Using SoftBench Debugger Data Graph Window

Using the Graph Area

Suspending Graph Updates

Selecting the "Suspend" toggle button suspends updating of the Graph Area as you step through your program, which can improve debugging performance. As soon as you select "Suspend", popup menu actions become limited to those which manipulate the existing graph, such as "Save Image…" and "Hide Selection". Deselecting

"Suspend" brings the Graph Area and dialog boxes up-to-date, and activates all menu items.

Deactivating the Graph

SoftBench Debugger deactivates the Graph Area whenever you unload the debugged program from SoftBench Debugger or the debugged process executes an exit statement. Again, popup menu actions become limited to those which manipulate the existing graph.

Stopping a Graph Process

To stop an undesired or lengthy graph action, select the Stop button. The nodes processed prior to the stop remain displayed.
