Standard treemaps often lead to thin rectangles. We have developed a new
method to display files : Squarified treemaps. The screen is subdivided
such that rectangles approach squares as closely as possible. The
screenshot gives an example.

Ever wondered why your hard disk is full? Or what directory is taking up
most of the space? When using conventional disk browsing tools, such as
Windows Explorer, these questions may be hard to answer. With
SequoiaView however, they can be answered almost immediately.
SequoiaView uses a visualization technique called cushion treemaps to
provide you with a single picture of the entire contents of your hard
drive. You can use it to locate those large files that you haven't
accessed in one year, or to quickly locate the largest picture files on
your drive.


SequoiaView was developed by the computer science department of the
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and can be downloaded for free from
these pages.

SequoiaView 1.3 was launched November 2002

SequoiaView is a good program.

However I think WinDirStat is significantly better.
http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/
Also WinDirStat has an option to show a view in the style of Sequoia.
