How to set total width instead of bar's width ?

[chanai-m]

Hello,
I am doing a page to print batch of barcodes and each one will be same size but different text and length of text. anyway to do this ?

The underlying library doesn't support this mode of rendering (as I see you commented on it's project)... it's not a great answer, but you could render as IMG and set the width of the img element using styles... I've given this some thought overall -- the one thing we can play with is the base width of individual bars... in theory we could do some math to determine how to scale this number to achieve an overall width target, but we would have to know the encoded output first to do that. Alternatively, we could do some fiddling with JS I suppose - render, resolve the resulting width, modify width, resolve the result again, until we hit our target -- but I suspect that would result in poor performance if you're rendering a lot of barcodes.

I don't have any great ideas at present..... anyone else have any?
