Encoding

qrprinter.encode_string

qrprinter.encode_string( string )

Encodes string into a table representing a QR code.
Returns a two-dimensional sequential table of true/false values representing black/white QR modules.

Printing

All print functions accept an optional table options that may contain two keys:

invert: If non-nil, the output colors will be inverted
padding: Number of blanks cells to print around the QR code (default 2)

qrprinter.print_qr

qrprinter.print_qr( qr, [options] )

Print qr to stdout using ANSI escape sequences.
Alias of qrprinter.print_qr_ansi.

qrprinter.print_qr_ascii

qrprinter.print_qr_ascii( qr, [options] )

Print qr to stdout using ASCII characters.

qrprinter.print_qr_ansi

qrprinter.print_qr_ansi( qr, [options] )

Print qr to stdout using ANSI escape sequences.

qrprinter.print_qr_utf8

qrprinter.print_qr_utf8( qr, [options] )

Print qr to stdout using UTF8 block elements.
