The Coverage Chart

The coverage chart shows how many transitions/symbols in the node that have been executed a certain number of times:

For each value along the horizontal axis (no of times), a vertical bar shows how many transitions/symbols have been executed that specific number of times. The vertical axis scale is adjusted to include the highest vertical bar, but this can be changed by using the Chart Options menu choice in the View menu (see Chart Options), or the quick buttons.

The left most bar is automatically selected when a new coverage chart is displayed. The selection can be moved by using the left and right arrow keys. Double clicking on a bar in the chart executes the Show in Editor command, see Show in Editor.

Just below the horizontal axis is the visibility line. It underlines the bars that correspond to the visible nodes in the coverage tree in the Main window. "Visible" in this case means visible according to the visibility condition. Nodes that are hidden by collapsing a parent node are still regarded as visible in this context.
