Property: LeftMargin

Specifies the left margin of the barcode symbol in pixels.

Syntax:

property LeftMargin: Integer;

Description:

Specifies the margin between the leftmost side of the barcode symbol and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control that is specified by the Image property, in pixels.

If the human readable text is displayed, it's included in the barcode symbol.

For the TBarcode_UPCA, TBarcode_UPCE, TBarcode_UPCE0, TBarcode_UPCE1, TBarcode_EAN2, TBarcode_EAN5, TBarcode_EAN8, and TBarcode_EAN13 barcode components, if the human readable text is displayed, and the TextAlignment property is set to taCustom, the left and right quiet zones marks and their horizontal spacing are included in the barcode symbol too.

For the TBarcode_ITF6 and TBarcode_ITF14 barcode components, all bearer bars, the left and right spacing are included in the barcode symbol too.

If the human readable text is displayed and it exceeds the barcode symbol in horizontal or vertical direction, the excess is included in the barcode symbol too

It is set using the following formula:

• The Orientation property is set to "boLeftRight":

  It is the margin between the beginning of the barcode symbol and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  For the TBarcode_UPCA, TBarcode_UPCE, TBarcode_UPCE0, TBarcode_UPCE1, TBarcode_EAN2, TBarcode_EAN5, TBarcode_EAN8, and TBarcode_EAN13 barcode components, if the TextAlignment property is set to "taCustom", it's the margin between the left quiet zone mark and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control (The ShowQuietZoneMark property of the TBarcode_EAN2, TBarcode_EAN5, or TBarcode_EAN8 barcode component is set to true).

  For the TBarcode_ITF6 and TBarcode_ITF14 barcode components, it's the margin between the left bearer bar and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  When the human readable text is displayed, and the TextAlignment property is set to "taRight", "taRightQuietZone", "taCenter" or "taCenterQuietZone", if the human readable text exceeds the beginning of the barcode symbol, it's the margin between the beginning of the human readable text and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

• The Orientation property is set to "boRightLeft":

  It is the margin between the end of the barcode symbol and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  For the TBarcode_UPCA, TBarcode_UPCE, TBarcode_UPCE0, TBarcode_UPCE1, TBarcode_EAN2, TBarcode_EAN5, TBarcode_EAN8, and TBarcode_EAN13 barcode components, if the TextAlignment property is set to "taCustom", it's the margin between the right quiet zone mark and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control (The ShowQuietZoneMark property of the TBarcode_EAN2, TBarcode_EAN5, TBarcode_EAN8, or TBarcode_EAN13 barcode component is set to true).

  For the TBarcode_ITF6 and TBarcode_ITF14 barcode components, it's the margin between the right bearer bar and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  When the human readable text is displayed, and the TextAlignment property is set to "taLeft", "taLeftQuietZone", "taCenter" or "taCenterQuietZone", if the human readable text exceeds the end of the barcode symbol, it's the margin between the end of the human readable text and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

• The Orientation property is set to "boTopBottom":

  It is the margin between the bottom of the barcode symbol and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  If the human readable text is displayed and the TextPosition property is set to the "tpBottomIn" or "tpBottomOut", It's the margin between the bottom of the human readable text and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  For the TBarcode_ITF6 and TBarcode_ITF14 barcode components, if the human readable text isn't displayed or the TextPosition property is set to the "tpTopIn" or "tpTopOut", it's the margin between the bottom bearer bar and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.

  When the human readable text is displayed, and the TextPosition property is set to the "tpTopIn" or "tpTopOut", if the human readable text exceeds the barcode symbol in height, it's the margin between the bottom of the human readable text and the left side of the TImage or TQRImage control.
