Sample barcodes

sample-barcodes

For the preparations of an asset management in combination with Netbox we needed a larger amount of barcodes for preliminary tests. Anyhow we didn't find anything usable and so this repository was created.

In principle, barcodes can be generated for all barcode types supported by bwipp/postscriptbarcode. Feel free to create a PR to add new types. treepoem is used for the creation of the barcodes.

In the directory samples is for each barcode type a README.md file with 20 generated barcode image of this type.
