Styles

In every style, color is the process, cached tasks are faded and failed tasks are thinner, smaller, hollow or leafless. The session ID seeds the random choices, so a run always gives the same image.

Each style below shows the same run: the nf-core/rnavar megatest, 553 tasks, with the nfcore palette (mondrian for the mondrian style). More runs are in the gallery.

Style	What it draws
radial	Each process is a ring, each task an arc on it. Angle is time, clockwise from 12 o’clock. Thickness is peak memory.
hilbert	Tasks run end to end along a Hilbert curve in start order, each taking a share proportional to its duration. Thickness is peak memory. More tasks make a finer curve; the seed picks one of its 8 orientations.
ridgeline	One ridge per process, top to bottom, time left to right. Ridge height is how many of the process’s tasks were running, relative to its busiest moment.
phyllotaxis	Tasks are sunflower seeds on a golden-angle spiral, in start order. Dot size is peak memory.
flowfield	Each task is a brush stroke drifting through a seeded flow field, starting at its start order (x) in its process’s row (y). Length is duration, width is peak memory.
mondrian	One block per process, split into one block per task, area proportional to duration. Opacity is peak memory; failed tasks are hollow. Defaults to the mondrian palette.
tree	The run is the trunk, each process a branch in start order from the bottom. Branch length is how long the process was active. Each task is a twig with a leaf: twig length is duration, leaf size is peak memory. Failed tasks have no leaf.
ginkgo	The run is one ginkgo leaf. Each task is a vein fanning out from the stem and forking near its tip. Angle is start time, left to right, length is duration, width is peak memory.
