3.3.3 Y-axis Label Panel

The concealable left panel in Timeline window is called Y-axis label panel which contains a tree-like representation for Y-axis label for the timelines. For a single viewmaps slog2 file from CLOG or RLOG, the typical Y axis label panel looks like that is shown in Figure 3.17. Together with toolbar's label buttons, e.g. LabelMark and LabelMove, and standard selection methods by mouse click listed in Table 3.6, labels can be rearranged easily to create a more easily understood timeline canvas. For multiple viewmaps slog2 from IBM's UTE trace enviroment, LabelExpand and LabelCollapse buttons will come in handy to expand and collapse the label tree by one whole level. In order to minimize unnecessary redraw of the timeline canvas, the sychronization between the label panel and the timeline canvas is carried out passively, i.e. user needs to press the CanvasReDraw button in the toolbar to update the Timeline window with the changes from the label panel.
