Re: Meaning of Visual Graph with Venkman Profiler HTML output

Hello James:

Thanks for the response. I was expecting the total graph size to be
sized to the total time for that method call. From your comments, you
are saying that the total graph size is based on the range that method
appears in?

So for example if a method is listed in the range of 500-1000ms, what
does the overall size of graph represent? 500ms? 1000ms?

It may be me, but the graph as it currently exists doesn't seem to
convey much. The min/max/avg values are great, but in relation to what?


Regards,
Glenn
