A Python command-line script that converts output from many profilers (perf, callgrind, gprof, Python profilers, etc.) into Graphviz dot call graphs. It prunes low-weight nodes, propagates time through recursion, and highlights hotspots with color.

Use cases

  • visualize perf output as a call graph
  • convert valgrind callgrind data to a dot graph
  • generate call graphs from Python profiler stats
  • find hotspots in a program's call graph
  • compare two profiling graphs
  • turn gprof output into an image

When to choose

  • you have profiler output and want a visual call graph
  • you want a lightweight cross-platform script using Python and Graphviz
  • you need to prune noisy profiling data down to hotspots

When to avoid

  • you need an interactive profile viewer (use xdot.py or flamegraph tools)
  • you need active development or new features
  • you want flame charts rather than dot graphs
