Property: Mirrored

(TBarcodeFmx2D_AztecCode, TBarcodeFmx2D_DataMatrix, etc.)

Specifies whether the barcode symbol is reversed right to left (horizontal mirror reversal).

Syntax:

property Mirrored: Boolean;

Description:

The property specifies whether the barcode symbol is reversed right to left (horizontal mirror reversal). If barcode symbols are obtained using a reflected optical path, a reversed scan direction or from behind through a clear substrate, you can set the Mirror property to true, so that the barcode symbols are easily autodiscriminated and decode with a standard reader. See diagram:

Mirrored property

If the leading, trailing, top, and bottom quiet zones are displayed (the ShowQuietZone property is set to true), they will not be included in the barcode symbol, and will not be reversed. See diagram (the SpaceColor property value is set to claSilver in order to accentuate the quiet zones):

Mirrored property (Quiet zones are shown)

If the barcode symbol is drawn using non-left-to-right orientation (the Orienation property isn't equal to boLeftRight, or the angle parameter isn't equal to zero degree in the DrawTo or the Print methods), the left to right reversal operation will be performed firstly, then the rotation operation. See diagram:
