### Profile viewer

#### Description

The _profile viewer_ widget displays the results stored in the _trace.log_ file that a software compiled with DMD outputs when it's compiled with the `-profile` switch.

The pie displays the weight of a each function for a particular criterion.
This criterion can be selected in the combo box that's located in the toolbar.

The list displays all the results, which can be inspected more accurately after sorting a column.

#### Toolbar
