FileHistogram Description

The File Histogram application was designed to make a Histogram of the byte contents of a file. It reads a file and counts the bytes inside that file. Then it places the counted bytes in a graph with one bar for each byte. The longest bar represents the highest number of bytes. It starts with byte $00 on the left side and ends wit $FF on the right. The program has not a real practical use. It gives an impression how it looks inside a file and how much is inside. It's interesting to see the differences among the file types on a disk. At the right there are some images with a typical histogram of some popular files. Very special are the files from Microsoft, they look almost empty. Look at the DOC, XLS, PPT and BMP files and see how inefficient they use the disk space. This overview shows something everyone knows already, zipped files are smaller then normal files. However, in this overview all the File Histograms can be viewed by clicking on the file size.
