Possible to group bytes?

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I want to use the hex editor control to group some bytes into custom groups. Just like in cheat-engine Memory View 4byte display mode For example I have:

30 17 b5 a2 5d 7c bc b0 ...

Then I want to make it so I can group the first 4 bytes and display them as an Int32. (So the first 4 bytes are hidden, and the space they left is filled by one big integer). I also want to have fine-grained control over what bytes get grouped into what group. So for example I want to group byte 0-4 into an Int32, and then leave 1 byte as it is, then group 6-7 into a custom display…

I’m experienced with wpf but I’m not sure about the best/intended workflow. Can you give a rough outline of how one could accomplish this? @abbaye
