DiskSpaceChart has a few display options that you can set on its settings screen.
You can change the folder or drive being displayed by clicking on the Browse... button and selecting a different folder.
You can select how the extension categorises space used in folders. Group size of all nested sub-folders together chooses to lump the space together into the immediate sub-folders of the current folder. Normally all the space occupied by a folder includes all the space in its subfolders, so Program Files would show all the space taken by all installed programs rather than on an individual basis. Sometimes you may want to analyze individual folders and at other times want a top level summary.
Show sizes of all nested sub-folders individually creates an entry for each folder that is found.
Sometimes you want to look at individual files rather than folders. You can control this with the Show individual files in Current folder option. When selected the sizes of individual files are shown for the current directory rather than lumped together as the 'Files in Current Folder' category. This only applies to a folder that has subfolders. If a folder contains just files and no sub-folders Disk Space Chart automatically shows the individual files in the folder. When this option is off then all files in the current folder are lumped together into the category 'Files in Current Folder'.
Show file type icons in the list controls whether the list displays an icon for each entry.
