7.3.1.6 Displaying Program Status
.................................

You can create a display from the output of an arbitrary debugger
command.  By entering

     graph display `COMMAND`

the output of COMMAND is turned into a _status display_ updated each
time the program stops.

   For instance, the command

     graph display `where`

creates a status display named `Where' that shows the current backtrace.

   If you are using GDB, DDD provides a panel from which you can choose
useful status displays.  Select `Data => Status Displays' and pick your
choice from the list.

   Refreshing status displays at each stop takes time; you should delete
status displays as soon as you don't need them any more.
