found." will try to find a process group of the same name in the other file and
choose it.
For many usage scenarios that allows to choose a new aggregation in comparison
mode for both trace files at once.
The Function Group Editor
The Function Group Editor is accessed at Advanced → Function Aggregation. In
most respects the Function Group Editor works exactly like the Process Group
Editor (see the section called “The Process Group Editor”). It allows to edit
function group definitions and to choose a function group for aggregation in a
View. The only addition is that functions and function groups are assigned colors
via the context menu (see the section called “The Function Group Color Editor”).
When the mouse hovers over the first column of a group entry a tooltip window
with the function group's name is shown. For a function a two-lined tooltip with
the function name and the full name of the function is shown. The full name (or
static path) reflects the original definition of the function or group as stored in
the tracefile.
Figure 5.7. The Function Group Editor's context menu
To change the color of any of the functions, select the Color option from the
context menu shown in Figure 5.7, “The Function Group Editor's context menu”.
A Color dialog box is opened where the preferred color for the given function
is selected. The context menu also has the option of assigning the color of the
parent node to all the children, using the Assign Color to Children entry. This
entry is enabled only if a parent node is selected.
Comparison Mode
In comparison mode (see Chapter 7, Comparison of two Trace Files) the dialog is
extended by a label and a combo box that allows to apply the chosen aggregation
to the other trace file shown in the View.
