# View Inspector

The View Inspector is used to generate data about the currently selected View, providing a GUI for Markings. This data can be used to graphically illustrate how features are being found by a Blue Locate tool, for example, or how a Red Analyze tool is generating heat maps of defects.

To use the View Inspector, select a view from the View Browser, and select Show Inspector (alternatively, you can use the shortcut keys Ctrl + I after selecting a view).
