Using Graphing Options

IDA Pro supports five graphing options, accessible from the buttons on the toolbar shown in Figure 5-7. Four of these graphing options utilize cross-references.

When you click one of these buttons on the toolbar, you will be presented with a graph via an application called WinGraph32. Unlike the graph view of the disassembly window, these graphs cannot be manipulated with IDA. (They are often referred to as legacy graphs.) The options on the graphing button toolbar are described in Table 5-1.
