The visualisation type choosen is a treemap. +Treemaps allow for showing metrics of objects in nested structures, like +sizes of files and directories on your hard disc, where the the size of +directories is defined to be the sum of the size of its children. +Each object is represented by a rectangle which area is proportional to +its metric. The metric must have the property that the sum of the +children's metric of some object is equal or smaller than the objects +metric. This holds true for the file/directory sizes in the use case of +FSView. + +It's provided both as a Konqueror KPart plugin for the mime type +inode/directory, and a standalone executable. + +This was meant as a small test application and usage tutorial for +the TreeMap widget developed within KCachegrind. As it's quite cool +and small, it is now provided as a Konqueror addon in KDE. + +For a full featured graphical 'du', see KDirStat. It's quite similar +to FSView, but allows for lot of cleanup actions. + +Happy space hunting, +Josef |
