    20## Example ##
    21
    22This is a simple example on how to create a QR-Code and write it to a png-file
    23```go
    24package main
    25
    26import (
    27	"image/png"
    28	"os"
    29
    30	"github.com/boombuler/barcode"
    31	"github.com/boombuler/barcode/qr"
    32)
    33
    34func main() {
    35	// Create the barcode
    36	qrCode, _ := qr.Encode("Hello World", qr.M, qr.Auto)
    37
    38	// Scale the barcode to 200x200 pixels
    39	qrCode, _ = barcode.Scale(qrCode, 200, 200)
    40
    41	// create the output file
    42	file, _ := os.Create("qrcode.png")
    43	defer file.Close()
    44
    45	// encode the barcode as png
    46	png.Encode(file, qrCode)
    47}
    48```
