The Set Data Presentation dialog box allows you to set and save preferences for the metrics
that are displayed, for the sort metric, and for the source and disassembly displays.
To open the dialog box, choose View Set
Data Presentation (Alt-V, P) or click the Set Data Presentation toolbar button
.
The dialog box contains seven tabs.
The Metrics Tab
The Sort Tab
The Source/Disassembly Tab
The Formats Tab
The Timeline Tab
The Search Path Tab
The Tabs Tab
The dialog box has a Save button with which you can store the current settings, including any custom-defined memory objects.
The Metrics tab allows you to choose the metrics that are displayed and the form in which they are displayed. The three possible forms are time, value, and percentage. The list contains all metrics that are available in any of the experiments that are loaded. For each metric, checkboxes are provided for the forms that are available. Alternatively, instead of setting individual metrics, you can set all metrics at once by selecting or deselecting the check boxes in the bottom row of the dialog box and then clicking the Apply to all metrics button All forms of a given metric are displayed in the same table column.
You can only choose to display exclusive and inclusive metrics. Attributed metrics are always displayed in the Callers-Callees tab if either the exclusive metric or the inclusive metric is displayed.
In the Sort tab you can choose the sort metric, and the order in which the metric columns are displayed. The metrics that are displayed in bold face are the visible metrics.
![]() |
You can choose the sort metric by clicking its column header in any of the following tabs: Functions, Lines, PCs, and Callers- Callees. |
![]() |
You can reorder the columns of metrics in the following tabs by dragging the column header to the place you want it to appear: Functions, Lines, PCs, Callers-Callees, Source, and Disassembly. |
Changing the sort metric in the Sort tab overrides any sort metric selection made by clicking the column headers.
In the Source/Disassembly tab you can specify the following options:
The threshold is the percentage of the largest metric value attributed to any line in the file whose source or disassembly is displayed. The threshold is applied to each metric independently.
If you display source code in the Disassembly tab, the compiler commentary is also displayed for the classes that are enabled.
If you display source metrics in the disassembly listing, the Find tool finds high-metric items on source lines as well as on disassembly lines. If you want to limit the search to high-metric items on disassembly lines, clear the Metrics for Source Lines checkbox.
In the Formats tab you can specify whether you want function names to be displayed in long form, short form, or mangled form of C++ function names and JavaTM method names.
If you select the Append SO name to Function name checkbox, the name of the shared object in which the function or method is location is appended to the function name or method name.
The Formats tab also presents a choice for View Mode of User, Expert, or Machine. The View Mode setting controls the processing of Java experiments and OpenMP experiments.
For Java experiments:
For OpenMP experiments:
For all other experiments, all three modes show the same data.
In the Timeline tab of this dialog box you can perform the following tasks to control the data that is displayed in the main window's Timeline tab.
.jar
files for the JavaTM Runtime Environment on your system.
The special directory name $expts
refers to the set of current experiments, in
the order in which
they were loaded. To change the search order, single-click on an entry and press the
Move Up/ Move Down buttons
In the Tabs tab, you can select the tabs to be displayed in the Analyzer window. The Tabs tab lists the applicable tabs for the current experiment. The regular tabs are listed in the left column. The defined MemoryObject tabs are listed in the right column.
In the left column, click the checkboxes to select or deselect regular tabs for display. To display all of the applicable tabs, select the Apply to all tabs checkbox and click the Apply to all tabs button. To deselect all of the currently displayed regular tabs, deselect the Apply to all tabs checkbox and click the Apply to all tabs button.
In the right column, click the checkboxes to select or deselect MemoryObject tabs for display. To add a custom object, click the Add Custom Object checkbox. When you have added a custom memory object using Add Memory Objects dialog box, a checkbox for that object is added to the right column and is selected by default.
