Viewing Data
Different datasets can require different views to display their data. For example, a graph is more suitable for displaying one- or two-dimensional datasets if one of the dimensions has a small
extent. However, a surface view is better for displaying a two-dimensional
dataset.
When TotalView launches the Visualizer, one of the following actions occurs:
If the Visualizer is displaying the dataset, it raises the dataset’s window to the top of the desktop. If you had minimized the window, the Visualizer restores it.
If you previously visualized a dataset but you’ve killed its window, the Visualizer creates a new window using the most recent visualization method.
If you haven’t visualized the dataset, the Visualizer chooses an appropriate method. You can disable this feature by using the
Options > Auto Visualize command in the Visualizer Directory Window.
