Visualize the contents of binary data
ResourceFunction["ByteArrayPlot"][bytes] visualizes the binary data in a ByteArray bytes. | |
ResourceFunction["ByteArrayPlot"]["file"] reads the contents of "file" into a ByteArray for visualization. | |
ResourceFunction["ByteArrayPlot"][expr] equivalent to ByteArrayPlot[BinarySerialize[expr]]. | |
ResourceFunction["ByteArrayPlot"][expr,n] visualizes up to n bytes of expr. |
Use the function:
In[1]:= |
Out[1]= |
Retrieve the ResourceFunction:
In[2]:= |
Out[2]= |
Retrieve the ResourceObject:
In[3]:= |
Out[3]= |
When the content is PrintableASCIIQ, it will appear as plain text:
In[4]:= |
Out[4]= |
In[5]:= |
Out[5]= |
When content is mixed, the non-printable bytes are rendered as color-coded hex values:
In[6]:= |
Out[6]= |
In[7]:= |
Out[8]= |
Visualize the binary data contained in a file:
In[9]:= |
Out[9]= |
Only view the first 10 bytes:
In[10]:= |
Out[10]= |
View the contents of a CloudObject:
In[11]:= |
Out[11]= |
In[12]:= |
Out[12]= |
In[13]:= |
Out[13]= |
View the bytes of the WXF format directly:
In[14]:= |
Out[14]= |
Compare binary formats:
In[15]:= |
Out[15]= |
In[16]:= |
Out[16]= |
In[17]:= |
Out[17]= |
In[18]:= |
Out[18]= |
Packed arrays are aptly named:
In[19]:= |
In[20]:= |
Out[20]= |
In[21]:= |
Out[21]= |
In[22]:= |
Out[22]= |
In[23]:= |
Out[23]= |
By default, only the first 1024 bytes are shown:
In[24]:= |
Out[24]= |
Use the second argument to view more:
In[25]:= |
Out[25]= |
