Re: [linuxtools-dev] Valgrind Massif plugin switch from BIRT to SWTChart

[xraynaud <xraynaud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I didn't know SWTChart, but it looks a good idea.
If this proposal is accepted, I think we should do the same for gcov &
gprof - and perhaps take this oppotunity to unify the look&feel of the
generated charts for these 3 project.
