Customizing Static Graphs

The Static Graphs have many options that you can conﬁgure. Each graph

has an "Options" and a "View" menu that help you customize the graph

for your needs. For example, you can turn off the graph legend, or specify

default queries to be applied to any new node that is added to the graph.

Filters and other customizations are also available. See SoftBench

Online Help for full descriptions.

Removing the Graph Legend

The legend provides useful information about the types of nodes and arcs

displayed on the graph. To remove the legend and see more of the graph

area, turn off the "View: ■ Display Legend" toggle button. The legend

disappears from the graph immediately.

Viewing Multiple Graphs

You can view more than one Static Graph simultaneously. For example,

you can view the Call Graph and File Graph to see the relationships

between functions and ﬁles as they are presented in those graphs.

To view multiple Static Graphs:

1. From the main SoftBench Static Analyzer window, choose "Options:

Behavior Settings…" which displays the "Behavior Settings"

dialog box.

2. Deselect the " Collect Graphs Into A Stack" toggle button. To set

this option select OK. A dialog box appears, indicating the change

takes effect when the tool restarts. Select OK.

3. To make this option active you need to restart SoftBench Static

Analyzer. Choose "File: Exit".

4. Restart SoftBench Static Analyzer.
