Hugh wants to list files from Groove in a treemap and asks whether that's easy to do using Groove Web Services and PHP...Yup, very easy, besides the treemap, 8-). Check here for a sample PHP-class using NuSOAP. Good stuff, those treemaps, would indeed be a nice way to present Groove-data.
Check Smartmoney's Map of the Market for an example of a treemap.
