Aztec Code

Aztec is a 2D matrix barcode designed for high readability even when printed at low resolution or on curved surfaces.

Basic Usage

using CodeGlyphX;
using CodeGlyphX.Aztec;

// Simple Aztec code
AztecCode.Save("Ticket: CONF-2024-001", "aztec.png");

// With error correction percentage
AztecCode.Save("Ticket data", "aztec.png", new AztecEncodeOptions {
    ErrorCorrectionPercent = 33
});

Binary payloads use the same generic rendering and file APIs:

using CodeGlyphX.Rendering;

byte[] payload = { 0x00, 0x01, 0xFE, 0xFF };

var png = AztecCode.Render(payload, OutputFormat.Png).Data;
AztecCode.Save(payload, "binary-ticket.svg");

Use Cases

• Transportation - Train and airline tickets
• Event tickets - Mobile ticketing apps
• Patient wristbands - Healthcare identification
• Curved surfaces - Bottles, tubes, cylinders

Advantages

Aztec codes don't require a quiet zone around them and can be read even when partially damaged, making them ideal for mobile ticketing.
