Scriptographer.org - EAN 13 barcode generator

This script generates an EAN 13 barcode from an ISBN number.

Credit must go to Håkan Lundgren for the basis of the script.

This script must be run in an empty document, as all paths in the document are united during the drawing.

The EAN-13 code must be of the form XXX-X-XX-XXXXXX-X for the text to be generated correctly, though it will still work without the hyphens.

The text spacing will need to be manually adjusted if the Min. barwidth is changed from 1 pt.

I’ve set the font to be Myriad Pro Regular, but you can change this easily in the script.

Hi there Graham, I am actually working on a new barcode generator.
The code will be heavily rewritten and support for a number of different barcode symbologies. So far, I have only added one new - Code 39 - but I plan to add more in the days to come.
Unfortunately the handling of text will be somewhat more simplified but this won't hinder anyone to manually modify and set the text to ones liking.

Great! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks, Håkan.

Graham and Hakan,

I've used the basics of your script to implement a barcode in a script that I am writing for our cutting system. It works like a blast! Thanks!
