Option Live update when selection changes lets you control whether the view changes the pattern display as you make different method invocation selections. The default is to preserve the method invocation patterns first shown by the view, regardless of selection changes. Pressing the Update button changes the view to show patterns for the currently selected set of invocations. Selecting the Live Update option causes the view to update itself every time there is a change in the set of selected set of invocations. A final option, Font Scaling , will make text grow and shrink just like other elements of the view when it's zoomed.
Text remains a constant size by default.
These options help you to navigate around the Execution Pattern View, by zooming and by varying the time dimension in the view. In many respects, the options function similarly to the Execution View. Home scales and zooms the view so that all the patterns currently shown are visible. That means the view will be zoomed so that all the patterns visible fit horizontally, and time will be scaled if necessary to make the full set of patterns fit vertically. Zooming can be done in several ways.
