DESCRIPTION
    GD::Barcode is a subclass of GD and allows you to create barcode image
    with GD. This module based on "Generate Barcode Ver 1.02 By Shisei Hanai
    97/08/22".

    From 1.14, you can use this module even if no GD (except plot method).

  new
    *$oGdBar* = GD::Barcode::UPCE->new(*$sType*, *$sTxt*);

    Constructor. Creates a GD::Barcode::*$sType* object for *$sTxt*.

  plot()
    *$oGd* = $oGdBar->plot([Height => *$iHeight*, NoText => *0 | 1*]);

    creates GD object with barcode image for the *$sTxt* specified at new
    method. *$iHeight* is height of the image. If *NoText* is 1, the image
    has no text image of *$sTxt*.

     ex.
      my $oGdB = GD::Barcode->new('EAN13', '123456789012');
      my $oGD = $oGdB->plot(NoText=>1, Height => 20);
      # $sGD is a GD image with Height=>20 pixels, with no text.

  barcode()
    *$sPtn* = $oGdBar->barcode();

    returns a barcode pattern in string with '1' and '0'. '1' means black,
    '0' means white.

     ex.
      my $oGdB = GD::Barcode->new('UPCE', '123456789012');
      my $sPtn = $oGdB->barcode();
      # $sPtn = '';

  $errStr
    $GD::Barcode::errStr

    has error message.

  $text
    $oGdBar->{$text}

    has barcode text based on *$sTxt* specified in new method.
