   BarcodeNo : int
) : double;

public: double BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeSkewAngle( 
   int BarcodeNo
)

public:
double BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeSkewAngle( 
   int BarcodeNo
)

Parameters

BarcodeNo: Barcode index. Must be between 1 and BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeCount returned. value.

Return Value

The barcode angle in degrees. The angle is measured clockwise relative to the horizontal axis of the image.

Remarks

This method is used in the "Barcode Recognition" Demo.

Example

Finding DataMatrix barcodes in an image and writes complete barcodes info into a file.

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image.jpg", false);
 
    // Set to 0, so all the DataMatrix barcodes in the image should be found.
    int expectedBarcodes = 0;
 
    // Perform scanning at best speed, ignoring very damaged barcodes.
    BarcodeDataMatrixReaderScanMode mode = BarcodeDataMatrixReaderScanMode.BestSpeed;
 
    // Start the DataMatrix scanning process and write info into a text file.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderDoScan(imageID, mode, expectedBarcodes);
 
    using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("DataMatrix.txt"))
    {
        int barcodesFound = gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeCount();
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= barcodesFound; i++)
        {
            // Decoded information.
            file.WriteLine("Decoded info = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeValue(i));
 
            // The skew angle of the barcode, in degrees.
            file.WriteLine("Skew angle = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeSkewAngle(i));
 
            // The number of rows of the barcode.
            file.WriteLine("Rows = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeRows(i));
 
            // The number of columns of the barcode.
            file.WriteLine("Columns = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeColumns(i));
 
            // The raw bytes decoded. It was post-processed to find the correct decoded info based on detected Encoding.
            file.WriteLine("Raw bytes = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeValueRAW(i));
 
            // The barcode position, given by the coordinates of the corners.
            file.WriteLine("Position =  Top-Left=["
                + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeX1(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeY1(i)
                + "] Top-Right=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeX2(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeY2(i)

                + "] Bottom-Left=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeX4(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderGetBarcodeY4(i) + "]");
        }
    }
 
    // Release used resources.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeDataMatrixReaderClear();
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}
