    43 \section{Introduction}
    44 \subsection{What is a \vym map?}
    45 A \vym map (in short words {\em map}) is a tree like structure:
    46 \begin{center}
    47 	\includegraphics[width=12cm]{example1.png}
    48 \end{center}
    49 Such maps can be drawn by hand on paper or a flip chart and help to
    50 structure your thoughs. While a tree like structure like above can be
    51 drawn by hand or any drawing software \vym offers
    52 much more features to work with such maps. \vym is not another drawing
    53 software, but a tool to store and modify information in an intuitive
    54 way. For example you can reorder parts of the map by pressing a key or
    55 add various information like a complete email by a simple mouse click.
    56 
    57 \subsection{Why should I use maps? Time, Space and your Brain.}
    58 \subsubsection*{Space}
    59 A map can concentrate a very complex content on little space e.g. a
    60 piece of paper. It helps to use both sides of your brain: the logical
    61 side and also your creative side (e.g. by using pictures, colors and
    62 keywords in a map, so called {\em anchors}).  It is a technique to
    63 organize the way you think: It can help you by developing, sorting and
    64 memorizing your thoughts. 
    65 
    66 \subsubsection*{Time}
    67 Because you just use keywords and drawings, it is much faster than good
    68 old fashioned notes. Your brain memorizes things by associating them to
    69 other things -- a map makes use of those connections and stimulates
    70 new asccociations. 
    71 
    72 
    73 \subsubsection*{Your Brain}
    74 In 1960 the Prof. {\sc Roger Sperry} discovered that both hemispheres
    75 of the human brain have different tasks (of course both of them
    76 basically {\em can} do the same): 
    77 \begin{center}
    78 \begin{tabular}{|p{5.5cm}|p{5.5cm}|} \hline
    79 	Left side & Right side \\ \hline
    80 	\begin{itemize}
    81 	   \item verbal speech and writing 
    82 	   \item numbers
    83 	   \item logical thinking
    84 	   \item analyzing and details
    85 	   \item science
    86 	   \item linear thinking
    87 	   \item concept of time
    88 	\end{itemize} &
    89 	\begin{itemize}
    90 		\item body language
    91 		\item visual thinking, day dreams
    92 		\item intuition and emotion
    93 		\item overview of things
    94 		\item creativity
    95 		\item art, music, dancing
    96 		\item non-linear thinking, connecting things
    97 		\item spatial awareness
    98 	\end{itemize}     \\ \hline
    99 \end{tabular}	
   100 \end{center}
   101 In our science oriented society we have learned to mainly rely on our
   102 left side of the brain, the "rational" one. In other cultures,
   103 especially like the native americans and other "old" cultures, the right
   104 side is much more important. maps are just one way to stimulate the
   105 other side and make use of additional ressources we all have.
   106 
   107 
   108 \subsection{Where could I use a map?}
   109 Here are some examples, how you can use those maps
   110 \begin{itemize}
   111     \item to prepare articles, papers, books, talks, \ldots
   112     \item to sort complex data
   113     \item to memorize facts, persons, vocabulary, \ldots
   114     \item to sort emails, files and bookmarks on your computer
   115     \item to moderate conferences
   116 \end{itemize}
   117 
   118 \subsection{What you shouldn't do with a map...}
   119 A map drawn by somebody shows the way the author thinks. There is
   120 no right or wrong in the way it is drawn, so there is no way to critize
   121 it. "It is, what it is" ({\sc F.~Lehmann}).
   122 
   123 %\section{Tutorials}
   124 %TODO
   125 
   126 \subsection{Internet Ressources} 
   127 A good starting point to learn more about maps in general is Wikipedia:
   128 \begin{itemize}
   129 	\item English: 
   130 		\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map}{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind\_map}
   131 	\item German: 
   132 		\href{http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap}{http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap}
   133 \end{itemize}
   134 
   135 \subsection{Concept of \vym}
   136 
   137 %TODO may add a general introduction here...
   138 
   139 \vym uses two windows: an editor for the map itself and another one for
   140 notes, which are part of the map. Let's call them {\em mapeditor} and
   141 {\em noteeditor}: 
   142 \begin{center}
   143 	\includegraphics[width=8cm]{windows.png}
   144 \end{center}
   145 Usually you will work in the {\em mapeditor} by just adding new
   146 branches, moving around and reordering them. The various ways to do this
   147 will be explained in \ref{mapeditor}. You can store additional
   148 information e.g. the content of a email easily in a {\em branch}: Just
   149 type or copy\&paste it into the {\em noteeditor}. Working with notes is
   150 explained in \ref{noteeditor}
   151 
   152 The map itself has always a {\em mapcenter}.  The
   153 mapcenter has {\em branches} just like the trunk of a tree. Each branch
   154 in turn may have branches again.
   155 \begin{center}
   156 	\includegraphics[width=10cm]{branches.png}
   157 \end{center}
   158 We will call a branch directly connected to the mapcenter a {\em
   159 mainbranch}, because it determines the position of all its child
   160 branches.
   161 
   162 The mapcenter and the branches all have a {\em heading}. This is the
   163 text you see in the mapeditor. Usually it should just be one or a few
   164 words, so that one can easily keep track of the whole map.
   165 
   166 
   167 In the toolbar above the mapeditor you see various symbols.
   168 \begin{center}
   169 	\includegraphics[width=8cm]{default-flags.png}
   170 \end{center}
   171 These are called {\em flags} and can be used to mark branches in the
   172 map, e.g. if something is important or questionable. 
   173 There are also more flags set by \vym automatically to show additional
   174 information, e.g. when a  exists for a  particular branch.
   175 
   176 By default some of these flags are set exclusively e.g. when the \lq
   177 thumb-up\rq flag is set, then the \lq thumb down\rq is unset and vice
   178 versa. You can change this default behaviour in the settings menu.
   179 
   180 \section{Mapeditor} \label {mapeditor}
   181 \subsection{Start a new map}
   182 After \vym is started two windows will open: the mapeditor and the
   183 noteditor. Usually you will work in both windows, but at the moment we
   184 will just need the mapeditor. 
   185 
   186 Select the mapcenter "New map" in the middle of the mapeditor by
   187 left-clicking with the mouse. It will turn yellow to show that is
   188 selected. There are several ways to add a new branch to the center:
   189 \begin{itemize}
   190 	\item Using the mouse: Open the context meny by clicking with the
   191 	right mouse button (CTRL-Click on Mac) onto the
   192 	mapcenter and choose Add \ra Add as child
   193 	\item Press \key{Ins} or \key{A}
   194 \end{itemize}
   195 A new branch will appear and you will be able to type the heading of the
   196 branch. Finish adding the new branch by pressing \key{Enter}.
   197 %tipp
   198 Sometimes it comes handy to add a new branch above or below the current
   199 one. Use \key{Ins} together with \key{Shift} or \key{Ctrl}. It is also
   200 possible to add a branch in such a way, that the current selection
   201 becomes the child of the new branch, which is like inserting it {\em
   202 before} the selection. This can be done using the context menu.
   203 
   204 \subsection{Navigate through a map}
   205 \subsubsection*{Select branches}
   206 To select branches you can use the left button of your mouse or also the
   207 arrow keys. Depending on the {\em orientation} of a branch type
   208 \key{\la} or \key{\ra} to get nearer to the mapcenter or deeper
   209 down into the branches. Within a set of branches, let's call them a 
   210 {\em subtree}, you can use \key{\ua} and \key{\da} to go up and down. You can
   211 also use \key{Pos1} and \key{End} to select the first and last branch.
   212 
   213 
   214 \subsubsection*{Zoom a map}
   215 While adding more and more branches the size of the map may become
   216 bigger than the mapeditor window. You can use the scrollbars on the
   217 right and the bottom of your mapeditor window to scroll, but it is
   218 easier to just scroll using the left mouse button: Click onto the {\em
   219 canvas} itself, the empty space somewhere between the branches. The
   220 mouse pointer will change from an arrow to a hand, now move the visible
   221 part of the map to show the desired part.
   222 
   223 If you select branches using the arrow keys, the map will scroll
   224 to ensure that the selected branch is always visible.
   225 
   226 Working with huge maps, the {\em zoom}-function comes in handy: You can
   227 use 
   228 \begin{itemize}
   229 	\item from the menu View \ra Zoom
   230 	\item the toolbar buttons 
   231 		\begin{center}
   232 			\includegraphics[width=3cm]{zoom-buttons.png}
   233 		\end{center}	
   234 \end{itemize}	
   235 The crossed magnifying lens resets the zoomed view to its original size.
   236 
   237 
   238 \subsubsection*{Find Function} \label{findwindow}
   239 With huge maps there is the need to have a
   240 find function. Choose Edit \ra Find to open the Find Window:
   241 \begin{center}
   242 	\includegraphics[width=6cm]{find-window.png}
   243 \end{center}	
   244 The text you enter here will be searched in all the headings and also in
   245 notes. Everytime you press the "Find"-button it will look for the next
   246 occurence, which then will be selected automatically. If the search
   247 fails, there will appear a short message "Nothing found" or a few
   248 seconds in the {\em statusbar} on the bottom of the mapeditor.
   249 
   250 \subsubsection*{Scroll a part of the map}
   251 A very big subtree of a map e.g. a branch with hundreds of childs makes
   252 it very hard to keep an overview over the whole map. You can hide all
   253 the childs of a branch by {\em scrolling} it -- this function is also
   254 often called {\em folding}. Think of the whole subtree as painted onto a
   255 big newspaper. You can scroll the paper to a small roll, leaving just
   256 the headline readable.
   257 
   258 To scroll or unscroll a branch and its childs, press the
   259 \begin{itemize}
   260 	\item \key{Scroll} key or  \key{S}
   261 	\item press the middle-mouse button or
   262 	\item choose the little scroll from the toolbar.
   263 \end{itemize}
   264 If you select parts of a scrolled branch e.g. using the find function or
   265 by using the arrow-keys, it will unscroll temporary. This is shown as a
   266 scroll with a little hour glass. If the temporary unscrolled part is not
   267 longer needed, it will be hidden again automatically. It is also
   268 possible to unscroll all branches using "Edit\ra Unscroll all scrolled
   269 branches".
   270 
   271 
   272 
   273 \subsection{Modify and move branches}
   274 \subsubsection*{Modify the heading of a branch}
   275 You can edit the heading by selecting the branch and then
   276 \begin{itemize}
   277 	\item pressing \key{Enter}
   278 	\item double-clicking with left mouse.
   279 \end{itemize}
   280 Just type the new heading (or edit the old one) and press \key{Enter}.
   281 
   282 \subsubsection*{Move a branch}
   283 The easiest way to move a branch is to select it with left-mouse and
   284 drag it to the destination while keeping the mouse button pressed.
   285 Depending on the branch  it will be
   286 \begin{itemize}
   287 	\item moved to the destination or
   288 	\item {\em linked} to a new {\em parent} (mapcenter or branch)
   289 \end{itemize}
   290 If you drag the branch over another one or over the mapcenter, you will
   291 notice that the  link connecting it to the old parent will be changed to
   292 lead to the  new parent which is now under your mousepointer. 
   293 If you release the button now, the branch will be relinked.
   294 
   295 If you release the button in the middle of nowhere, the result will
   296 depend on the type of branch you are releasing:
   297 \begin{itemize}
   298 	\item A mainbranch is directly connected to the mapcenter.
   299 		It will stay on its new position.
   300 	\item An ordinary branch will "jump" back to its original position.	
   301 \end{itemize}
   302 Thus you can easily rearrange the layout of the mainbranches to avoid
   303 overlapping of their subtrees.
   304 There is another convenient way to move branches, especially if you want
   305 to {\em reorder} a subtree: You can move a branch up or down in a
   306 subtree by
   307 \begin{itemize}
   308 	\item pressing \key{\ua} and \key {\da}
   309 	\item selecting Edit \ra Move branch
   310 	\item clicking on the toolbar buttons:
   311 		\begin{center}
   312 			\includegraphics[width=1.5cm]{move-buttons.png}
   313 		\end{center}	
   314 \end{itemize}
   315 %tipp
   316 There is yet another way to move branches: If you press \key{Shift} or
   317 \key{Ctrl} while moving with the mouse, the branch will be added above
   318 or below the one the mouse pointer is over. This helps also to reorder a
   319 map.
   320 
   321 \subsection{The right side of your brain - colors and images}
   322 \subsubsection*{Change color of a heading}
   323 You can also use colors to put more information into a map, e.g. use
   324 red, green and more colors to prioritize tasks. Again you can
   325 \begin{itemize}
   326 	\item use the menu and choose e.g Format \rq Set Color
   327 	\item use the toolbar
   328 		\begin{center}
   329 			\includegraphics[width=3cm]{color-buttons.png}
   330 		\end{center}	
   331 \end{itemize}
   332 The first button (black in the graphic above) shows the actual color.
   333 Clicking on it let's you choose another color. You can also "pick"
   334 another color by selecting a branch with the desired color and using the
   335 "pick color" button. Both of the buttons showing a bucket actually put
   336 the current color to the selected branch. While the first one just
   337 colors the heading of the selection, the last one also colors all the
   338 childs of the selected branch.
   339 
   340 %tipp
   341 A very useful function is the "copy color" using the mouse: Select the
   342 branch which should get the new color, then press \key{Ctrl} and
   343 simultanously click with left-mouse on another branch to copy its color
   344 to the first one. Here the childs of the selection also will get the new
   345 color, if you just want to color the selection itself, additionally
   346 press \key{Shift}.
   347 
   348 \subsubsection*{Use flags}
   349 \vym provides various flags. You see them in the toolbar on top of the
   350 mapeditor window. (Note: Like all toolbars you can also move them to the
   351 left or the right side of the window or even detach them. Just grab the
   352 very left "dotted" part of the toolbar with your left-mouse button.) 
   353 \begin{center}
   354 	\includegraphics[width=8cm]{default-flags.png}
   355 \end{center}
   356 If you have a branch selected, you can set any number of flags by
   357 clicking them in the toolbar. The toolbar buttons change their state and
   358 always reflect the flags set in the selected branch.
   359 
   360 Presently \vym uses two kinds of flags: {\em System Flags} and {\em
   361 Standard Flags}. The standard flags are those shown in the toolbar.
   362 System flags are set by \vym to indicate e.g. that there is additional
   363 information in a note (more on this in \ref{noteeditor}). Later versions
   364 of \vym may have another kind of flags, which may be edited by the user.
   365 
   366 \subsubsection*{Images}
   367 The easiest way to add an image to a branch is by dragging it e.g. from a
   368 webbrowser to the mapeditor while a branch is selected there.
   369 
   370 You can also add a image to a branch by opening the context menu of the
   371 branch choose "Add Image". A
   372 dialog window lets you choose the image to load. 
   373 \footnote{Supported image types are: PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM and PNM. It may
   374 	also support JPEG, MNG and GIF, if specially configured during
   375 	compilation (as done when \vym is part of SUSE LINUX).}
   376 While an image is selected in the dialog, you can see a preview of the
   377 image.	
   378 
   379 You can position the image anywhere you want, just drag it with left
   380 mouse. To relink it to another branch, press \key{Shift} while moving
   381 it. To delete it, press \key{Del}. 
   382 
   383 If you right-click onto an image, a context menu will open which let's
   384 you first choose one of several image formats. Then a file dialog opens
   385 to save the image. Hint: This is used to "export" the image, it will be
   386 saved anyway in the map itself! You can also cut and
   387 copy images, but it is not possible to add objects to an image\footnote{
   388 	Images are regarded as "extra feature". It would make working with
   389 	the map much more complex if e.g. images could be linked to images.}
   390 
   391 The option \lq{\bf Use for export} \rq controls the output of exports
   392 e.g. to HTML: If set to no, the image won't appear in the {\em text}
   393 part of the output. This is useful for large images or if images are
   394 used as a kind of frame e.g. the famous cloud symbol around a part of
   395 the map. Those shouldn't appear in the middle of the text.
   396 
   397 At the moment image support is preliminary: Images will be saved
   398 together with all the other data of a map in the {\tt .vym}-file.
   399 Later versions will include more functionality like resizing the images,
   400 changing its z-value (put it into background) etc.
   401 
   402 \subsubsection*{Frames}
   403 A frame can be added to a branch by clicking with the
   404 right-mouse button.  A context menu will open, where you can choose the
   405 frame. At the moment just a rectangle resp. "No Frame" will be offered,
   406 nevertheless you can use images as frames. Have a look at the demo map
   407 {\tt todo.vym} as an example, where the mapcenter is a cloud. You can
   408 use an external drawing program like {\tt gimp} to create an image,
   409 preferable with an transparency channel, so that you can design frames
   410 which don't use a rectangular borderline, just like the cloud.
   411 
   412 
   413 \subsection{Background design}
   414 The design of the background of a map and also of the links connecting
   415 various parts of the map can be changed by
   416 \begin{itemize}
   417 	\item Selecting Format from the menu
   418 	\item Right clicking onto the canvas, which will open a context menu
   419 \end{itemize}
   420 
   421 \subsubsection*{Background color}
   422 The color is set (and also displayed) as "Set background color".
   423 
   424 \subsubsection*{Link color}
   425 Links connecting branches can be colored in one of the following ways:
   426 \begin{itemize}
   427 	\item use the color of the heading of the branch the links is
   428 	\item use {\em one} color for all links. The default color is blue.
   429 	leading to.
   430 \end{itemize}
   431 The latter can be set with "Set link color". Check or uncheck the "Use
   432 color of heading for link" option to choose one of the two designs for
   433 your map.
   434 
   435 \subsubsection*{Link style}
   436 \vym offers four different styles for the appearences of links:
   437 \begin{itemize}
   438 	\item Line
   439 	\item Parabel
   440 	\item Thick Line
   441 	\item Thick Parabel
   442 \end{itemize}
   443 The "thick" styles only draw links starting at mapcenter thick, the rest
   444 of the map is always painted "thin".
   445 
   446 
   447 \subsection{Link to other documents}
   448 Presently \vym supports two kind of links:
   449 \begin{itemize}
   450 	\item Document, which will be opened in an external webbrowser
   451 	\item \vym map, which will be opened in \vym itself
   452 \end{itemize}
   453 
   454 \subsubsection*{Webbrowser}
   455 Modern Webbrowsers like {\tt konqueror} are able to display various
   456 types of files, both local or in the internet. To enter the URL of
   457 any document, right-click  onto a branch or use the Edit Menu
   458 and choose "Edit URL". Enter the path to your document (or copy and
   459 paste it from your browser). Examples for valid paths are:
   460 \begin{verbatim}
   461 	http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/index.html
   462 	file:/usr/share/doc/packages/vym/doc/vym.pdf
   463 \end{verbatim}
   464 If an URL was entered, a little globe will appear in the branch. By
   465 clicking on the globe in the toolbar or the context menu an external
   466 browser\footnote{
   467 	The browser can be changed in the Settings Menu.}
   468 will be started.
   469 \begin{center}
   470 	\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{flag-url.png}
   471 \end{center}
   472 If you want to keep bookmarks in a map, select a branch where you want
   473 to add the bookmark, then simply drag the URL from your browser to the
   474 map. Also you could use an existing heading as URL: Right click onto the
   475 branch and select "Use heading for URL".
   476 
   477 \subsubsection*{\vym map}
   478 To link to to another map right click on a branch or choose "Edit \ra
   479 Enter \vym link". A file dialog opens where you can choose the map. A
   480 branch with a link is marked with 
   481 \begin{center}
   482 	\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{flag-vymlink.png}
   483 \end{center}
   484 Clicking this flag in the toolbar or in the context menu of a branch
   485 will open the map in another tab (see \ref{tabs} for working with
   486 multiple maps). To delete an existing link, just press the "Cancel"
   487 button.
   488 
   489 Technical note: Internally \vym uses absolute paths, to avoid opening
   490 several tabs containing the same map. When a map is saved, this path is
   491 converted to a relative one (e.g. {\tt /home/user/vym.map} might become
   492 {\tt ./vym.map}. This makes it fairly easy to use multiple maps on
   493 different computers or export them to HTML in future.
   494 
   495 \subsection{Multiple maps} \label{tabs}
   496 You can work on multiple maps at the same time. Each new map is opened
   497 in another {\em tab}. The available tabs are shown just above the
   498 mapeditor. You can use the normal cut/copy/paste functions to
   499 copy data from one map to another.

   514 \section{Noteeditor} \label {noteeditor}
   515 If you want to save more text in a branch e.g. a complete email, a
   516 cooking recipe, or the whole source code of a software project, you can
   517 use the noteeditor. 
   518 
   519 \subsection{States}
   520 Before you can type or paste text into it, you have
   521 to select a branch in the mapeditor. Note that the background color
   522 of the noteeditor indicates its state:
   523 \begin{itemize}
   524 	\item black: no branch selected
   525 	\item grey: no text entered yet
   526 	\item white: text is already available
   527 \end{itemize}	
   528 To show you in the mapeditor itself that there is a note with more
   529 information for a particular branch, a little note flag will appear next
   530 to the heading of the branch. See the lower branch on the right side:
   531 \begin{center}
   532 	\includegraphics[width=8cm]{branches-flags.png}
   533 \end{center}
   534 
   535 \subsection{Import and export notes}
   536 The note is always saved automatically within the \vym file itself.
   537 Nevertheless sometimes it is nice to import a note from an external file
   538 or write it. Use "File\ra~Import" and "File\ra~Export" to do so. 
   539 
   540 \subsection{Edit and print note}
   541 Editing works like in any simple texteditor, including undo and redo
   542 functions. You can delete the complete note by clicking the
   543 trashcan. Only the note itself is printed by clicking the printer icon.
   544 
   545 When pasting into the editor using the X11 copy\&paste mechanism, the
   546 editor will create a paragraph for each new line. Usually this is not
   547 wanted, so there you can convert all paragraphs into linebreaks by using
   548 Edit~\ra~Remove~Paragraphs or \key{ALT-X}.
   549 
   550 \subsection{Fonts}
   551 The noteeditor is ment to be used for simple notes, not really as full
   552 featured text editor. Because of many requests \vym supports now
   553 formatted text in the noteeditor\footnote{
   554 	\vym uses the QRichtText format, which is basically a subset of the
   555 	formatting provided in HTML.}
   556 Two default fonts are supported which can be set in the Settings menu.
   557 One is a fixed width font, the other has variable width. The fixed font
   558 is usually used for emails, source code etc.\ while the variable font is
   559 used for simple notes, where one doesn't need fixed character widths.
   560 Both fonts can easily switched using the following symbol from the
   561 toolbar:
   562 \begin{center}
   563 	\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{formatfixedfont.png}
   564 \end{center}
   565 In the Settings menu both fonts can be set and also which font should be
   566 used for default. 
   567 
   568 Additionally to the default fonts any font installed on your system can
   569 be used. Please note, that the chosen font also will be used for HTML
   570 exports, so you should only use fonts which are available generally.
   571 
   572 \subsection{Colors and formatted text}
   573 \vym supports formatted text (QT Rich Text) in the noteeditor since
   574 version 1.4.7.  Colors and text attributes (e.g. italic, bold) can be
   575 set with the buttons above the text.  The text itself is divided in
   576 paragraphs. For each paragraph the format can be set (e.g. centered,
   577 right). A paragraph is ended when a \key{Return} is entered. If you just
   578 want to begin a new line, press \key{CTRL-Return}.
   579 
   580 \subsection{Finding text}
   581 The noteeditor itself has no Find function, use Find in the mapeditor,
   582 which will also search all notes (see \ref{findwindow}).
   583 
   584 \subsection{Pasting text into note editor}
   585 Often you will paste text into the editor from another application e.g.
   586 an email. Normally \vym will generate a new paragraph for each new line.
   587 This usually is not what you want, so you can choose from the menu
   588 
   589 \subsection{Advanced actions}
   590 \subsubsection{Edit \ra Convert subsubsections:}
   591 This turns subsubsections in selected text (or all text, if nothing is
   592 selected) into linebreaks. This is especially useful for snippets of
   593 source code.
   594 
   595 \subsubsection{Edit \ra Join Lines:}
   596 Tries to format text, so that empty lines are used to delimit
   597 paragraphs. This is done for selected text (or all text, if nothing is
   598 selected). Especially useful for text like emails, meeting minutes etc.
   599 
   600 \section{Hello world}
   601 \vym can export its maps in various formats and can import data from
   602 outside (though import is still limited at the moment).
   603 Also parts of a map can be exported.
   604 
   605 \subsection{Export}
   606 The format in which the map will be exported can be chosen with
   607 \begin{itemize}
   608 	\item File \ra Export \ra {\em format}
   609 \end{itemize}
   610 \vym offers both HTML and ASCII export.
   611 
   612 \subsubsection*{Image}
   613 \vym supports all image formats which are natively supported by the
   614 QT~toolkit:
   615 BMP, JPEG, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPN, XPM, and XBM.
   616 For use in websites and for sending images by email PNG is a good
   617 recommodation regarding quality and size of the image. \vym uses QTs
   618 default options for compressing the images.
   619 
   620 \subsubsection*{ASCII}
   621 Exporting an image as text is somewhat experimental at the moment. Later
   622 this will probably done using stylesheets. So the output may change in
   623 future versions of \vym.
   624 
   625 \subsubsection*{HTML}
   626 Before a map is exported as HTML, it will be first written as XML into a
   627 directory (see \ref{xmlexport}). Then the external program {\tt
   628 xsltproc}\footnote{On SUSE Linux {\tt xsltproc} is installed by
   629 default.}
   630 will be called to process the XML file and generate HTML code.
   631 %A script then will transform the XML
   632 %version. 
   633 A dialog allows to set various options:
   634 \begin{itemize}
   635 	\item {\bf Include image:} If set, \vym will creat an image map at
   636 	the top of the HTML output. Clicking on a branch in the map will
   637 	jump to the corresponding section in the output.
   638 
   639 	\item {\bf Colored headings:}
   640 	If set to yes, \vym will color the headings in the text part  with the
   641 	same colors like in the map.
   642 	\item {\bf Show Warnings:}
   643 	If set to yes, \vym will ask before overwriting data.
   644 	\item {\bf Show output:}
   645 	This is useful mainly for debugging. It will show how the processing of
   646 	the XML file works by calling the external {\tt xsltproc}.
   647 \end{itemize}
   648 Additionally the paths to the CSS and XSL stylesheets can be set. By
   649 default on SUSE~Linux they will be in {\tt /usr/share/vym/styles}.
   650 
   651 %\paragraph{WIKI style:} This is very useful for easy design of webpages.
   652 %Here is a short overview:
   653 %\begin{verbatim}
   654 %Lines:
   655 %	+ Big headlines start with the '+' character.
   656 %	- Small headlines start with the '-' character.
   657 %	  Normal text doesn't have any starting notation.
   658 %	! Notes start with an exclamation.
   659 %	. Indented text starts with a dot.
   660 %	? Questions start with a question-mark, and
   661 %	= Answers starts with the equal-sign.
   662 %	* Points for a item-list
   663 %	# clues
   664 %	
   665 %Links:
   666 %	use '{...}' or '{(vym homepage) http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/}'
   667 %	for external links.
   668 %	
   669 %Markup:
   670 %	|This is bold| text, while 
   671 %	|/this text is italic|, 
   672 %	|*this is pre-formatted|, and 
   673 %	|!this is a note|
   674 %\end{verbatim}
   675 %
   676 %\paragraph{Show output:} This is used for debugging. \vym uses an
   677 %the external script {\tt vym2html.sh} to preprocess the XML-data. Then
   678 %\vym calls {\tt xsltproc} to generate the HTML page by using various
   679 %{\tt .xsl} stylesheets and {\tt wireframe.css}. If you run into problems
   680 %here, changing paths in {\tt $\sim$/.qt/vymrc} might help.
   681 
   682 \subsubsection*{XML} \label{xmlexport}
   683 The map is written into a directory both as an image and as XML. The
   684 directory is set in a file dialog. If the directory is not empty, you
   685 will be questioned if you risk to overwrite its contents.
   686 
   687 It is possible to export different maps into the same directory. Each
   688 file generated will have the map's name as prefix, e.g. {\tt todo.vym}
   689 becomes {\tt todo.xml}, {\tt todo.png}, {\tt todo-image-1.png} and so
   690 on. This is useful if e.g. for a website several combined maps have to
   691 be stored in the same directory.
   692 
   693 \subsubsection*{Export a part of a map}
   694 Select a branch you want to export together with its childs, then open
   695 the context menu and choose {\em Save Selection}. This will create a
   696 file with the postfix {\tt .vyp}, which is an abbreviation for \lq vym
   697 part\rq.
   698 
   699 \subsection{Import} 
   700 At the moment \vym can read a directory structure. This is mainly for
   701 testing \vym e.g. to easily create huge maps used for benchmarks (yes,
   702 there is still room to optimize \vym ;-)
   703 
   704 Many other applications meanwhile can export their data using XML, so
   705 volunteers to write import filters are welcome.
   706 
   707 Also parts of a vym map ({\tt .vyp}) can be imported.
   708 
   709 \subsection{File format}
   710 \vym maps usually have the postfix "{\tt .vym}" and represent a
   711 compressed archive of data. If you want to have a
   712 closer look into the data structure, just uncompress the map manually
   713 using
   714 \begin{verbatim}
   715 	unzip vymfile.vym
   716 \end{verbatim}
   717 A directory named {\tt vymfile} will be created containing further
   718 directories both for {\tt images} and {\tt flags}. In the {\tt vymfile}
   719 directory you will find the map itself, usually named {\tt vymfile.xml}.
   720 
   721 This file can be loaded directly into \vym, it does not have to be
   722 compressed. If you want to compress all the data yourself, use
   723 \begin{verbatim}
   724 	cd vymfile
   725 	zip -r vymfile.vym .
   726 \end{verbatim}
   727 
   728 \subsubsection*{Importing a part of a map}
   729 Select a branch where you want to add a previously save part of a map
   730 ({\tt .vyp}), then open
   731 the context menu and choose {\em Add \ra Import}. For the import you can
   732 choose between {\em Import Add} and {\em Import Replace}: The imported
   733 data will be added after the selection resp. replace the selection.
   734 
   735 
   736 \section{Advanced Editing}
   737 \vym offers a few shortcuts to let you work more quickly and literally
   738 to connect any branches directly.  
   739 \subsection{Modifier Modes} 
   740 Modifiers are for example the \key{Shift}- or the \key{Alt}-keys. When
   741 pressed while doing actions with the mouse, they will cause \vym to use
   742 a "modified" action. E.g. you can move branches with mouse. If
   743 \key{Ctrl} or \key{Alt}is pressed while releasing the branch, it will be
   744 added above/below the target, not as child of the target.
   745 
   746 Without a modifier pressed, the first click on a branch just selects
   747 it. For the behaviour of the \key{Ctrl} modifier there are several
   748 options, which can be set from the modifier toolbar:
   749 \begin{center}
   750 	\includegraphics[width=3cm]{modmodes.png}
   751 \end{center}
   752 The default  is to copy the color from the clicked branch to the already
   753 selected branch. In the toolbar shown above the default modifier is
   754 selected, namely to copy the color of a branch. The second modifier
   755 let's you easily copy a whole branch with a single click. The third
   756 modifier lets you create {\em xLinks}, which will be explained in the
   757 next section.
   758 
   759 \subsection{XLinks}
   760 So far all the data in the \vym map has been treelike. Using xLinks you
   761 can link one branch to any other, just like attaching a rope between two
   762 branches in a real tree. This is especially useful in complex maps,
   763 where you want to have crossreferences which don't fit on the same
   764 visible area, which fits on your screen. The following example, which is
   765 part of the \vym package, still fits on one screen, but shows how data
   766 can be crosslinked. In the graphics there is a link from a task (prepare
   767 a presentation) to general information:
   768 \begin{center}
   769 	\includegraphics[width=12cm]{xlink.png}
   770 \end{center}
   771 Note that a xLink which points to a branch that is not visible (because
   772 it is scrolled), is just show as a little horizontal arrow. In the
   773 screenshot above have a look at the \lq Tuesday\rq\ branch.
   774 
   775 \subsubsection{Create a xLink}
   776 Choose the link mode from the modifier toolbar (by clicking or pressing
   777 \key{L}). Select the branch, where the xLink should start. Press the
   778 modifier key \key{Ctr} and simultanously click on the branch where the
   779 link should end. (The link is already drawn before you release the mouse
   780 key). If you release the mouse over a branch the xLink becomes
   781 permanent.
   782 
   783 \subsubsection{Modify or delete a xLink}
   784 Open the context menu of a branch and select \lq Edit xLink\rq. A
   785 submenu contains all the xLinks of the branch (if there are any). They
   786 are named like the branches, where they end. Choose one and
   787 the xLink dialogue opens, where you can set color, width and also delete
   788 the xLink.
   789 
   790 \subsubsection{Follow a xLink}
   791 In a complext \vym map it sometimes comes handy to jump to the other end
   792 of a xLink. You can do this by opening the context menu of the branch
   793 and clicking on \lq Goto xLink\rq and selecting the xLink you want to
   794 follow.
   795 
   796 
   797 
   798 \subsection{Adding and removing links}
   799 The context menu of a branch shows some more ways to add and delete data
   800 e.g. you can delete a branch while keeping its childs. The childs become
   801 linked to the parent of the previously removed branch.
   802 Similar branches can be inserted into existing maps. For keyboard
   803 shortcuts also have a look at the context menu.
   804 
   805 
   806 \section{\vym on Mac OS X}
   807 \subsection{Overview}
   808 Basically there are two ways to run \vym on Macs:
   809 \subsubsection{QT Mac Edition:}
   810 	\vym here provides the well known Mac look and feel.  \vym is
   811 	available as zipped Mac OS X application. It has been compiled and
   812 	tested in Mac~OS~10.3, but should also work on Tiger. It is using
   813 	the Mac version of Trolltechs QT library.  
   814 \subsubsection{X11}
   815 	\vym can also be run using the Linux version, but then menus and
   816 	handling will also be those of the Linux version e.g. The menu bar
   817 	will look different. 
   818 
   819 \subsection	{Contextmenu and special keys}
   820 Most Macs unfortunatly just have a single mouse button. In order to show
   821 the context menu which usually would be opened with the right mouse
   822 button, you can click while pressing the \key{kommand}-key.
   823 
   824 Especially on Laptops some of the keys usually used on PC keyboards seem
   825 to be missing. The QT-Mac Edition of \vym has its own keyboard
   826 shortcuts. To find the shortcuts just have a look at all the menu
   827 entries, the shortcut is visible next to an entry. Toolbar buttons also
   828 may have shortcuts, just position the mouse pointer over a button and
   829 wait for the little help window to appear. 
   830 
   831 \subsection {Viewing external links}
   832 \vym on Mac uses the system call {\tt /usr/bin/open} to view links.
   833 Mac~OS determines automatically if the link is a pdf or www page and
   834 opens the right browser.
   835 
   836 \subsection{Compiling \vym on Macs}
   837 Please refer to the documentation available on the internet:
   838 \begin{center}
   839 \href{http://www.InSilmaril.de/vym/faq.html}{http://www.InSilmaril.de/vym/faq.html}
   840 \end{center}
   841 \end{document}
   842 
   843 \section{History of \vym}
   844 \subsection{Future}
   845 There are lots of features which might find their way into \vym.
   846 Together with \vym you should have received a directory with example
   847 maps e.g. on SUSE~LINUX this is
   848 \begin{center}
   849 	{\tt /usr/share/doc/packages/vym/demos}
   850 \end{center}
   851 where you find the map {\tt todo.vym}. It lists quite a lot of things to
   852 be done in future. If you have more ideas, contact the author at
   853 {\tt vym@insilmaril.de}.
