barby and more than 72 ppi

[Krzysztof Kotlarek]

Hello.
I need your help.
I use barby to generate barcods (it`s great libary). However every png
that generate is 72 ppi. On the screen that looks beautiful but if i
want to print than i need 150 or 300 ppi. Could you tell me how to
generate this image? I looked also at gbarcode but i can`t find that
option.
Thanks for your help

Usually you shouldn't have to set the PPI of an image - see
http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html

But you can set it by using the RmagickOutputter and generating a
Magick::Image instance with to_image:

barcode = Barby::Code128B.new('hello')
image = barcode.to_image
image.density = "300x300"
image.write('hello.png')
