| where are the big directories? |
| Visualization, size |
map extrinsic attribute size on size |
| Visualization, Coordinates |
Play with manual scaling |
|
bigest are the files, bigest they appear. After scaling, inspect the directories, view |
| can you see different patterns in those files? e.g. can you make out the difference between personal pages, class pages and research project pages |
Comparison, Fast heuristic |
Same colors for two subtrees suggest similarities.view |
| were there a lot of pages created recently, in which part of the file system? Are the newer directories bigger than the older projects? |

The bigest and darkest nodes figure out the recent big files, view |
| When was the page giving directions to the department last updated? |
