 - **Flame Graph**: Shows proportionally how much time is spent within particular stack frames. Frames are grouped together, which means that x-axis / left-to-right order is not meaningful.
 - **Stack Chart**: Shows the stack at each sample with the x-axis representing time and can be read left-to-right.
