QRCode

touchgfx/widgets/QRCode.hpp

Widget capable of generating and showing a QRCode. This widget uses the QR Code generator library (C). https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library

Important: The application must allocate buffers and provide these through QRCode::setBuffers.

The QRCode supports framebuffer formats RGB565, RGB888, ARGB8888.

Public Functions Documentation

convertBinaryDataToQRCode

bool convertBinaryDataToQRCode(const uint8_t *data ,
size_tlength
)

Convert data to QRCode data and save in the buffer.

The function returns false if the encoding of the data does not fit in the QRCode. This depends on the version of the QRCode and the ECCLevel. If the data was not accepted, the QRCodeWidget does not draw anything. User must call invalidate() after changing the data. This function can e.g. be used to store UTF8 encoded strings.

Parameters:
dataThe data to show in the QRCode.
lengthLength of the data.
Returns:

True if data was converted.

convertStringToQRCode

bool convertStringToQRCode(const char *text)

Convert a text to QRCode data and save in the buffer.

The function returns false if the encoding of the string does not fit in the QRCode. This depends on the version of the QRCode and the ECCLevel. If the text was not accepted, the QRCodeWidget does not draw anything. User must call invalidate() after changing the data.

Parameters:
textThe text to show in the QRCode.
Returns:

True if data was converted.

draw

virtual void draw(const Rect &invalidatedArea)

Draw this drawable.

It is a requirement that the draw implementation does not draw outside the region specified by invalidatedArea.

Parameters:
invalidatedAreaThe sub-region of this drawable that needs to be redrawn, expressed in coordinates relative to its parent (e.g. for a complete redraw, invalidatedArea will be (0, 0, width, height).

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::draw

getAlpha

uint8_t getAlpha()const

Gets the current alpha value of the widget.

The alpha value is in range 255 (solid) to 0 (invisible).

Returns:

The current alpha value.

See also:

getErrorCorrectionLevel

ECCLevel getErrorCorrectionLevel()const

Gets the current error correction level.

Returns:

The current error correction level.

See also:

getQRCodeVersion

uint8_t getQRCodeVersion()const

Gets the current QRCode version.

Returns:

The current version.

See also:

getScale

int getScale()const

Gets the current scale of the QRCode.

Returns:

The current scale.

See also:

getSolidRect

virtual Rect getSolidRect()const

Get (the largest possible) rectangle that is guaranteed to be solid (opaque).

This information is important, as any Drawable underneath the solid area does not need to be drawn.

Returns:

The solid rectangle part of the Drawable.

Note

The rectangle returned must be relative to upper left corner of the Drawable, meaning that a completely solid widget should return the full size Rect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight()). If no area can be guaranteed to be solid, an empty Rect must be returned. Failing to return the correct rectangle may result in errors on the display.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::getSolidRect

QRCode

Construct a new QRCode using black and white colors with alpha 255.

The user must supply buffers and set the scale and QR version as wanted.

setAlpha

void setAlpha(uint8_tnewAlpha)

Sets the opacity (alpha value).

This can be used to fade it away by gradually decreasing the alpha value from 255 (solid) to 0 (invisible).

Parameters:
newAlphaThe new alpha value. 255=solid, 0=invisible.
Note

The user code must call invalidate() in order to update the display.

setBuffers

void setBuffers(uint8_t *qrBuffer ,
uint8_t *tempBuffer
)

Sets the buffers used for QRCode generation.

The length of the buffers must match the version of the QRCode used. Use the above macro QRCODE_BUFFER_SIZE(version) when allocating buffers. The qrBuffer is holding the QRCode bit-stream. The tempBuffer is only used during QRCode generation. It can be used for other purposes afterwards and shared between Widgets.

Parameters:
qrBufferBuffer to store the QRcode.
tempBufferScratch buffer used during QRCode generation.

setColors

void setColors(colortypecolorBlack ,
colortypecolorWhite
)

Sets the colors used for the QRCode.

Black and White is traditionally used, but other colors will also work.

Parameters:
colorBlackThe color used for 'black' pixels.
colorWhiteThe color used the 'white' pixels.

setErrorCorrectionLevel

Sets the desired level of error correction codes.

Parameters:
levelThe level of ECC.

setQRCodeVersion

void setQRCodeVersion(uint8_tversion)

Sets the version (size) of the QRCode.

Version is between 1 to 40.

Parameters:
versionThe QRCode version to use.

setScale

void setScale(intnewScale)

Sets the scale of the QRCode.

Each bit will be shown as scale pixels.

Parameters:
newScaleThe scale to use.
