Daag Button Bar

The button bar offers rapid access to most of the functions in Daag. Simply click on any button to activate its function.

For more information on the Select Drive, Regen Tree, and Print buttons, see the Miscellaneous things to know section.

The other buttons are explained in the Types of Child Windows section.

You may also access these functions from the pulldown  menus .


Types of Child Windows

DaaG provides several types of child windows, so called because they are offspring of the program's main window. Child windows may be tiled, cascaded, and printed from the program's menu.

Daag has the following types of child windows:

Pie Chart

Pie Chart Level One

Tree Map

Bar Chart

Space Gauge


Misc things to know
Logical Drive Letter

The Pie Chart buttons and the Tree Map  button operate on the currently selected disk drive.

To change to another drive, simply click on the first button (select disk drive).

Printing

Clicking on the print button will print the active (focused) child window. To make a window focused, simply click on it.

Regenerate Tree

This option is activated either by menu or with the button that shows lightning hitting the tree. It will create an updated tree map file (DAAG32.TRE) in the DAAG directory.

You should update the Tree Map file periodically, since the Tree Map and Pie Charts get their data from this file.


Quick Start Title

To see one of DaaG's most useful features, click on the PieChart button on the button bar.

It will graphically show you the 16 largest directories on the current disk. You may select another logical disk drive by clicking on the "select disk" buttion.

Please Note : Daag will create a directory named DAAG on each logical disk that you invoke this function or the Tree Map function for.

The directory will contain the Daag tree map file, DAG32.TRE.
