Atlas offers several configuration options that you should be aware of when performing your analysis. The sections below discuss each preference option and any tradeoffs you should consider.
Eclipse Memory Settings
The default Eclipse memory settings are very conservative in terms of program analysis requirements. Eclipse memory settings are stored in the eclipse.ini file whose location relative to the Eclipse executable is dependent on the platform Eclipse is running. To make changing these settings easier Atlas provides a simple interface to apply changes to Eclipse memory settings.
Inside Eclipse, navigate to Atlas > Eclipse Memory Settings. We recommend increasing the Maximum Memory field to at least 4 GB (Gigabytes), but if you have the resources available, allowing Eclipse to allocate more memory will be beneficial for analyzing large applications. If you expect the size of your program graph to be very large, you should increase the Maximum Memory accordingly.
After increasing the default memory settings, click OK. Eclipse will need to restart for the change to take effect.
Graph Editor Preferences
When you display an Atlas graph as the result of your analysis, the graph that is displayed is interactive. While the display and interaction defaults are very intuitive, some users may want to fine tune their experience. To adjust graph display and control settings navigate to Window > Preferences > Atlas > Graph Editor. There are configuration panels for General, Controls, and Grid settings. After changing settings click Apply and OK to save changes.
Note: If you haven't used Atlas before you are encouraged to try the default settings first.
