=======
Barcode
=======
This demo shows how to produce a bar code.

The figure size is calculated so that the width in pixels is a multiple of the
number of data points to prevent interpolation artifacts. Additionally, the
``Axes`` is defined to span the whole figure and all ``Axis`` are turned off.

The data itself is rendered with `~.Axes.imshow` using

- ``code.reshape(1, -1)`` to turn the data into a 2D array with one row.
- ``imshow(..., aspect='auto')`` to allow for non-square pixels.
- ``imshow(..., interpolation='nearest')`` to prevent blurred edges. This
  should not happen anyway because we fine-tuned the figure width in pixels,
  but just to be safe.
