Heap walker view settings dialog

The heap walker view settings dialog is accessed by bringing the heap walker view to front and choosing Edit->View settings from JProfiler's main menu or clicking on the corresponding

toolbar entry. The various context menus also give access to the view settings dialog.

The General tab of the view settings dialog controls aspects which apply to all heap walker views.

Show selection steps
If checked, the selection history window at the bottom of the heap walker is shown.
Show view helper dialog for new object sets
If checked, the view helper dialog will be displayed when a new object set is created.

The Allocations tab applies to the allocation view only. It is analogous to the allocation monitor view settings.

Note: Unlike for the allocation monitor view, there is no "cumulate allocations" option since the view mode combo box in the allocations view of the heap walker offers both an "allocation tree" and a "cumulated allocation tree".

The References tab applies to the references view only.

Show object IDs
If checked, all objects in the reference graph are annotated with object IDs. This can help you in checking if two objects in two different reference graphs are the same or not.
