Hex Mode Toggle on or off the Hexadecimal Mode. In Hexadecimal Mode, the Binary Viewer displays a number of columns. The first column is the hexadecimal offset in the file of the data to the right of the column. The next 16 columns are 2-character hexadecimal representations of 16 bytes, or characters, from the file. The last column, 16 characters wide, contains the data from the file. When Hexadecimal Mode is off, the Binary Viewer displays the file as if it were a stream of text. Only characters of data are shown: there is no column of offsets, and there are no columns of 2-character hexadecimal representations.
Filter Characters Toggle on or off the filtering of unprintable characters. When filtering is on, each unprintable character appears in the Binary Viewer as “.”, a period, in the column of data on the right. Filter Characters has effect only when Hex Mode is checkmarked too.
Expand Tabs For viewing, expand each tab in the file to a number of spaces equal to Tab Size.
Tab Size When not in Hex Mode, the Binary Viewer expands each tab character in a file into spaces on screen according to the number you enter into Tab Size. Expansion of tabs occurs when a file containing tab characters is opened or on a change of Tab Size. In Hex Mode, a tab character remains unchanged.
