In Reports, Barcode and barcode text is centered by default. Is it possible to left align the barcode and barcode text?

Thanks!

I'm not seeing any way to do that within the Barcode component's properties.. That said, you could set show text to False within the component and use a Text Shape below/around the Barcode to achieve whatever alignment you like.
