Description
Is it possible to do bar width adjustment with this library? To create a barcode now, we are using software called "Barcode producer" They had an option called bar width adjustment, which can be set from (-23 to +23), which actually decreases the bar width.

Now is it possible to do the same with this library? I am kinda stuck cause when I am printing on plastic because the bars are too wide, so it overlaps. That's why in the Axicon verifier it's grading at "C". I need to get at least a "B". I am not getting any luck changing the "width" property even If I use 1 it's wider I need to below 1.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the library's existing width option and the barcode rendering entry point to understand why values below 1 are not supported. Reproduce the plastic-printing case and determine how bar width adjustment should relate to the current width setting. Done should include narrower bars that avoid overlap and improve the Axicon verification grade to at least B.
