Support for Swiss QR Code #61

Closed simhof-basyskom closed 2 years ago

simhof-basyskom commented 7 years ago

Hi, Switzerland will introduce a "special" Swiss QR Code (ISO-20022) as mandatory for bills in the future, see for example https://www.paymentstandards.ch/en/home/schemes/payment-slips.html. The new code seems to be a standard QR Code just with a swiss flag symbol planted in the middle.

Could zint support the creation of such a code directly; or more generally add a method to overlay an image over the produced code?

@simhof-basyskom ,

I'm just a zint user here, so I don't speak with any authority, but I think you can just overlay the image over the top of the QR code. I believe that's the way it's done where i've seen it.

QR codes have a certain level of error/corruption tolerance, so the QR code will still work as long as you have this error tolerance setup to the correct level.

@lukebranch , thanks. Yeah, I guess that should work fine.

On one hand an integrated solution would be nicer to use, on the other hand I can see why including only loosely related functionality into zint might not be the best of ideas.

So I'll leave this for the developers to decide and close (or implement) accordingly.

I suppose, the overlayed "+" in the code is not important. It is a gimmick you can just leave out to increase reading performence and reliability.

Another remark: you are using the github for comments. If you really want to get attention from the developpers please use the mailing list or the ticket system at sourceforge.

Thank you, Harald

Hi have opened a ticket for this at SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/p/zint/tickets/262/ so will close the issue here as this fork is no longer in use. Thanks for the feedback all.
