Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Labelixa Tools (21)
zpl_preview
Render ZPL label code and return the label as a PNG image. Use this to SEE what ZPL output looks like — LLMs can write ZPL but cannot otherwise verify the visual result. One call renders one label (use `index` to pick a label from a multi-label stream).
zpl_validate
Lint ZPL code and return structured diagnostics: unknown commands, missing ^FS, out-of-range parameters, fields outside the label boundary. Run this before zpl_preview when generating ZPL.
zpl_command_help
Explain a single ZPL command: syntax, parameters with types/ranges/options, a fragment example and whether the Labelixa renderer draws it. Data comes from the same catalog that powers the public command reference pages.
barcode_png
Generate a single barcode as a PNG image (Code 128, QR, DataMatrix, EAN-13, UPC-A, PDF417 and more). For a full label with text and layout, write ZPL and use zpl_preview instead.
language_detect
