+ZBarSymbol Class Reference
+==========================
+
+.. class:: ZBarSymbol
+
+ :Inherits from: :class:`NSObject`
+
+ A symbol wraps all of the information the library has about a decoded
+ barcode. Use the available properties to retrieve the barcode data, the
+ symbology (type of barcode), location and more.
+
+ This class is a simple wrapper around a :type:`zbar_symbol_t` C object
+ (q.v.)
+
+
+Properties
+----------
+
+ .. member:: zbar_symbol_type_t type
+
+ The type of symbology that was decoded. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: NSString *typeName
+
+ The canonical name used by the library to represent the symbology.
+ (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: NSUInteger configMask
+
+ Bitmask of symbology config settings used during decode.
+
+ .. member:: NSUInteger modifierMask
+
+ Bitmask of symbology characteristics detected during decode. See
+ :type:`zbar_modifier_t` for the currently defined modifier bits.
+
+ .. member:: NSString *data
+
+ The raw decoded barcode data. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: int quality
+
+ A relative metric indicating rough confidence in the decoded value.
+ Larger values are better than smaller values. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: zbar_orientation_t orientation
+
+ The general, axis-aligned orientation of the symbol, or
+ ZBAR_ORIENT_UNKNOWN if unknown. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: ZBarSymbolSet *components
+
+ The components of a composite symbol. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: const zbar_symbol_t *zbarSymbol
+
+ Retrieve the underlying C object instance. (read-only)
+
+ .. member:: CGRect bounds
+
+ Calculate a rough bounding box for the symbol. (read-only)
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Coordinates are relative to the image *data*, which may not match a
+ displayed UIImage. Make sure to account for the UIImage orientation
+ when using these values.
+
+
+Class Methods
+-------------
+
+ .. _`nameForType:`:
+ .. describe:: + (NSString*) nameForType:(zbar_symbol_type_t)type
+
+ Retrieve the canonical name for a symbology used by the library, given
+ its enumerated value.
+
+ :type: The :type:`zbar_symbol_type_t` enumerated symbology value.
+ :Returns: A short string name for the symbology.
+
+
+Instance Methods
+----------------
+
+ .. _`initWithSymbol:`:
+ .. describe:: - (id) initWithSymbol:(const zbar_symbol_t*)symbol
+
+ Initialize a symbol wrapper, given the C object to wrap.
+
+ :symbol: The C object to wrap.
+ :Returns: The initialized symbol, or nil if an error occurred.
+
+
+Constants
+---------
+
+.. type:: zbar_symbol_type_t
+
+ Symbology identifiers.
+
+ ZBAR_NONE
+ No symbol was decoded.
+
+ ZBAR_PARTIAL

+
+.. type:: zbar_orientation_t
+
+ The coarse orientation of a symbol.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Orientation is relative to the image *data*, which may not match a
+ displayed UIImage. Make sure to account for the UIImage orientation
+ when using these values.
+
+ ZBAR_ORIENT_UNKNOWN
+ Unable to determine orientation.
+
+ ZBAR_ORIENT_UP
+ Upright, read left to right
+
+ ZBAR_ORIENT_RIGHT
+ Sideways, read top to bottom
+
+ ZBAR_ORIENT_DOWN
+ Upside-down, read right to left
+
+ ZBAR_ORIENT_LEFT
+ Sideways, read bottom to top
+
+.. type:: zbar_modifier_t
+
+ Decoder symbology modifier flags.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ These are bit indices, use eg, (1 << ZBAR_MOD_GS1) to test the
+ modifierMask property.
+
+ ZBAR_MOD_GS1
+ Barcode tagged as GS1 (EAN.UCC) reserved (eg, FNC1 before first data
+ character). Data may be parsed as a sequence of GS1 AIs.
+
+ ZBAR_MOD_AIM
+ Barcode tagged as AIM reserved.
