Main Buttons
Buttons are shown below in their unselected state. They have a green rim such as
when they are selected.
Tracks Mode. 
Switch the graph editor to the tracks mode.
Graphs Mode. 
Switch to graphs (curves) mode.
Alpha, Error, Time Sort. 
, 
, 
, 
. Sort trackers in a modified alphabetical order, by the error after solving, by time, or by tracker lifetime. The button sequences through these four modes in order, right-click to go in reverse order.
Selected Only. 
. When on, only the selected trackers appear in the “Active Trackers” node of the graph editor—it changes to read “Selected Trackers” instead.
Reset Time. 
. The time slider is adjusted to display the whole active shot within the visible width of the graph editor. In “Merged time range” mode (on the Viewport controls), or if you right-click this button, the range is set to the union of the ranges of all shots, so you can see everything at once.
Toolbar Display Mode. 
. Clicking this button will show or hide the toolbar, leaving only the time slider area shown at the bottom. Right clicking this button will close both the tool and time areas—a minimal view for when the graph editor is embedded as a viewport, instead of floating. Click in the small gutter area at bottom to re-display the time and tools, or right-click at bottom to re-display only the time area.
Show Status Background. 
. When on, a colored background is shown that indicates whether the number of trackers visible on that frame is satisfactory. The count is different for translating cameras, tripod shots, and within hold regions.
The “safe count” configured on the preferences panel is taken into account, above that, the background is white/gray. Below the safe count, it turns a shade of green. At fewer trackers, it turns yellowish on marginal levels, or reddish for unacceptable tracker counts. See also the #Normal and #Far data channels of the Active Trackers node. Can reduce performance when there are many frames and trackers. Tip : you can get this same colored background display on the main timebar, by turning on the View/Timebar background/Tracker count menu item.
Squish Tracks. 
. [Only in tracks mode.] When on, all the tracks are squished vertically to fit into the visible canvas area. This is a great way to quickly see an overview. You can see the display with or without individual keys: it has three states: off, with keys, and without keys. Clicking the button sequences among the 3 modes, right-clicking sequences in the reverse direction.
Draw Selected. 
. [Only in graphs mode.] When on (normally), the curves of all selected nodes or open nodes are drawn. When off, only open nodes are drawn.
