Graph View

The Graph view provides a visual picture of the information that is displayed in the Tree.

The Graph is fully active allowing the user to drill down by clicking on a pie slice and drill up by clicking on any area of the graph that is not a pie slice.

It is the best way to get a quick clear picture of what and how makes up the current directory. The graph changes everytime the current node in the Tree changes. In fact they are both linked, so that a change in one - also triggers the same change in the other.

The popup menu for the graph allows you to print and export the graph, as well as choose the graph value.


The Graph value drop down listbox allows you to choose which values will be used to create the graph. This allows the user to have a quick 'view' or impression of the directory values without having to read the tree. The possible values are:
·Directory Size  
·Number of Files  
·Actual Size  
·Wasted Space  
·Directory Count  

The next item in the Tool bar is a button that moves the graph view up one directory in the Tree. In other words it changes the view of the graph to the parent of the current directory.

The following two items are used for printing the graph. The first one is used for printing the graph at its current scale. The second one prints the graph - but scaled to fit on one full page.

The last four buttons are used for exporting the graph to the clipboard or file in either Bitmap or Windows Metafile format.

Note that all Graphs now have a button bar on the left hand side that allows further customization of the graph.
