Pie chart
The pie chart displays all files and directories up to a certain level. In the View menu you can change the following display settings:
- Merge threshold. It sets the minimum size a file has to be in order to appear in the graph. The smallest files in each directory are merged together and shown as a gray section as big as their cumulative size. The bigger the window, the less files will fall below the merge threshold.
- Graph levels. More graph levels can show more files, at the cost of less available space for each level.

- Directory border. By default, directories are not visible, since the subfiles occupy their whole area. By increasing the directory border, the subfiles are inset by a percentage of the directory size, allowing to better distinguish files belonging to the same directory.
- Layout. Subfiles can be laid out horizontally or vertically. Each layout option has different rules, resulting in a possibly different subfile order and rectangle aspect ratio.
- Stack. Subfiles are stacked on top of each other, in columns from left to right.
- Snake. Subfiles are first laid out in one direction in the leftmost column, then in the opposite direction in the next column, and so on.
- Spiral. Subfiles are laid out in an inward spiral, either clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on which order results in more pleasing rectangles.
- Snake/spiral. Subfiles are laid out by mixing the snake and spiral layouts, resulting in the most pleasing rectangles, as every new line of subfiles can be laid out in an optimal direction (horizontal or vertical).
- Keep aspect ratio during zoom. If active, this option ensures that when zooming in and out of a directory all files maintain their relative size and position, at the cost of non-optimal layout and additional horizontal or vertical padding when a directory cannot be represented by a rectangle with the same aspect ratio as the window. If this option is inactive, a directory always occupies the whole window, but zooming in and out will usually cause files to change shape and position to better fit the new aspect ratio.
- Begin layout on bottom edge. Layout of subfiles is always started horizontally on the bottom edge, which may result in transitions that are easier to follow within a file sequence. If inactive, layout may start on the bottom horizontal edge or the left vertical edge, depending on which results in more pleasing rectangles.
