Coin includes some scene graph profiling functionality.

This functionality is intended for use during application development for identifying performance bottlenecks in Coin-based applications with regards to how Coin is being used and with regards to problems with how Coin is implemented.

The profiling code can be enabled in existing Coin applications without the need of adding any code by enabling it through the use of some environment variables. For particular profiling needs, the default behaviour you can trigger through environment variables might not work that well (you might have a specialized render pipeline that causes the output to be garbled) or focus on the information you need (the full application might perhaps add noise to the system that Coin won't separate out). In such cases, programmatic access to the profiling subsystem will be necessary to get the better results.
