CL-BARCODE is a library for acquiring and creating barcodes.

CL-BARCODE is not a library for recognizing barcodes from images (at
least not right now).

ACQUISITION
-----------

To acquire a barcode, your scanner must be recognized by your machine
as an keyboard device. At this time, scanning over serial ports is not
supported. When you have a scanner connected, call RETRIEVE-CODE:

* (cl-barcode:retrieve-code)
"657622118516"

We can also use a variety of options:

* (loop :repeat 3 :do (retrieve-code :prompt "Code: " :echo t))
Code: 016000625709
Code: 048500020654
Code: 657622118516
NIL


DRAWING
-------

To draw a barcode as a PNG file, call one of the drawing functions.

(draw-barcode-code-39 "hello" "~/hello.png")
#P"/Users/quad/hello.png"
168
50

The output can be viewed here: http://i.imgur.com/fEcDog0.png

The drawing functions output the filename written to, the width of the
image, and the height of the image.
