Hi,

with version 2.4.0 the EAN13 label had following format: image

with version 3.0.3 the format changed to: image

With upgrade to version 3.0.3 the format of the label changed for our usecase in a incompatible way. @barnhill: Do you plan to adapt or enhance to support the format as it was in version 2.4.0?

There was a massive overhaul of the drawing code when moving into 3+. The labels are a challenge and need some work. I'm open to any help to get them working as they were again or if I get a chance to look at them I will.

Labels need to resize and grow or shrink to the space provided for each section of text. I could use some help with that area of the code if anyone is open to creating a PR.
