A special kind of text frame is the Barcode Frame. If a frame with the Barcode feature is selected and one switches to the Text tab the frame will show the Barcode properties.
Barcodes are always displayed fully fitted and in proportion to their assigned frames. Text will define the Barcode content. One can use the same ${…} options as in single line text frames. See Single Line text features for more information.
Code Type - Selects the Barcode type.
Barcode Options - Here one can set additional properties available depending on the type of Barcode. Please see Barcode Parameter Options (Link: Barcode Options)
Barcode Color - Defines the color of the drawn portion of the Barcode (The background will remain transparent until one adds a shape feature to define the background color).
