2.1. PGPROF Tabs and Icons Overview
Before we describe how to navigate within PGPROF, it is useful to have some common
terminology for the tabs and icons that you see within the application.
Closeable and Non-closeable Tabs
PGPROF displays both closeable and non-closeable tabs. For example, when you first invoke
PGPROF, you see the function-level statistics table in a panel with a non-closeable tab. Then, to
access profiling data specific to a given function, you double-click on the function name and a
closeable tab opens with source code and profiling statistics for that function. This closeable tab
navigation approach provides a way for you to easily view a variety of information quickly.
PGPROF Common Icons
Table 1 provides a summary of the common icons you see in the statistics table during profile
navigation.
