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:
“O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours
And not their appetites!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
