Trend View
The Trend View shows successively recorded key performance indicators such as
- CPU load (if available)
- GPU load (if available)
- Frame Rate
It can be displayed via the View Ribbon Group of the Online Ribbon Tab.
The following shows a Trend View for a host simulation. The color assignment for the performance indicators is currently fixed and as follows:
- Frame Rate (red)
- CPU load (green)
- GPU load (blue)
Mouse over the Trend View shows a clear button which resets the view.
Right-clicking the Trend View opens a context menu for
- closing it and
- displaying it always on top of every other window.
-
GPU load availability is dependant on device capabilities.
These settings allow to set the update rate and the history length of trends. IT is possible to change these values on the fly without restarting, pausing or changing the communication.
Scene Graph View
The Scene Graph View allows analysis of the scene graph during paused mode.
This view is divided vertically by a splitter into two sections:
- A camera list on top and
- A tree view of a scene graph below.
The tree view shows the scene graph associated with the selected camera in the camera list.
The following commands are available via a toolbar on top of the Scene Graph View:
Refresh:
- This command is always available in paused mode.
- Fetches the scene graphs from the Candera application and displays it. Node expansion and selected nodes are preserved.
Node Grid:
- This command is available in paused mode, if a camera was selected from the camera list.
- Displays all information transferred for the scene graph of the selected camera in a grid.
Measure Rendering:
- This command is available in paused mode, if a camera was selected from the camera list.
- Measures the rendering times of individual nodes and displays the render times along with static scene graph information in a grid
The properties of a selected node are displayed in the Properties View.
Properties View
Depending on the scene graph node selected in the Scene Graph View, different properties are displayed.
For each node, the following properties are displayed:
- Name: The name of the node, if available, a blank field otherwise
- Candera Type: The type of the node (e.g. Mesh or Group)
