That hasn't been my experience. If treemaps have a limitation is that they can't deal well with very large numbers of highly homogeneous items (e.g. all nearly the same size). The worst case is if you have to show over a million items of the same size in a 1000x1000 bitmap.
- stevage 3y agoIsn't that an example of wide and shallow?
- deadbeeves 3y agoI understood "wide and shallow" to mean for example a directory tree with a single directory and lots of files. The example I gave is independent of where in the hierarchy the files are.
