This may interest those of you who are familiar with the LaTeX document publishing system.
Herbert Voss has created pst-barcode, part of the PSTricks package that is shipped as standard with TeX on many Linux distributions.
This package will shortly allow barcodes to be embedded within your TeX documents with a command that is similar to the equivalent direct PostScript:
\psbarcode{THIS IS CODE 39}{includecheck}{code39}
Parameters for rescaling, translating and rotating barcodes can also be passed using the following syntax:
\psbarcode[scalex=2,scaley=1.4,rotate=90]{THIS IS CODE 39}{includecheck}{code39}
I'm sure that many people will find this very useful. Many thanks to the author Herbert Voss.
The packages are available on CTAN at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-barcode/
Have fun,

I have been collaborating with Herbert Voss in the development of a new LaTeX package called pst-barcode as part of the PSTricks set of packages which is installed by default on the majority of LaTeX distributions.
