Lukas Heindl submitted the
hexdumptikz
package.
Version: 1.0.1 2026-06-20
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Display hexdumps in LaTeX with the help of TikZ
Announcement text:
Showing hexdumps is a common task in some fields. The most rudimentary form doing this in LaTeX is using a simple listings package. But often just showing the data is not enough. Instead, it needs to be annotated and explained. This package offers exactly this feature by drawing each byte as a TikZ node. Note that this package explicitly aims to also support hexdumps with larger addresses (thinking of 64-bit addresses/offsets) here.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/hexdumptikz The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/hexdumptikz/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
