The Gauge Profiling Tool

The Gauge library package is a graphical interface to the Sicstus built-in predicates profile_data/4 and profile_reset/1. See section Execution Profiling, for more information about execution profiling. The interface is based on Tcl/Tk (see section Tcl/Tk Interface). Gauge loads Tcl/Tk if it is not previously loaded.

To use the gauge package, enter the query

| ?- use_module(library(gauge)).

view(:Spec)

Creates a graphical user interface for viewing the profile data for the predicates covered by Spec, which has the same form as for spy/1 (see section Spy-points). For example, the call view([user:_,m2:_]), will bring up the graphical user interface on the predicates contained in the modules user and m2. When the display first comes up it is blank except for the control panel. The graphical interface is pretty much self explanatory. The on-line help function gives all necessary information.
