The alternative treemap chart view represents files as rings

Disk Usage Analyzer is a graphical disk usage analyzer for GNOME. It was part of GNOME Core Applications,[2] but was split off for GNOME 3.4. It was originally named Baobab after the Adansonia tree. The software gives the user a menu-driven, graphical representation of what is on a disk drive.[3] The interface allows for selection of specific parts of filesystem being scanned so a single folder, the entire filesystem, and even remote folders and filesystems can be scanned.[4] The graphical representation can be switched between a ring chart and a treemap chart so the presentation can be tailored to the specific content being scanned.[5]

In 2012,[6][7] Disk Usage Analyzer was rewritten in Vala.[8]

Future[edit]

At the GNOME Users And Developers European Conference (GUADEC) in 2013, a plan to merge the Disk Usage Analyzer with gnome-system-monitor to a new program called Usage was presented.[9][10]
