### Custom SVG Renderer Implementation

Source: https://github.com/micjahn/zxing.net/wiki/Using-a-custom-renderer

Create a custom renderer for SVG output by implementing the IBarcodeRenderer interface. This allows ZXing.Net to generate barcodes in SVG format.

```csharp
public class SvgRenderer : IBarcodeRenderer<SvgRenderer.SvgImage>
{
   public SvgImage Render(BitMatrix matrix, BarcodeFormat format, string content, EncodingOptions options)
   {
      var result = new SvgImage(matrix.Width, matrix.Height);

... create the svg paths here ...

      return result;
   }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Custom Bitmap Renderer Implementation

Source: https://github.com/micjahn/zxing.net/wiki/Using-a-custom-renderer

Implement a custom renderer that inherits from BitmapRenderer to modify the generated Bitmap output. This is useful when you want to alter the image before it's finalized but maintain the platform-specific Bitmap format.

```csharp
public class CustomBitmapRenderer : BitmapRenderer
{
   public override Bitmap Render(BitMatrix matrix, BarcodeFormat format, string content, EncodingOptions options)
   {
... your own custom implementation should be added here ...
   }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Handling URI Results

Source: https://github.com/micjahn/zxing.net/blob/master/Source/test/data/blackbox/aztec-2/21.txt

The `handle()` method is called to process the URI result. It typically involves displaying the URI to the user and offering options to interact with it, such as opening it in a browser.

```Java
public boolean handle() {
    final String data = getResult().getText();
    if (data.contains("://")) {
      final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
      intent.setData(Uri.parse(data));
      startActivity(intent);
    } else {
      // This case should not happen, but as a fallback, show the text
      final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
      builder.setTitle(R.string.msg_default_mms_content);
      builder.setMessage(data);
      builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.button_ok, (dialog, which) -> { /* do nothing */ });
      builder.setOnCancelListener(dialog -> {
        activity.finish();
      });
      builder.show();
    }
    return true;
  }
```

--------------------------------

### Using the Custom SVG Barcode Writer

Source: https://github.com/micjahn/zxing.net/wiki/Using-a-custom-renderer

Instantiate and use the custom BarcodeWriterSvg to generate SVG barcode images. Set the desired barcode format and call the Write method with your content.

```csharp
var writer = new BarcodeWriterSvg
{
   Format = BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE
};
var svgImage = writer.Write("<your content here>");
```

--------------------------------

### Loading Font from Asset

Source: https://github.com/micjahn/zxing.net/blob/master/Clients/MonoAndroidDemo/Assets/AboutAssets.txt

Some Android functions can automatically load asset files. Use Typeface.CreateFromAsset to load a font file from the assets directory.

```csharp
Typeface tf = Typeface.CreateFromAsset (Context.Assets, "fonts/samplefont.ttf");
```
