I tried searching on here but couldn't find the answer.
I'm looking for a way to launch the Hierarchy Viewer from within Android Studio, rather than having to launch it at the command-line. I've recently migrated to Android Studio from Eclipse, and this functionality was available under the DDMS set of tools in that IDE.
I've looked under the "Android" toolbar, and can see the screen-shot functionality there, but not the hierarchy viewer. I've also looked under Tools > Android in the menu system, and it's not there either.

The Layout Inspector in Android Studio allows you to compare your app layout with design mockups, display a magnified or 3D view of your app, and examine details of its layout at runtime. This is especially useful when your layout is built at runtime rather than entirely in XML and the layout is behaving unexpectedly.
Hierarchy Viewer is a tool built into Android Device Monitor that allows you to measure the layout speed for each view in your layout hierarchy. It can help you find performance bottlenecks caused by the structure of your view hierarchy.
A layout defines the structure for a user interface in your app, such as in an activity. All elements in the layout are built using a hierarchy of View and ViewGroup objects. A View usually draws something the user can see and interact with.
Android Layout TypesTableLayout is a view that groups views into rows and columns. AbsoluteLayout enables you to specify the exact location of its children. The FrameLayout is a placeholder on screen that you can use to display a single view. ListView is a view group that displays a list of scrollable items.
DDMS, Hierarchy Viewer, openGL Tracer etc all moved into Android Device Monitor. To access:
