tc lib barcode include letters

Question

I am using the tc-lib-barcode library to create a barcode. Creating it is not a problem but I want the letters of the barcode on the underside of it. How would I go on doing this?

$barcode = new Barcode();

$bObj = $barcode->getBarcodeObj(
    'C128',
    'testBarcode',
    1030,
    400
)->setBackgroundColor('white');

Using Intervention Image I just plopped a text image under the barcode:

$template->text($barcodeText, $barcodeX, $barcodeY + $barcodeHeight + $barcodeFontSize, function ($font) use ($barcodeFontSize) {
    $font->file(__DIR__ . '/cour.ttf');
    $font->size($barcodeFontSize);
});
