- : "Sort samples per file" button displays gprof result sorted by file.
- : "Sort samples per function" button displays gprof result sorted by function.
- : "Sort samples per line" button displays gprof result sorted by line.
- : "Display function call graph" button displays gprof result as a call graph.

- : "Switch samples/time" button allows you to switch result display from samples to time and vice-versa.
- : "Create Chart..." button allows you to create a BIRT chart, with the current lines selected in the gprof result view.

If program is compiled with debug option (e.g. "-g"), double-clicking on a item in the result will open the corresponding source location.
