Examples

var
  symbols: TIEVisionVectorObjRef;
  s: TIEVisionBarCodeSymbol;
  i: integer;
begin
  symbols := IEVisionLib.createBarCodeScanner().scan(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage(), IEVisionRect(0, 0, 0, 0));
  for i := 0 to symbols.size() - 1 do
  begin
    s := TIEVisionBarCodeSymbol( symbols.getObj(i) );
    Memo1.Lines.Add('type = ' + s.getSymbolType().c_str());
    Memo1.Lines.Add('data = ' + s.getData().c_str());
    with s.getBoundingBox() do
      Memo1.Lines.Add('rect = ' + inttostr(x) + ' ' + inttostr(y) + ' ' + inttostr(width) + ' ' + inttostr(height));
  end;
end;


// Find barcode in image
barCodeSymbols := IEVisionLib.createBarCodeScanner().scan( ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage(), IEVisionRect( 0, 0, 0, 0 ) );
if barCodeSymbols.size() > 0 then
  ShowMessage( sym.getData().c_str() + ' (' + sym.getSymbolType().c_str() + ')' );

The following image returns "39123439 (Code-39)"
