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?
Visualization, colors, RGB, linear map extrinsic attribute ctime on color
Visualization, sizes, uniform map extrinsic attribute size on size
Visualization, Coordinates Play with manual scaling
The bigest and darkest nodes figure out the recent big files, view
When was the page giving directions to the department last updated?
Search extrinsic attribute name (e.g. regular expression "Dep")
Datailed Data Explore the mtime value of the nodes

Are new pages more popular than old pages? Which old page are popular?
Visualization, size map extrinsic attribute hitcount on size
Visualization, colors, RGB map extrinsic attribute ctime on colors
Search/advanced cursor for ctime in low position (old files)and cursor for ctime in high position (recent files)
Search extract
Big dark nodes correspond to the popular recent file , filter for the oldest one. view
What proportion of the pages are never used? seldom used?
Search/advanced on hitCount and ctime
Play with the rule and discover these pages. Then use node intrinsic attribute, in order to get the proportion. view
