DESCRIPTION
       GD::Barcode::UPCE is a subclass of GD::Barcode and allows you to create
       UPC-E barcode image with GD.  This module based on "Generate Barcode
       Ver 1.02 By Shisei Hanai 97/08/22".

   new
       $oGdBar = GD::Barcode::UPCE->new($sTxt);

       Constructor.  Creates a GD::Barcode::UPCE object for $sTxt.  $sTxt has
       6 or 7 or 8 numeric characters([0-9]).  If $sTxt has 6 characters, this
       module adds '0' at the front of $sTxt.  and calculates CD for you.  If
       $sTxt has 7 characters, this module calaculates CD for you.

   plot()
       $oGd = $oGdBar->plot([Height => $iHeight, NoText => 0 | 1]);

       creates GD object with barcode image for the $sTxt specified at new
       method.  $iHeight is height of the image. If NoText is 1, the image has
       no text image of $sTxt.

        ex.
         my $oGdB = GD::Barcode::UPCE->new('123456');
         my $oGD = $oGdB->plot(NoText=>1, Height => 20);
         # $sGD is a GD image with Height=>20 pixels, with no text.

   barcode()
       $sPtn = $oGdBar->barcode();

       returns a barcode pattern in string with '1', 'G' and '0'.  '1' means
       black, 'G' also means black but little bit long, '0' means white.

        ex.
         my $oGdB = GD::Barcode::UPCE->new('123456');
         my $sPtn = $oGdB->barcode();
         # $sPtn = '';

   $errStr
       $GD::Barcode::UPCE::errStr
