The Heaps view provides a list of all heaps created by the application, along with detailed information about the resources contained in each heap.

To access the Heaps view, go to NsightWindowsHeaps.

When you select a heap from the left pane, you will see all one of two types of entries: Placed Resources or Tiles. Clicking the hyperlink in the Placed Resources box will take you to the Resources Graphical tab.

Tiles are used to populate sections of a tiled resource.

The right side of the Heaps view displays the memory data associated with the selected resource, which can also be seen on the Memory tab of the Resources view.
