Java Data Martrix generator is a mature and reliable Java barcode generation component for creating Data Martrix barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects. High-quality Data Martrix barcode images can be drawn and printed into GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG/JPG & TIFF formats with Java Data Martrix barcode generator. Rich barcode options are provided to customize Data Martrix barcode properties in accordance with your needs.
Data Martrix information:
Data Martrix:one of 2D barcode symbologies, was designed by Siemens to encode a great number of information within a small space. It is made up of data regions with black and white modules and “cells” in a square or rectangular pattern and is widely used in the marking of small items such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards.
Available encoding data:
ASCII 1-255
Variable data length
The structure of an Data Martrix:
1. Data area: contains the data in compiled form.
2. Closed limitation line: is the corner represented in normal alignment to the left and with an uninterrupted line under the data area.
3. Open borderline: located in the opposite corner of the "closed limitation line"(above and to the right), contain alternating black and white dots.
4. Quiet zone: The code is surrounded by it. It must be at least as wide as one dot of the code.

1. Generate Data Martrix in Java class with the changing of barcode properties.
// Create Java Data Matrix object
DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();
// Set Data Matrix data text to encode
barcode.setData("DataMatrix-IN-JAVA");
// Generate Data Matrix barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object");
// Generate Data Matrix barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-datamatrix.gif");
// Generate Data Matrix barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-datamatrix.jpg");
2. Generate & encode ISBN to EPS with changing the values concerned.
// Create Java Data Matrix object
DataMatrix barcode = new DataMatrix();
// Set Data Matrix data text to encode
barcode.setData("Create Data Matrix in EPS");
// Generate Data Matrix barcode & encode into EPS
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-datamatrix.eps");
3. Generate & encode ISBN in html or jsp pages.
Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.
Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=DataMatrixEncodingData&TYPE=datamatrix
To create bar code images in html or jsp pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.
For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=DataMatrixEncodingData&TYPE=datamatrix" />
4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode Data Martrix image.
1. Set the values of the barcodeWidth and barcodeHeight properties.
or
2. Set X (bar module width) and Y (bar module height) values
