# Using the Memory Page

The Memory page contains data about memory allocation, usage, and garbage collection over time.

This page displays information in both tables and graphs.

Using the Memory Page: Selections and Aspects

Use the drop-down menus at the top of the page to choose a selection and aspect if desired. Data from other pages can be saved to the selection drop-down menu by dragging an area of a chart (or selecting data from a table) and choosing Store Selection or Store Selection and Set As Focused Selection from the context menu.

The following controls provide additional behavior:
