The Cell Type view is a low-level view of the layout of the heap. It is +useful for getting a quick feel for fragmentation, for example, but the other +views are more commonly used.

The Cell Type view breaks down the heap into word-sized (4 byte) blocks, +each represented by a coloured square. The following colour-coding is applied +to each related group of words for easy identification:
+The colour fade between the start and end of a group of words makes it +easier for you to pick out the beginning and the end of cells.
+ +If you highlight a cell by hovering the mouse over it (the whole of the +associated cell is highlighted), you get a pop-up summary of its contents as a +tool-tip. You can also right-click to bring up a context menu of options.
+ +If you click on a cell to select it, or navigate to it using the cursor keys +or the Previous / Next buttons, or search for it by address in +the Search box, then that cell will be selected and you will +get a summary in the Information box below.
+If you double-click on a cell, a floating memory inspector window will be +displayed, showing you the cell contents. Cells that contain references to +other memory locations are highlighted. Double-clicking a highlighted value +jumps to the referenced location.
