Mandriva One video tour

10-17-2008 11:00 AM
We loaded and ran the 2009 (10th Anniversary) edition of Mandriva Linux One, which we reviewed earlier this week. It's pretty, it's smooth, and it had a few problems with the GUI software install/remove utility that would leave a new user scratching his head, but overall, it's a nice update to a distro that started out with the idea that ordinary, non-technical computer users should be able to install and run GNU/Linux without expert help -- and that still adheres to this principle.

NAME
Barcode::ZBar::Processor - self-contained bar code reader SYNOPSIS
setup: use Barcode::ZBar; my $reader = Barcode::ZBar::Processor->new(); $reader->init("/dev/video1", 1); $reader->parse_config('code39.disable'); $reader->set_data_handler(&my_handler); scan an image: $reader->process_image($image); scan from video: $reader->set_visible(); $reader->set_active(); $reader->user_wait(); DESCRIPTION
A Barcode::ZBar::Processor may be used to quickly create stand-alone bar code scanning applications. It has interfaces to scan images or video and to optionally display a video/image preview to a window. This interface is not well suited for integration with an existing GUI, as the library manages the optional preview window and any user interaction. Use a Barcode::ZBar::ImageScanner or Investigate the avilable widget interfaces for GUI applications. REFERENCE
Methods new() Create a new bar code reader instance. init([video_device], [enable_display]) Open a video input device and/or prepare to display output. set_data_handler([handler], [closure]) Setup a callback to process results whenever new results are available from the video stream or a static image. The specified callable will be invoked with the associated Barcode::ZBar::Processor object and closure as arguments. Closure may be achieved either using standard Perl closure or by manually passing a scalar via closure. is_visible() set_visible([visible]) Test/set visibility of the output window. set_active([active]) Enable/disable video streaming and scanning for bar codes. get_results() Return a list of Barcode::ZBar::Symbol results from the last scanned image or video frame. user_wait([timeout]) Wait for the user to press a key/button or close the window. Bar codes will continue to be processed if video is active. process_one([timeout]) Enable video and scan until at least one barcode is found. Note that multiple results may still be returned. process_image([image]) Scan a Barcode::ZBar::Image for bar codes. parse_config(configstr) Apply a decoder configuration setting. See the documentation for "zbarcam"/"zbarimg" for available configuration options. request_size(width, height) Request a preferred size for the video image from the device. The request may be adjusted or completely ignored by the driver. Must be called before "init()" SEE ALSO
