TreeSize Professional is able to visualize folder sizes as pie charts, bar charts or tree maps. A chart always shows the size of the sub-folders of the currently selected folder. A pie chart shows the size, allocated space, wasted space etc. depending on what kind of view the user selected in the toolbar. The bar chart shows the size, allocated and wasted space together in one chart because: branch size + wasted space = allocated space. If a bar chart doesn't fit in the window, a scrollbar is displayed on the right side, which allows scrolling in the chart.
In the pie chart, small folders may be summarized in a slice named "Other". If a root of a drive is displayed in a pie chart and you have switched to the "Allocated Space" mode, the free space of this drive will also be displayed as one slice of the pie. There is an option in the right click menu of the pie chart to turn this behaviour on or off. The pie chart just shows the free space as one slice among the others and calculates the percent appropriately (relatively to the others), so the percent value might differ from the "% Free" value of the drive if TreeSize didn't see all files. An FAQ entry deals with the possible reasons.
Clicking on a slice or bar shows detailed information about the corresponding folder, double clicking will change into the selected folder. Under View / Toolbars or in the context menu of the chart the chart toolbar can be turned on or off. It allows you to manipulate the charts in several ways, for example zooming, turning on or off the grid lines, switching between 2D and 3D mode, changing colors, etc. Using this toolbar, you can also copy the current chart to the clipboard or save it as a file. The color of a chart element can be changed by selecting the appropriate color in the color pull-down menu and then clicking on the chart that you would like to change.
Choose Print Chart from the File menu to print a chart. A chart will be printed exactly as you see it on the screen.
