Installation
*binocle* is a graphical tool to visualize binary data.
It colorizes bytes according to different rules and renders them as pixels in a rectangular grid.
This allows users to identify interesting parts in large files and to reveal image-like regions.
## Examples
| ELF binary | MS Teams memdump | Doom assets | `perf record` samples |
|---|---|---|---|

## Preview
[**Watch a short screencast here**](https://shark.fish/binocle.mp4)
## How it works
The program allows you to control various parameters like the *offset* into the file, the *stride*,
the *width* of the rectangular grid as well as the way in which (groups of) bytes are colorized.
