    <p>It's going to look kinda funny if you have to compare barcodes of different widths side-by-side, but my company solved it by defining each symbol in terms of a 1x?? bitmap and scaling it up to the size required for the application. For example, each code 128 symbol, except Stop, is eleven pixels wide. Our "font" then has 107 characters defined, each a 1x11 black and white bitmap (PNG).</p> <p>It makes fitting the barcode into the space provided much simpler if you have that much control over vertical and horizontal dimensioning.</p> <p>Here's a quick example similar to the picture up above:</p> <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false"> <div class="snippet-code"> <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code> &lt;img alt="104,{Start B}" title="104,{Start B}"

    1. COVery interesting! I'll take a look at this; thanks a lot for your answer. My scanner seems to have a problem to read the one with more data on less space, though. (From my screen, I'll try it on paper tomorrow when I get access to a printer)

    2. COYes, the browser does not necessarily produce scanable barcodes due to the anti-aliasing filter applied to the display. When the page is printed, however, the barcode scans quite well on paper. You can access the complete font at http://notionovus.com/blog/code-128-barcode/

    3. COI tried it out, and it worked great on paper! On some angles, the more "comprimated" code was somewhat harder to read. Many, many thanks for your answer!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
