Symbol capabilities

CodeGlyphX currently describes 46 physical symbol formats through SymbolCapabilities. This table is generated from that runtime registry, so the website and the public API report the same support boundary.

“Module decode” means CodeGlyphX can decode an already sampled BitMatrix or module sequence. “Image scan” means SymbolScanner can recognize the format from pixels. A module-only format is not presented as camera/image recognition support.

Check a capability at runtime

var capability = SymbolCapabilities.Get(SymbolFormat.DataMatrix);

if (capability.CanScanImages)
{
    var result = SymbolScanner.Scan(imageBytes, new ScanOptions
    {
        Formats = new[] { SymbolFormat.DataMatrix }
    });
}

The directional columns distinguish encoding from decoding, so callers can check the exact operation they need instead of treating a format name as a blanket support claim.
