# let's create postscript:
barcode -E -b "$CODE" -o $TMP
# convert to png
convert -density 600 $TMP $FNAME.png
# use:
#
# bash create_barcode.sh 123456789 output_barcode #it autodetect's the preferable encoding
#
# this creates "output_barcode.png"

This script creates a barcode from ubuntu/linux command line (perhaps other distros).
