public:
GdPictureStatus BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderDoScan( 
   int ImageID
)

Parameters

ImageID: A unique image identifier of the GdPicture image representing the image in use.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method uses the best quality mode for scanning and will try to detect all available barcodes. You can use the GdPictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderDoScan method and set the ExpectedCount parameter to 1 and StopOnExpectedCount to true, to stop the recognition process after the first barcode is found.

Example

Finding MaxiCode in an image and writing complete barcodes info in a file.

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image.jpg", false);
 
    // Set to 0, so all the MaxiCode in the image should be found.
    int expectedBarcodes = 0;
 
    // Perform scanning at best speed, ignoring very damaged barcodes.
    BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderScanMode mode = BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderScanMode.BestSpeed;
 
    // Start the MaxiCode scanning process and write info into a text file.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderDoScan(imageID, mode, expectedBarcodes);
 
    using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("MaxiCode.txt"))
    {
        int barcodesFound = gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeCount();
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= barcodesFound; i++)
        {
            // Decoded information.
            file.WriteLine("Decoded info = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeValue(i));
 
            // The raw bytes decoded. It was post-processed to find the correct decoded info based on detected Encoding.
            file.WriteLine("Raw bytes = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeValueRAW(i));
 
            // The barcode position, given by the coordinates of the corners.
            file.WriteLine("Position =  Top-Left=["
                + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeX1(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeY1(i)
                + "] Top-Right=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeX2(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeY2(i)
                + "] Bottom-Right=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeX3(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeY3(i)
                + "] Bottom-Left=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeX4(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderGetBarcodeY4(i) + "]");
        }
    }
 
    // Release used resources.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeMaxiCodeReaderClear();
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}
