Looks like a nice feature.

Maybe calling it '--collapse' would be a better name?

By default the call-graphs are all expanded to maximum. With this option 
certain function(s) and all their child chains can be collapsed.

--parent filters the call-chains, excluding all others that don't include 
this parent. It might make sense to rename it to --filter?

It would also be nice if all these visualization variants were available 
in the GTK front-end.

Thanks,
