# qr_labels

I was packing boxes and nerd-sniped myself by deciding I needed a labelling
and cataloguing system to help me keep track of what was there.

To do that I needed to print labels for boxes, and figured it might be useful
if they also had QR codes on them.

I thought there would be a simple online tool to create pages of identical 
QR labels, but apparently not.

# installing

    go install  code.ppl.town/justin/qr_labels/cmd/qr_labels@latest

or, you can just run it without installing:

    go run code.ppl.town/justin/qr_labels/cmd/qr_labels@latest <arguments>

# Synopsis

Generate a page with 6 labels, where the QR code represents the string
"hello world" and the printed label is the same,

    qr_labels -code "hello world" -code-is-label -rows 3 -cols 2 -output labels1.pdf

Generate a page with 24 labels, with the code being a URL and the text label 
being a different string. Adjust the sizes of the code and the font and include
borders between each label:

    qr_labels -code "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -label 'innocent link' -rows 6 -cols 4 -size 30 -font-style BI -borders -font-size 20 -output labels2.pdf

# Help
