0x00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	00	°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Here's an all-ASCII alternative to GIF/PNG snapshots of hex data.

Usage

The following input :

{|border=1 cellspacing=0 style="font-family:courier"
 <nowiki>{{HexRow
|0x00
|01|51|02|00|01|00|00|06|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE|AD|DE
|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00
|00|00|00|00|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF|FF
|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00
|°who°needs°this°
}}

produces the following output :

0x00	01	51	02	00	01	00	00	06	AD	DE	AD	DE	AD	DE	AD	DE	°who°needs°this°

There are 65 arguments; they are not named, but they line up nicely in a 16x4 lattice.

• The first argument is the data's offset (default is 0x00, maybe it should be blank).
• The next 16 arguments are the 16 hex bytes.
• Then you have the RGB components of every byte's background :
  • 16 "red" bytes
  • 16 "green" bytes
  • 16 "blue" bytes
• Finally, you can add an ASCII translation if you so wish.
  • Most of the time it's actually irrelevant; I'd systematically show all non-printable chars as °.
  • If all 16 chars are non-printable, leave the last argument blank (the default value is °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°)
