525 | """Draws a delivery note: what left the warehouse, line by line, each article
carrying the barcode a scanner reads it back by, and a box the receiver ticks.
The Python twin of the `write_delivery_note` example in Rust. It shows a table put to
a use text alone cannot serve: every line's box is asked for by position, so a barcode
lands against its own article and a tick box against its own line. `Placement.row_top`
and `Placement.row_height` are what make that possible — the table decides the
geometry, and the page draws into it.
Whether the barcodes scan is not for the page to say, and not for an eye: a scanner
says. `scripts/check_barcode.sh` points a decoder at the rendered page and reads the
article numbers back.
Every word the page draws is held in `Words`, once per language, and `HQF_PDF_LANG`
picks which one is drawn. The article numbers, the quantities, the weight and the
numbers the note and the consignment answer to are the same in both, and so is what a
scanner reads off the page.
