Avery Dennison Pathfinder 6140 - Defining the Drawmode Tag (Optional)

3-4 LNT Programmer’s Manual
Defining the DrawMode Tag (Optional)
The DrawMode tag specifies the transparency of the bounding box.
Valid values include: Transparent, Opaque, and XOR. The default is Transparent.
Transparent
The bounding box does not block out (or “erase”) existing fields except where data
appears in the bounding box
.
Opaque
The bounding box blocks out (“erases”) existing fields below it.
XOR
The data in the bounding box appears inverted (white
image on black background).
Field placement in the file is an important consideration when using DrawMode. If a line field
is defined before the text field, the line field may be blocked out, depending on the text field’s
DrawMode. If a line field is defined after the text field, the line field is not blocked out by the
selected DrawMode.
Syntax <DrawMode>value</DrawMode>
Example <DrawMode>Opaque</DrawMode>
Sets the text field’s DrawMode to opaque, which erases any other fields on the label with the
same coordinates.
