+ZBarReaderController Class Reference
+====================================
+
+.. class:: ZBarReaderController
+
+ :Inherits from: :class:`UIImagePickerController`
+
+ This is the controller to use for scanning images selected by a
+ :class:`UIImagePickerController` either captured manually using the camera,
+ or selected from the Photo Library. For more information, see
+ :doc:`picker`.
+
+ It can support automatic capture from the camera only if the library is
+ re-built to use private APIs (see :doc:`compat`).
+
+
+Properties
+----------
+
+ .. member:: ZBarImageScanner *scanner
+
+ Access to the image scanner for configuration. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: id<ZBarReaderDelegate> readerDelegate
+
+ The delegate that will be notified when new barcode results are
+ available.
+
+ .. member:: BOOL showsZBarControls
+
+ Whether to display a default control set consisting of cancel, scan and
+ info buttons. Disable these if you provide your own controls using the
+ :member:`cameraOverlayView`. Enabling this automatically disables the
+ system controls :member:`showsCameraControls`. (Default ``YES``).
+
+ .. member:: BOOL showsHelpOnFail
+
+ Whether to automatically display the integrated help viewer when an
+ image fails to decode. Even if this is disabled, the integrated help
+ may still be presented manually using ``showHelpWithReason:``.
+ (Default ``YES``)
+
+ .. member:: ZBarReaderControllerCameraMode cameraMode
+
+ Scanning mode to use with the camera. It is generally appropriate to
+ leave this at the default.
+
+ .. member:: BOOL tracksSymbols
+
+ Whether to display the tracking rectangle around detected barcodes.
+
+ .. member:: BOOL takesPicture
+
+ Whether to take a full picture (with ``takePicture``) when a barcode
+ is detected with ``ZBarReaderControllerCameraModeSampling``. The
+ resulting image will be delayed from the actual decode.
+
+ .. member:: BOOL enableCache
+
+ This property is deprecated and should not be modified.
+
+ .. member:: CGRect scanCrop
+
+ Crop images before scanning. The original image will be cropped to this
+ rectangle, which should be in normalized image coordinates, x-axis
+ major. Defaults to the full image ``{{0, 0}, {1, 1}}``.
+
+ .. member:: NSInteger maxScanDimension
+
+ Scale image to scan. After cropping, the image will be scaled if
+ necessary, such that neither of its dimensions exceed this value.
+ Defaults to 640.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The remaining properties are inherited from
+ :class:`UIImagePickerController`.
+
+ .. member:: UIImagePickerControllerSourceType sourceType
+
+ Image source. Use to select between the camera and photo library.
+
+ .. member:: BOOL showsCameraControls
+
+ Whether to display the system camera controls. Overridden to ``NO``
+ when :member:`showsZBarControls` is ``YES``.
+
+ .. member:: UIView *cameraOverlayView
+
+ A custom view to display over the camera preview. The tracking layer
+ and default controls will be added to this view if they are enabled.
+
+ .. member:: CGAffineTransform cameraViewTransform
+
+ A transform to apply to the camera preview. Ignored by the reader.
+ Possibly useful for eg, a digital zoom effect.
+
+ .. member:: BOOL allowsEditing
+
+ Whether to enable the system image editing dialog after a picture is
+ taken. Possibly useful to improve reader results in some cases using
+ manual intervention.
+
+
+Instance Methods
+----------------
+
+ .. _`showHelpWithReason:`:
+ .. describe:: - (void) showHelpWithReason:(NSString*)reason
+
+ Display the integrated help browser. Use this with custom overlays if
+ you don't also want to create your own help view. Should only be called
+ when the reader is displayed. The ``reason`` argument will be passed to
+ the :func:`onZBarHelp` javascript function.
+
+ :reason: A string parameter passed to javascript.
+
+ .. _`scanImage:`:
+ .. describe:: - (id <NSFastEnumeration>) scanImage:(CGImageRef)image
+
+ Scan an image for barcodes. This is a wrapper around
+ ``scanner.scanImage`` that applies scanCrop and maxScanDimension. Some
+ additional result filtering is also performed.
+
+ :image: A :class:`CGImage` to scan.
+ :Returns: The result set containing :class:`ZBarSymbol` objects.
+
+
+Constants
+---------
+
+.. type:: ZBarReaderControllerCameraMode
+
+ The scanning mode to use with the camera.
+
+ ZBarReaderControllerCameraModeDefault
+ The standard mode provided by UIImagePickerController - the user
+ manually captures an image by tapping a control. This is the default
+ unless private APIs are enabled.
+
+ ZBarReaderControllerCameraModeSampling
+ Automatically capture by taking screenshots with
+ :func:`UIGetScreenImage`. Resolution is limited to the screen
+ resolution, so this mode is inappropriate for longer codes. Only
+ available when private APIs are enabled, and becomes the default mode in
+ that case.
+
+ ZBarReaderControllerCameraModeSequence
+ Experimental mode that automatically scans by "rapidly" scanning
+ pictures captured with ``takePicture``. Not recommended for serious
+ use.
+
+.. c:var:: NSString *ZBarReaderControllerResults
+
+ The info dictionary key used to return decode results to
+ ``imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:``
