rqrcode_png

Problem: You need to generate your own QR code images
Solution: rqrcode_png

Overview

rqrcode_png extends rqrcode, adding one simple method to instances of QRCode, #to_img. ChunkyPNG is used to generate the image itself in pure Ruby. As few assumptions are made as possible regarding the image itself.

Usage

require 'rqrcode_png'

qr = RQRCode::QRCode.new( 'my string to generate', :size => 4, :level => :h )
png = qr.to_img												# returns an instance of ChunkyPNG
png.resize(90, 90).save("really_cool_qr_image.png")

NOTE: For now, the :size of the QR code has to be 14 or less. Working on this.

Bundler
