I think its more difficult.

The function CreateBarcode has to return the image directly.
Additional you have to know, that I have to implement it into Zope. So
I use the script as an "external method".  Modulname=Barcode,
functionname=CreateBarcode.

I'm using the following line in Zope DTML
<dtml-var "barcode(SourceString='123456789',Linewidth=1,WriteText=0)">
or 
<img src="<dtml-var "barcode128(SourceString='123456789',Linewidth=1,WriteText=0)">">

to generate the barcode and for showing it on a html-site.

But is doesn't run.

Do you have any ideas?
