Barcode Symbologies

Do you have a list of the Code EAN bitpattern?

Code EAN has three sets of bar / space groups, dubbed A, B, and C (B is equal to A only that bars and spaces are swapped). The first six symbols of a Code EAN 13 barcode are constructed from sets A and B, the second six symbols are from set C. Here are the corresponding Code EAN bar pattern arrays in C-style format for the digits 0 - 9 (alternating bars, spaces).

int a[10][4] =
{
  {3,2,1,1},
  {2,2,2,1},
  {2,1,2,2},
  {1,4,1,1},
  {1,1,3,2},
  {1,2,3,1},
  {1,1,1,4},
  {1,3,1,2},
  {1,2,1,3},
  {3,1,1,2}
};

int c[10][4] =
{
  {1,1,2,3},
  {1,2,2,2},
  {2,2,1,2},
  {1,1,4,1},
  {2,3,1,1},
  {1,3,2,1},
  {4,1,1,1},
  {2,1,3,1},
  {3,1,2,1},
  {2,1,1,3}
};
