Found some C code that will make postscript and pbm files of the barcode image.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf417encode
My VFP app had to create image files on the fly when the REPO FORM NAMETAG was run. VFP could never really deal with having the image data in memory, and that has always caused me grief.
So what are the chances of hacking the C code to just return the "image data" so that it can be stored in a python var or so that the report tool (which I am totally clueless about) can just render the image from the data, not create a file and then read the file into memory.
