Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting bar code information into a circular barcode from a linear format using a graphics generator are disclosed. Data representative of a user selected barcode are retrieved from storage along with stored character generator data defining a plurality of bars and spaces representative of the user-selected barcode. The retrieved barcode is transformed into a circular barcode for commanding a printer to cause a print of said circular barcode to be made.
