  • name - Default: None

  • visible - Default: True

    Set to False if you want to make it not visible.

  • height - Default: 1.5*cm

  • width - Default: 0.03*cm

    This attribute does not set the barcode width, but the bar width, what means it is the width of the minimum bar of a barcode. You should set values like 0.02*cm or something like that (i.e. never 5*cm).

  • attribute_name - Default: None

    As same as geraldo.widgets.ObjectValue, this attribute reffers to an attribute, attribute path or method to get the barcode value.

  • checksum - Default: 0

    Most of barcode types supports you set the number of digits for checksum.

  • routing_attribute - Default: None

    Useful only for USPS_4State barcodes. Works like attribute_name, but routing attribute of barcode.
