Reading Nodes

Nodes represent data in memory. The node label indicates the particular data type. Nodes displayed on the graph as the result of "Show: Data Graph ( )" or "Show: Data Graph Indirect ( )" have two extra lines at the top of the label. one shows the memory address of the expression or variable, and one shows the expression or variable that was in the "()" input box.
