Highlighting Significant Data in the Object Reference Graph (Memory Profiling)

Related Topics

From the Highlight drop-down list in the Object Reference Graph, select a criterion to use to highlight significant or interesting objects in the Object Reference Graph.

To highlight

Do this

Top 10 objects

Select a Top 10 category. Purify highlights all top ten objects in that category.

Object relationships

Select an object in the reference graph, then select a relationship category. Purify highlights all objects and lines that are referentially related to the selected object in that category.

Notes:

§      Purify evaluates all objects in the reference tree to determine which objects meet the selected criterion. It's possible that qualifying objects are not currently visible in the Object Reference Graph. To display these objects, right-click in the Object Reference Graph and select Expand/Collapse > Show All Objects from the shortcut menu.

§      Purify reports in the Object Detail window status bar the number of objects referenced by the selected object, the number of referees to the selected object, and the object's name.

§      If any of the top 10 objects in a top 10 category have the same value as the eleventh object (for example, they all contain the same number of references to other objects), Purify does not highlight them.
