Application Options - TreeMap Settings

In this dialog, you can configure the specific settings for the LEX TreeMap factory. This is a special window which can give you a graphical overview of the directory structure with the help of cushion treemaps.

Application options: Dialog Settings



Pause button Include leaf objects in treemap
If active, the TreeMap Factory shows every single object instead of just the containers. Please note that this could cause a quite long delay when the treemap is built by LEX - virtually EVERY object in the current directory scope has to be read to evaluate it's object class.

Reset button Show squarified treemap
There are different presentations of the treemap display. Normally, the containers and objects are shown as treemaps just in the alphabetical order, and each map item uses the full width of the current treemap row. If this option is activated, LEX rearranges each part of the treemap to show each container or object as a little square - and the parts of the directory are ordered in their size (in terms of object count). This configuration makes the treemap more "readable" in some situations.

Add attribute button Paint treemap in grayscale
Normally each objectclass is represented by another color in the treemap. If this option is activated, the treemap is shown in grayscale.

 

In the bottom section of this dialog, you can configure the colors which are displayed for certain object classes. You can easily transfer one color to another objectclass by using CTRL-C and CTRL-V !
