# Squeak ObjectSpaceTally

[docs](doc/SWASpaceTally.md) 

Structural memory analysis for Squeak. Instead of a flat per-class table
like the built-in `SpaceTally`, this walks the live object graph from the
roots and builds a tree of space usage you can explore three ways:

- **Explorer**, a multi-column tree browser with Tally / Treemap / Diff actions
- **Treemap**, a squarified treemap where area = byte size, with zoom and tooltips
- **Diff**, compares two tallies to isolate exactly what your app allocated
