NAME
       pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code PBM image


SYNOPSIS
       pbmupc

       [-s1 | -s2] type manufacturer product


DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1)

       pbmupc generates an image of a Universal Product Code symbol.  The
       three arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit
       manufacturer code, and a five digit product code.  For example, '0
       72890 00011' is the code for Heineken.

       As presently configured, pbmupc produces an image 230 bits wide and 175
       bits high.  The size can be altered by changing the defines at the
       beginning of the program, or by running the output through pamenlarge
       or pamscale.


OPTIONS
       The -s1 and -s2 options select the style of UPC to generate.  The
       default, -s1, looks more or less like this:

        ||||||||||||||||
        ||||||||||||||||
        ||||||||||||||||
        ||||||||||||||||
       0||12345||67890||5

       The other style, -s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and
       doesn't display the checksum digit:

        ||||||||||||||||
        ||||||||||||||||
       0||||||||||||||||
        ||||||||||||||||
        ||12345||67890||
