Description David Fischer CLA 2008-09-30 10:12:38 EDT 
Hello!

I would like to suggest additional views for memory rendering in debug view.
A possibility to display the data as 2D (or even 3D) plot with contents vs. memory address would improve usability a lot. It could be used in projects using e.g. signal processing or statistical analysis.

This is already possible in some tools (e.g. Texas Instruments Code Composer, DDD, ...), and would also be a nice feature for eclipse cdt.
In TI code composer even displaying data as bitmap or jpg is possible, which would also improve usability in image or video processing.

Another suggestions is to increase the number of data formats. Fractional and floating point are used quite often, so debugging would be easier having also these formats instead of just hex, signed and ascii. Also selection of number formats like 8,16 or 32 bit signed/unsigned integer, or even unicode would be great
