Binviz is a binary visualization tool. It takes a file and produces an image or point cloud that visualizes the binary data.
Each consecutive pair of bytes is a coordinate to a 256x256 image. The image counts the occurance of each pair of bytes which is used to represent the brightness of the pixel at that coordinate. Before the image is created, the data is normalized to the range 0-255 with an additional transformation function to amplify lower values.
Each consecutive triplet of bytes is a coordinate to a 256x256x256 point cloud. The point cloud counts the occurance of each triplet of bytes which is used to represent the brightness of the pixel at that coordinate.

I can't find any file formats that support 4 dimensions, so time to make my own.
The file format is very simple, it's just a header followed by a list of points. It takes inspiration from the .ppm and .pcd formats.

DIMENSION <2 | 3 | 4>
x y val // 2D
x y z val // 3D
x y z w val // 4D
All fields must be from 0-255.
- Refactor to make consistent
- Add proper command line flags & arguments
- Adjustable brightness curves
- Make vizualiser
