I'd hire someone to make an Xcmd to do the bitwork to obtain the image:
(tiffWidth, tiffHeight info should be in the headers of the tiff file)
getThePattern(tiffData, tiffWidth, tiffHeight,blockwidth,blockHeight)
which would return rawData of blockWidth and blockHeight
If you have to just determine if a barcode is there, then that should
be fairly easy -- compare start/sync bars at the beginning and end.
If you have to read the actual barcode numbers , I'd create another Xcmd.
these guys might do it: http://www.undu.com/DN960501/00000005.htm
If you do all of the reading and conversion in Transcript, you should
probably use arrays for speed.
quite a challenge. Nice project.
