Java sample for API usage and embedding jpg logo into the QR code

Question

Hi, it's not clear to me how to send the Logo so it could be embedded into the QR code.
Let's say I have a jpg or png image which i would like to embed into the QR code,

Could you please share some java code example for configuring the http request to achieve that.
Also would be nice to see example of changing colors, etc...

Thank you in advance,
Vladimir

Add this to your `setting` JSON string before the closing parenthesis:

    , "LOGO" : {"L_NAME"  :  "url_to_your_logo_image", "EXCAVATE" : true}

`L_NAME` is the url to your hosted image.  
`EXCAVATE` instructs the API to remove the dark blocks from behind the logo image.

Using the default example, it would look like this (formatted):

    {
        "LAYOUT" : {
            "COLORBG" : "ffffff",
            "GRADIENT_TYPE" : "NO_GR",
            "COLOR1" : "000000"
        },
        "EYES" : {
            "EYE_TYPE" : "Simple"
        },
        "E" : "M",
        "BODY_TYPE" : 0,
        "LOGO" : {
            "L_NAME"  :  "url_to_your_logo_image",
            "EXCAVATE" : true
        }
    }
