Toolbars
SystemTap GUI currently has two toolbars built in; an Action Bar for file and execution operations and a Perspective Selector to jump to different perspectives.
Action Bar
Import Dashboard Module Location - This option brings up a dialogue box prompting the user for a module file which is then loaded into the Module Browser.
Run - This option runs the selected module in the Module Browser.
Pause - This option pauses the selected module in the Module Browser. Know that this method of pausing is an illusion; the graph data is simply not updated while the script continues to run. This inability to truly pause is inherent in SystemTap itself.
Stop - This option stops the selected module in the Module Browser.
Create a New Dashboard module - This option creates a new module in the Module Browser.
Perspective Selector
IDE Perspective - This launches the IDE Perspective, useful for writing and executing scripts.
Graphing Perspective - This launches the Graphing Perspective, useful for graphing scripts.
Dashboard Perspective - This launches the Dashboard Perspective, useful for multiple graphing.
