You can modify the Performance Call Graph display
so that you can find information more easily.
Display the preference page for the Performance
Call Graph: Select . In the Preference
page navigator, expand Profiling and Logging,
and expand the Appearance node. Click Performance
Call Graph.
- In the Options tab,
choose Unweighted or Linear as
the way to display the lines that link nodes in the call graph. Choosing Unweighted displays all lines the same, so that their
thickness does not indicate anything about performance. Choosing
Linear displays the lines with varying thickness, representing the
time propagated from a method to the descendant as a percentage
of the total time of the current data set.
- Choose how to display method names. You can
choose how much identifying information to specify with the method
name, as well as the total length of the strings to be displayed.
- Choose how to display numerical values. You
can set the time units and the precision, as well as whether to include
your system’s default separator in the numerical display (for example,
1,000 or 1000).
- In the Colors tab, choose the
colors for call graph and overview elements: Click a Graph
Colors item or an Overview Colors item
and assign a color to it in the Colors dialog
box. Note that you can also change colors directly from the Performance
Call Graph by clicking the Graph Colors button
.
Note: You can recover default settings by
clicking the Restore Defaults button.
