Add margin to barcode image using C#

I'm creatin a Code39 barcode image with C# and I need to add margin to this image.
This is the first image which I created.
I created it.
But it should be like this.
It should be like this.
The code is complicated.
This code is creating barcode bars, number and title strings.
public byte[] Code39(string code, int barSize, bool showCodeString, string title, string fontFile)
{
// Create stream....
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
FontFamilyName = "Free 3 of 9";//ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["BarCodeFontFamily"];
FontFileName = fontFile;//#"C:\Documents and Settings\narottam.sharma\Desktop\Barcode\WSBarCode\Code39Font\FREE3OF9.TTF";// ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["BarCodeFontFile"];
FontSize = barSize;
ShowCodeString = showCodeString;
if (title + "" != "")
Title = title;
Bitmap objBitmap = GenerateBarcode(code);
objBitmap.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Png);
//return bytes....
return ms.GetBuffer();
}
public Bitmap GenerateBarcode(string barCode)
{
int bcodeWidth = 0;
int bcodeHeight = 0;
// Get the image container...
Bitmap bcodeBitmap = CreateImageContainer(barCode, ref bcodeWidth, ref bcodeHeight);
Graphics objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(bcodeBitmap);
// Fill the background
objGraphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.White), new Rectangle(0, 0, bcodeWidth, bcodeHeight));
int vpos = 0;
// Draw the title string
if (_titleString != null)
{
objGraphics.DrawString(_titleString, _titleFont, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), XCentered((int)_titleSize.Width, bcodeWidth), vpos);
vpos += (((int)_titleSize.Height) + _itemSepHeight);
}
// Draw the barcode
objGraphics.DrawString(barCode, Code39Font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), XCentered((int)_barCodeSize.Width, bcodeWidth), vpos);
// Draw the barcode string
if (_showCodeString)
{
vpos += (((int)_barCodeSize.Height));
objGraphics.DrawString(barCode, _codeStringFont, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), XCentered((int)_codeStringSize.Width, bcodeWidth), vpos);
}
// return the image...
return bcodeBitmap;
}
private Bitmap CreateImageContainer(string barCode, ref int bcodeWidth, ref int bcodeHeight)
{
Graphics objGraphics;
// Create a temporary bitmap...
Bitmap tmpBitmap = new Bitmap(1, 1, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(tmpBitmap);
// calculate size of the barcode items...
if (_titleString != null)
{
_titleSize = objGraphics.MeasureString(_titleString, _titleFont);
bcodeWidth = (int)_titleSize.Width;
bcodeHeight = (int)_titleSize.Height + _itemSepHeight;
}
_barCodeSize = objGraphics.MeasureString(barCode, Code39Font);
bcodeWidth = Max(bcodeWidth, (int)_barCodeSize.Width);
bcodeHeight += (int)_barCodeSize.Height;
if (_showCodeString)
{
_codeStringSize = objGraphics.MeasureString(barCode, _codeStringFont);
bcodeWidth = Max(bcodeWidth, (int)_codeStringSize.Width);
bcodeHeight += (_itemSepHeight + (int)_codeStringSize.Height);
}
// dispose temporary objects...
objGraphics.Dispose();
tmpBitmap.Dispose();
return (new Bitmap(bcodeWidth, bcodeHeight, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb));
}

You can modify the objGraphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.White), new Rectangle(0, 0, bcodeWidth, bcodeHeight)); call from GenerateBarcode and make the width greater.
var margin = VALUE NEEDED;
objGraphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.White), new Rectangle(margin, 0, bcodeWidth + margin, bcodeHeight));
// Draw additiona text to the left
objGraphics.DrawString(ADDITIONAL_TEXT, _titleFont, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new RectangleF(0, 0, margin, bcodeHeight)); //you can modify the rectangle area as needed

Reading Datastream sharpDX Error all values are 0

I followed this solution for my project : How to create bitmap from Surface (SharpDX)
I don't have enough reputation to comment so I'm opening a new question here.
My project is basically in Direct 2D, I have a Surface buffer, a swapchain. I want to put my buffer into a datastream and reads it's value to put it into a bitmap and save it on disk ( like a screen capture), but my code won't work since all the bytes values are 0 (which is black) and this doesn't make sense since my image is fully white with a bit of blue.
Here is my code :
SwapChainDescription description = new SwapChainDescription()
{
ModeDescription = new ModeDescription(this.Width, this.Height, new Rational(60, 1), Format.B8G8R8A8_UNorm),
SampleDescription = new SampleDescription(1, 0),
Usage = Usage.RenderTargetOutput,
BufferCount = 1,
SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Discard,
IsWindowed = true,
OutputHandle = this.Handle
};
Device.CreateWithSwapChain(DriverType.Hardware, DeviceCreationFlags.Debug | DeviceCreationFlags.BgraSupport, description, out device, out swapChain);
SharpDX.DXGI.Device dxgiDevice = device.QueryInterface<SharpDX.DXGI.Device>();
SharpDX.DXGI.Adapter dxgiAdapter = dxgiDevice.Adapter;
SharpDX.Direct2D1.Device d2dDevice = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.Device(dxgiDevice);
d2dContext = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.DeviceContext(d2dDevice, SharpDX.Direct2D1.DeviceContextOptions.None);
SharpDX.Direct3D11.DeviceContext d3DeviceContext = new SharpDX.Direct3D11.DeviceContext(device);
properties = new BitmapProperties(new SharpDX.Direct2D1.PixelFormat(SharpDX.DXGI.Format.B8G8R8A8_UNorm, SharpDX.Direct2D1.AlphaMode.Premultiplied),
96, 96);
Surface backBuffer = swapChain.GetBackBuffer<Surface>(0);
d2dTarget = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.Bitmap(d2dContext, backBuffer, properties);
d2dContext.Target = d2dTarget;
playerBitmap = this.LoadBitmapFromContentFile(#"C:\Users\ndesjardins\Desktop\wave.png");
//System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmapCanva = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(1254, 735);
d2dContext.BeginDraw();
d2dContext.Clear(SharpDX.Color.White);
d2dContext.DrawBitmap(playerBitmap, new SharpDX.RectangleF(0, 0, playerBitmap.Size.Width, playerBitmap.Size.Height), 1f, SharpDX.Direct2D1.BitmapInterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor);
SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush brush = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush(d2dContext, SharpDX.Color.Green);
d2dContext.DrawRectangle(new SharpDX.RectangleF(200, 200, 100, 100), brush);
d2dContext.EndDraw();
swapChain.Present(1, PresentFlags.None);
Texture2D backBuffer3D = backBuffer.QueryInterface<SharpDX.Direct3D11.Texture2D>();
Texture2DDescription desc = backBuffer3D.Description;
desc.CpuAccessFlags = CpuAccessFlags.Read;
desc.Usage = ResourceUsage.Staging;
desc.OptionFlags = ResourceOptionFlags.None;
desc.BindFlags = BindFlags.None;
var texture = new Texture2D(device, desc);
d3DeviceContext.CopyResource(backBuffer3D, texture);
byte[] data = null;
using (Surface surface = texture.QueryInterface<Surface>())
{
DataStream dataStream;
var map = surface.Map(SharpDX.DXGI.MapFlags.Read, out dataStream);
int lines = (int)(dataStream.Length / map.Pitch);
data = new byte[surface.Description.Width * surface.Description.Height * 4];
dataStream.Position = 0;
int dataCounter = 0;
// width of the surface - 4 bytes per pixel.
int actualWidth = surface.Description.Width * 4;
for (int y = 0; y < lines; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < map.Pitch; x++)
{
if (x < actualWidth)
{
data[dataCounter++] = dataStream.Read<byte>();
}
else
{
dataStream.Read<byte>();
}
}
}
dataStream.Dispose();
surface.Unmap();
int width = surface.Description.Width;
int height = surface.Description.Height;
byte[] bytewidth = BitConverter.GetBytes(width);
byte[] byteheight = BitConverter.GetBytes(height);
Array.Copy(bytewidth, 0, data, 0, 4);
Array.Copy(byteheight, 0, data, 4, 4);
}
Do you guys have any idea why the byte array that is returned at the end is full of 0 since it should be mostly 255? All I did in my backbuffer was to draw a bitmap image and a rectangle form. Array.Copy is to add the width and height header to the byte array, therefore I could create a bitmap out of it.

I answered in a comment but formatting is horrible so apologies!
https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/a/112978/29920 This looks promising but as you said in reply to mine, this was some time ago and I'm pulling this out of thin air, if it doesn't work either someone with more current knowledge will have to answer or I'll have to grab some source code and try myself.
SharpDX.Direct2D1.Bitmap dxbmp = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.Bitmap(renderTarget,
new SharpDX.Size2(bmpWidth, bmpHeight), new
BitmapProperties(renderTarget.PixelFormat));
dxbmp.CopyFromMemory(bmpBits, bmpWidth * 4);
This looks kind of like what you need. I'm assuming bmpBits in here is either a byte array or a memory stream either of which could then be saved off or at least give you something to look at to see if you're actually getting pixel data

drawing a rectangle for a bitmap clone

I have a bitmap in which i clone and specify a rectangle - the current rectangle has certain width and height values which i've used for checking the rectangle for a QR code. I noticed this checks the top left corner. I would i be able to alter this to check for top right corner, bottom right and left corners of the same size(width and height)?
Bitmap result = fullImg.Clone(new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, 375, 375), fullImg.PixelFormat);
Any help is greatly appreciated.
for (int pg = 0; pg < inputDocument.PageCount; pg++)
{
string workGif = workingFilename.Replace(".pdf", string.Format(".{0}.gif", pg + 1));
GhostscriptWrapper.GeneratePageThumb(workingFilename, workGif, pg + 1, 300, 300); // size (last two params) does not seem to have any effect
using (var fullImg = new Bitmap(workGif))
{
Bitmap result = fullImg.Clone(new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, 375, 375), fullImg.PixelFormat);
string QRinfo = Process(result);
MessageBox.Show(QRinfo);
string[] qcode = QRinfo.Split('/');
string gid = qcode[qcode.Count() - 1];
Guid pgGuid = new Guid(gid);
}
}
Process Method for qr
public string Process(Bitmap bitmap)
{
var reader = new com.google.zxing.qrcode.QRCodeReader();
try
{
LuminanceSource source = new RGBLuminanceSource(bitmap, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height);
var binarizer = new HybridBinarizer(source);
var binBitmap = new BinaryBitmap(binarizer);
return reader.decode(binBitmap).Text;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return e.Message;
}
}

If the QRCodes are ALWAYS on the corners, you can use a picturebox for the Bitmap, and then rotate it using the RotateFlip method:
Bitmap bp = new Bitmap("myImage.jpg");
pictureBox1.Image = bp;
bp.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone);
pictureBox1.Invalidate();

EmguCV SURF with cam?

i am new on EMGU CV. I would like to SURF detect more than one patterns with using cam. Like this video. But now, i try to develop this just one pattern for starting point.
I examined EMGUCV's SURF example. When i try to implement this codes to cam capture's example, error turns on run time. I searched more but did not find any code example.
So, do you suggest me a code snippet or tutorial which is explained good.

I found the SURF tutorial you used, but I don't see why it should cause an error. Have you been able to execute the tutorial code by itself, without the GPU acceleration complication?
Moreover, what error occurred?

Kinect - Detecting when a Human exits the frame

So what I'm trying to do is take the Kinect Skeletal Sample and save x amount of photos, only when a human goes by. I have gotten it to work, except once it detects a human it just records x amount of photos even once the person leaves the vision of Kinect. Does anyone know how to make it so that once a person enters it starts recording, and once they leave it stops?

In most setups I have used in the skeletal tracking event area there is a check for if (skeleton != null) all you need to do is reset your trigger once a null skeleton is received.
The SDK will send a skeleton frame every time the event is fired so...
if(skeleton != null)
{
\\do image taking here
}
else
{
\\reset image counter
}

I would try something like this. Create a bool class variable named SkeletonInFrame and initialize it to false. Every time SkeletonFrameReady fires, set this bool to true. When you process a color frame, only process if this variable is true. Then after you process a color frame, set the variable to false. This should help you stop processing frame when you are no longer receiving skeleton events.
