Call Tree Visualization
Symbol information is used to map program addresses to symbol names. Breaking down a profile at symbol granularity is a useful way to understand the time spent in blocks of code. There are a variety of methods for summarizing the information in a set of samples that include backtraces of each sample's call stack:
- Top-down (tree) visualization is used to find "hot" (frequently sampled) call paths, starting at the root symbol (e.g. main).
- Bottom-up (leaf) visualization is used to find "hot" code, starting in the symbols where samples occurred.
- Hotspot visualization is a complete list of symbols encountered in the profile that is used in conjunction with a side-by-side tree and leaf views (butterfly view). Selecting a symbol in the hotspot list shows the callers and callees of that symbol in the butterfly view.

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or tree:
“Test every work of intellect or faith
And everything that your own hands have wrought,
And call those works extravagance of breath
That are not suited for such men as come
Proud, open-eyed and laughing to the tomb.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden.”
—Bible: Hebrew Genesis 2:9-10.
