Displaying the Caption on the top left a little far from the bars below

Aspose.BarCode Product Family

I am trying to place the barcode Caption text at the top of the barcode image which does get displayed but the issue is the caption at the top is not displaying the text in a single line in a readable font size.

Below is the code snippet:-
Caption captionAbove = new Caption
{
Text = string.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}-{3}-{4}-{5}", “ISBN”, barCodeValue.Substring(0,3), barCodeValue.Substring(3, 1), barCodeValue.Substring(4,7),
barCodeValue.Substring(11, 1), barCodeValue.Substring(12, 1)),
TextAlign = StringAlignment.Far,
Visible = true,
Font = new System.Drawing.Font(“Arial”, 6f),
ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black,
Space = 1f
};

        var barColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0);
        using (var bb = new BarCodeBuilder(barCodeValue))
        {
            bb.AutoSize = true;
            bb.GraphicsUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter;
            bb.CodeTextColor = barColor;
            bb.BarHeight = 40f;
            bb.xDimension = 0.30f;
            bb.Margins = new MarginsF(1.5f, 1.5f, 1f, 0.5f);
            bb.CaptionAbove = captionAbove;
            bb.CodeLocation = CodeLocation.None;
            var curResolution = new Resolution(300f, 300f, ResolutionMode.Graphics);
            var curFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 9f);
            bb.ImageQuality = ImageQualityMode.AntiAlias;
            bb.Resolution = curResolution;
            bb.CodeTextFont = curFont;
            bb.SymbologyType = Symbology.EAN13;
            bb.RotationAngleF = SetRotation(rotation);

            tempBarCodeImageFile = Path.Combine(TempFolderRoot, (Guid.NewGuid() + ".jpg"));
            bb.Save(tempBarCodeImageFile, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            }

Here is the requirement [Image at the top is how the caption should be displayed]

Please let me know if there is any setting(s) to change to get the desired result.

@jagjotsingh,

Thank you for your inquiry along with the details and sample. We are able to generate the ISBN barcode using the following code snippet. Sample output is attached for your reference. You may modify your code and adjust the snippet accordingly.

CODE:

        using (Aspose.BarCode.BarCodeBuilder builder = new Aspose.BarCode.BarCodeBuilder("9780123465788", Aspose.BarCode.Generation.EncodeTypes.ISBN))
        {
            builder.CaptionAbove.Visible = true;
            builder.GraphicsUnit = GraphicsUnit.Pixel;

            builder.CaptionAbove.Font = new Font("Arial", 6);
            builder.CodeTextFont = new Font("Arial", 6);
            builder.CaptionAbove.Text = "ISBN-978-0-1234657-8-8";
            builder.xDimension = 1f;
            builder.BarHeight = 40f;

            builder.Save(@"isbn_bar_test.jpg");
        }

Thanks for looking into it but the issue here is i am using Aspose.Barcode version 3.0 and the above provided code is of 18.4.0.0 version, I don’t have Aspose.BarCode.Generation.EncodeTypes.ISBN in here so if you could provide me a solution for 3.0 version , that would be a great help.

Also i tried using barcode code text you had given , it doesn’t show me the caption . may be i miss on license , i had installed via Package manager console so isn’t that has to be taken care automatically.

Please let me know if there is a way to make a caption bigger but still on single line and positioned a little far from the bar for version 3.0
Thanks.
