BARfly Help - Options Menu - Raw view settings

  Raw view settings

Select Options.Raw View  to bring up the dialog box to the left.  From this dialog, you can modify raw view settings.  You can configure the individual numbers (words) displayed in raw view as well as the dimensions of the grid shown in the view.

The number of words per line is only a suggestion to BARfly.  Raw view is limited by the physical width of the data display window.  If the data display window is too small to accommodate the suggested number of words per line, BARfly automatically shrinks this value to a word count that can be displayed comfortably on the screen without overlap of data.

The number of lines per page is allowed to exceed the physical height of the data display window.  In this respect, you can force page boundaries to reach further than what you can see in the entire window.  However, it is recommended that you keep the number of lines per page at a value commensurate with the window height, as some lines can never be seen if the lines per page count is too high.

  • Numerical base:  Choose between decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary.  Please keep in mind that the numerical base directly impacts how many words can fit on each line; smaller bases will require more characters per word.
  • Default word bit size:  Choose between 8, 16, 32, and 64.  Byte size is bit size divided by four:  8 == 1 byte (char type), 16 == 2 bytes (short type), 32 == 4 bytes (long type), and 64 == 8 bytes (longlong type).
  • Use unit type word size for unorganized blocks:  If checked, the unit type bit size for unorganized blocks displayed in raw view overrides the default word bit size.  If unchecked, the default word size is always used, regardless of node type.
  • Default byte order:  Choose between little endian and big endian.  This byte order is used when interpreting multi-byte words in raw view.  The setting only impacts word bit sizes 16, 32, and 64; it does not affect size 8.
  • Use unit type byte order for unorganized blocks:  If checked, the unit type byte order for unorganized blocks displayed in raw view overrides the default byte order.  If unchecked, the default byte order is always used, regardless of node type.
