Barcode File generator

This code is what's been used to generate barcodes for ticket variable printing.

It will generate a list of ticket numbers following the format

AXXXX for adult tickets
TXXXX for teen tickets
KXXXX for kid tickets
CXXXX for child tickets

Ticket numbers are then paired with a randomly generated 6 character short code.

Outputs two files, see below.

install / configure

git clone https://gitlab.com/BurningFlipside/BarCodez.git
cd BarCodez
bundle install

Modify ticket numbers or prices

open make_bars.rb and modify the following hash

# define tickets numbers, prices, and code prefix
tix = {
  adult: {
    code: 'A',
    count: 2850,
    price: 111
  },
  teen: {
    code: 'T',
    count: 75,
    price: 111
  },
  kid: {
    code: 'K',
    count: 50,
    price: 33
  },
  child: {
    code: 'C',
    count: 25,
    price: 0
  }
}

Modify ticket size

open make_bars.rb and modify the following lines

ticket_height = in2pt(4.88) # height in inches
ticket_width = in2pt(2.13) # width in inches

# if changing ticket height or width you may also want to modify the barcode placement
bc_place = {
  :x => 10,
  :y => 21,
  :xdim => 0.8,
  :margin => 5
}

generate the barcodes

ruby make_bars.rb
