A Standard Form with Barcodes and Custom Entries
Having made a script for generating Code 39 barcodes, I wanted to take this one step further, and use that script inside a larger script that creates a form that I use which has barcodes on it.
Here it is:
Something else I've done in selected situations is to take screengrabs of selected brain scan images, then add them with image frames to the page, when this seems useful. Very easy of course with Scribus.
consultation.py
One change you might consider in your own form script compared with this one is to not exit when a "bad" character is entered for the barcode. For my purposes, I felt that if I did make a mistake, I would just delete the page and start all over.
If you happen to try out this script, notice that the valueDialogs ask for 2 bits of info each, separated by white space.
