel of a VI to print a 4x2 label that has a barcode on it.  I am using the caption of a string indicator for the barcode.  I am using the "free 3 of 9" font for the barcode font.   The barcode runs horizontally.  This barcode contains a part number     (ei  *ALY01320U*)  I use a property node to enter the data into the caption of the string indicator.   This works great and my scanner reads the barcode correctly.  I need to have this barcode run vertically.  However when I rotate the barcode vertically and print the label the scanner will not read it.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

Hi cmachnowski,

use a 2DPictureIndicator to draw your barcode: use the Text function with your font.

Then you can easily rotate the image by 90°…
