Profiling Your Java 8 Game Application Memory Usage

Figure 2-19. Select the Memory section of the Profile InvinciBagel dialog and select Record stack trace for allocation
Once the memory profiler is running, use a Window ➤ Profiling ➤ VM Telemetry Overview menu sequence,
shown in Figure 2-20 (top), to open the VM Telemetry Overview tab (bottom). This tab shows memory allocated
and memory used. You can hover the mouse over the visual bar to get an exact reading at any point in time.
In programming terms, hovering a mouse over something will be accessed in your code using “mouse-over.”
