| Aug 13, 2012 at 22:34 | comment | added | ParoX | (1) The question deals with putting an image on the path, not barcodes. (2) I made this assumption because it doens't work for me at all: youtube.com/watch?v=isQLxsD6ENw (3) I realize that now. | |
| Aug 13, 2012 at 22:24 | comment | added | Farray | @BHare Just noticed the question revision -- I don't know of a way to do what you're trying to do. The closest I can think of would be to do many small transforms using Envelope Distort (Illustrator) or Shear (Photoshop) - but neither of these will render particularly good results and, if you're still thinking about doing a puzzle out of a barcode, will certainly not be decipherable. | |

| Aug 13, 2012 at 22:13 | comment | added | Farray | @BHare (1) Your question makes no mention of Code 128. (2) DaFont generated the image using the font listed and the text I provided. Another example with Code 39 from DaFont.. (3) The links were not intended to promote any software, the information they have listed on the page is good information. Links have been changed to Wikipedia to avoid confusion. | |
| Aug 13, 2012 at 21:51 | comment | added | ParoX | Also I want to comment that it's suppose to very cryptic but not super impossible to detect, given the path is based on parametric plot (16 sin^3 t, 13 cos t - 5 cos 2t - 2 cos 3t - cos 4t) for the heart shape, it would be mathematically possible to convert it back to a readable barcode. | |
| Aug 13, 2012 at 21:39 | comment | added | ParoX | Yes, I have done research on barcodes and I am aware that each one is different. I specifically want code 128 which does indeed have a start and stop character as well as encoding, check character and quiet zones. This is why the fonts do not work. In your example, that specific picture works, probably as it was generated as a demo. However using the fonts itself yields nothing readable: i.minus.com/jbCdLCaouBrAX.png (made with code 39 from DaFont). Furthermore, the software you linked is a barcode generator software and does not allow anything in photoshop at all. (It is not a font) | |
