Unlikely.

TreeSize, so far as I know, displays only text reports, bar or pie
charts to show space occupied by folders.  Spacemonger uses what are
called "treemaps", invented by Ben Shneiderman at the University of
Maryland in 1990.  They are described at his page here:
http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/treemaps/. Since Treemap 3.0 is released as
a demo version and must be licensed for more advanced features, it may
be that Spacemonger is having trouble with UMD.  Or maybe he used code
from any of the other implementations mentioned on that page.
