Storage Treemaps are another new feature in SPACEWatch Storage Suite 6.  They use a clever mathematical algorithm to display directory trees from across the network - showing lots of data, but visually revealing interesting facts in a simple way.

Invented by the Dutch mathematician J.J. van Wijk and colleagues, and first published in 2000, the algorithm is ideal for analysing structured hierarchical data.

Here's what a Storage Treemap looks like in SPACEWatch 6:

A picture named M2

The size of each rectangle is in proportion to the storage space that each tree consumes.  The colour shows how recently used the files are in that tree.  Thus if you find large, pink, rectangles - you should probably take a closer look.
