Detail-View Mode, managing Map-View
Space Mapper builds map areas using two different modes - Normal Mode and Detail-View Mode. In Normal Mode all sizes of generated shapes have the same relation between each other as physical sizes of objects - files and folders. In Detail-View Mode shapes are been generated in such a way that small objects get a little more space on map. Both modes show bigger objects as larger shapes but only Normal mode guaranties right relation between object. Detail-View mode can also be called as unlinear or logarithmetic (since logarithmetic function mostly used) Mode. Select 'Detail-View Mode' control bar button to toggle between view-modes. Detail-View Mode is very useful when browsing big folders.
