This entry is a stub, and will be expanded on a future archiving pass.

Shows a trace of values of computed in a program, especially for image processing.

When a line of code generates values multiple times (e.g. because it is in a loop) then the values accumulate horizontally. So you can "read" an execution by tracing your eyes down and then over one column to the right.

In addition to providing visiblity while programming, also useful for algorithm walkthroughs such as the following:
