double ModuleSize, wchar_t * Text, int Encoding, int SymbolSize,
int Options)

Parameters

Left	The horizontal co-ordinate of the left edge of the symbol
Top	The vertical co-ordinate of the top edge of the symbol
ModuleSize	This value is used for the width and height of the dots which make up the symbol
Text	The text/data to store in the symbol
Encoding	1 = ASCII encoding. See the Data Matrix specification for details. 2 = Base256 encoding. The Text parameter should contain a hex string. 3 = GS1 encoding. Use U+00E8 for embedded FNC1, optional at start.
