Abstract
Information is provided about operation of a software library accessed by an application program. Information about calls made by the application program into the software library is collected, for example, by capturing a trace of the calls. For a user selected portion of the calls a plurality of event streams are displayed. Within the event streams, events are colored so that a color of each event displayed in each event stream encodes information about a call associated with the event. A first call is represented as a separate event in each event stream in the plurality of event streams and coloring within each event stream encodes different information about the first call.
