What is Leaves?
Leaves is a disk usage analyzer inspired by WinDirStat and QDirStat.
It shows files and directories in a hierarchy of nested rectangles. The area of a rectangle is proportional to its size. A 200 MB file will have twice the size as a sibling with 100 MB. The parent directory will have about 3 times the area of the smaller file.
However, due to the limited resolution of working at a character level, this is a fairly coarse approximation compared to a graphical tool. On the other hand, this will work over remote shell connections when graphical desktop environments are not available or impractical.
