Re: [tracecompass-dev] TimeGraphView Visualization Bug
Hi Aleix,

Sorry for the late reply:

The view samples the state system at regular intervals (roughly once per pixel, so the time of these samples depend on the zoom level).

When two consecutive states don't 'touch' each other, that means there is a gap and we don't know the state(s) in that gap, so we just fill it with a single transparent 'grey' state, as a kind of placeholder.

By slightly changing the window range or the zoom level, the samples change and they could hit on a 'green' state.

When you zoom in sufficiently, there are no more gaps in the sampling and you only see the real state colors.

Hi Patrick!

I have just downloaded and compiled tracecompass from the eclipse git
repo (I have seen that your patch is merged now) and the problem is
now solved! Now I both see the black dots and stable states.

Now I can perfectly analyze my application! A minor stetic issue
remains though. Sometimes I see small grey states, I zoom a bit, the
state turns green, I zoom a bit, the state turns grey again, I zoom a
bit, the state turns green and repeats until the colors ramains green.

Thank you (and also tahini and TheMatthew who helped me on IRC)!!
