Events in the scene samples recorded by the
Profiler are represented by various colors. These colors let you quickly interpret Profiler results. For illustrations of different profile events, see
Profiler interpretation examples.
Note: Some colors are used more than once: they indicate different things in different categories.

Not every color will appear in a profile snapshot because some events do not happen at the same time as others. For example, a Dirty Propagation event only occurs while the Evaluation Manager is off, while events such as GPU Override CPU usage only occur when the Evaluation Manager is on.
