Using the Visualizer Control Buttons

While the runtime visualization is being created, you can use the Stop button to terminate the building of the visualization or the Pause button to temporarily halt it. A runtime visualization that is paused or has not begun building can be started with the Play button.

When the runtime visualization completes, the Stop and Play buttons are dimmed because their actions are not available. You can return to the start of execution and step forward and backward through the entire series of execution events as follows:

• Click the First Event button to return to the start of execution.
• Click the Last Event button to go to the end of execution.
• Click the Step Backward and Step Forward buttons to move backward and forward.

You can also use the keyboard arrow keys to move up and down through the list of events in either of the Events views.
