  • Kilobytes (kB
    
  • Bytes
    

• The primary measure defines which measurement will be shown in the second column of the objects view. That column shows its values graphically with a histogram, has percentages attached and is the default sort column. By default, the primary measure is the instance count. Alternatively, you can work with the shallow size, which is especially useful if you're looking at arrays.

• The differences of primary measure options determine how differences in the primary measure column are displayed and how that column is sorted.
  • Sort and display type
    The sort and display type can be one of
    • Sort by values
      The bar chart in the primary measure column displays absolute differences. When this column is sorted, it is sorted by absolute differences. Percentages are displayed in parentheses.
    • Sort by percentages
      The bar chart in the primary measure column displays percentages. When this column is sorted, it is sorted by absolute percentages. Absolute differences are displayed in parentheses.
