generate pretty graphs from heap profiles

hp2pretty

hp2ps is a tool to generate PostScript graphs of Heap Profiles. hp2pretty is a rewrite of hp2ps, implemented in Haskell, with the aims of being maintainable, with more flexible output, and more beautiful output. Currently hp2pretty outputs Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) only, though PostScript (PS) is planned. Not all of hp2ps' options are implemented yet in hp2pretty.

Usage

hp2pretty - generate pretty graphs from heap profiles

Usage: hp2pretty [--uniform-scale AXES] [--sort FIELD] [--reverse]
                 [--trace PERCENT] [--bands COUNT] [--pattern] FILES...
  Convert heap profile FILES.hp to pretty graphs FILES.svg

Available options:
  --uniform-scale AXES     Whether to use a uniform scale for all outputs. One
                           of: none (default), time, memory, both.
  --sort FIELD             How to sort the bands. One of: size (default),
                           stddev, name.
  --reverse                Reverse the order of bands.
  --trace PERCENT          Percentage of trace elements to
                           combine. (default: 1.0)
  --bands COUNT            Maximum number of bands to draw (0 for
                           unlimited). (default: 15)
  --pattern                Use patterns instead of solid colours to fill bands.
  FILES...                 Heap profiles (FILE.hp will be converted to
                           FILE.svg).
  -h,--help                Show this help text
