the coord of every rect and text should fixed with x += some offsetX （maybe x = x + 9） after setContent(ean13 data) the first TextBox x value in the Symbol object is -9

You'll want to use setQuietZoneHorizontal(int) to add enough horizontal space to fit the prefix digit.

It may be a good idea to document this in the JavaDoc, and/or perhaps add some default horizontal quiet zone to EAN and UPC symbols. I'll keep this bug open as a reminder to look into this.

I found the method to fix the problem. but the Settings.java do not support the -w --whitesp parameter The zint-qt whitesp support x & y two dimensions, as the zint commad line set both of x & y.

Are you using Okapi via the command line, or are you using it as a Java library in your own Java code?
