I am looking for QR code applications for F17. One(s) that generate QR codes from text strings, and the different versions with different text string lengths.
And applications that use the computer's camera to read the QR code and deliver the text string.
Right now this is for demonstrations.
thank you

# yum install qrencode or # yum install zint-qt

# yum install zbar
P.S. I found this by using # yum search barcode

Thanks. Finally got yumex to give me back some worthwhile search results and also found:
quearcode

# yum install zbar

Yes, and it seems to be the only reader. Doesn't list QR that I can see. Well install it and see if it works with my camera and reads codes I make.

Created one but printing is a little challenging, to get them a 'right' size. But for camera, reading 2x3 wallet size should be ok.

It does support QR codes, but I can't get it to do anything, other than to show the QR code in its window. There is no action to read and save the image. Maybe I should 1st try it with a 'real' qr code on some package.

I got zbar to work. The problem was that quearcode calls shotwell to display the qr code, and shotcode was chopping up the image on printing. I ended up using gthumb to print it better, then zbar was able to scan it and send the content to stdout. I also used a scanning app on my phone to read it and see the text. So now I can put together my demo.
thanks.
