While a tree like structure like above can be insilmaril@28: drawn by hand or any drawing software \vym offers insilmaril@28: much more features to work with such maps. \vym is not another drawing insilmaril@28: software, but a tool to store and modify information in an intuitive insilmaril@28: way. For example you can reorder parts of the map by pressing a key or insilmaril@28: add various information like a complete email by a simple mouse click. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Why should I use maps? Time, Space and your Brain.} insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Space} insilmaril@28: A map can concentrate a very complex content on little space e.g. a insilmaril@28: piece of paper. It helps to use both sides of your brain: the logical insilmaril@28: side and also your creative side (e.g. by using pictures, colors and insilmaril@28: keywords in a map, so called {\em anchors}). It is a technique to insilmaril@28: organize the way you think: It can help you by developing, sorting and insilmaril@28: memorizing your thoughts. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Time} insilmaril@28: Because you just use keywords and drawings, it is much faster than good insilmaril@28: old fashioned notes. Your brain memorizes things by associating them to insilmaril@28: other things -- a map makes use of those connections and stimulates insilmaril@28: new asccociations. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Your Brain} insilmaril@28: In 1960 the Prof. {\sc Roger Sperry} discovered that both hemispheres insilmaril@28: of the human brain have different tasks (of course both of them insilmaril@125: basically {\em can} do the same): insilmaril@125: \begin{center} insilmaril@125: \begin{tabular}{|p{5.5cm}|p{5.5cm}|} \hline insilmaril@125: Left side & Right side \\ \hline insilmaril@125: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@125: \item verbal speech and writing insilmaril@125: \item numbers insilmaril@125: \item logical thinking insilmaril@125: \item analyzing and details insilmaril@125: \item science insilmaril@125: \item linear thinking insilmaril@125: \item concept of time insilmaril@125: \end{itemize} & insilmaril@125: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@125: \item body language insilmaril@125: \item visual thinking, day dreams insilmaril@125: \item intuition and emotion insilmaril@125: \item overview of things insilmaril@125: \item creativity insilmaril@125: \item art, music, dancing insilmaril@125: \item non-linear thinking, connecting things insilmaril@125: \item spatial awareness insilmaril@125: \end{itemize} \\ \hline insilmaril@125: \end{tabular} insilmaril@125: \end{center} insilmaril@28: In our science oriented society we have learned to mainly rely on our insilmaril@28: left side of the brain, the "rational" one. In other cultures, insilmaril@28: especially like the native americans and other "old" cultures, the right insilmaril@28: side is much more important. maps are just one way to stimulate the insilmaril@28: other side and make use of additional ressources we all have. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Where could I use a map?} insilmaril@28: Here are some examples, how you can use those maps insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item to prepare articles, papers, books, talks, \ldots insilmaril@28: \item to sort complex data insilmaril@28: \item to memorize facts, persons, vocabulary, \ldots insilmaril@28: \item to sort emails, files and bookmarks on your computer insilmaril@28: \item to moderate conferences insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{What you shouldn't do with a map...} insilmaril@28: A map drawn by somebody shows the way the author thinks. There is insilmaril@28: no right or wrong in the way it is drawn, so there is no way to critize insilmaril@28: it. "It is, what it is" ({\sc F.~Lehmann}). insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: %\section{Tutorials} insilmaril@28: %TODO insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Internet Ressources} insilmaril@125: A good starting point to learn more about maps in general is Wikipedia: insilmaril@125: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@125: \item English: insilmaril@125: \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map}{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind\_map} insilmaril@125: \item German: insilmaril@125: \href{http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap}{http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap} insilmaril@125: \end{itemize} insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Concept of \vym} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: %TODO may add a general introduction here... insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \vym uses two windows: an editor for the map itself and another one for insilmaril@28: notes, which are part of the map. Let's call them {\em mapeditor} and insilmaril@28: {\em noteeditor}: insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=8cm]{windows.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: Usually you will work in the {\em mapeditor} by just adding new insilmaril@28: branches, moving around and reordering them. The various ways to do this insilmaril@28: will be explained in \ref{mapeditor}. You can store additional insilmaril@28: information e.g. the content of a email easily in a {\em branch}: Just insilmaril@28: type or copy\&paste it into the {\em noteeditor}. Working with notes is insilmaril@28: explained in \ref{noteeditor} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: The map itself has always a {\em mapcenter}. The insilmaril@28: mapcenter has {\em branches} just like the trunk of a tree. Each branch insilmaril@28: in turn may have branches again. insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=10cm]{branches.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: We will call a branch directly connected to the mapcenter a {\em insilmaril@28: mainbranch}, because it determines the position of all its child insilmaril@28: branches. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: The mapcenter and the branches all have a {\em heading}. This is the insilmaril@28: text you see in the mapeditor. Usually it should just be one or a few insilmaril@28: words, so that one can easily keep track of the whole map. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: In the toolbar above the mapeditor you see various symbols. insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=8cm]{default-flags.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: These are called {\em flags} and can be used to mark branches in the insilmaril@28: map, e.g. if something is important or questionable. insilmaril@28: There are also more flags set by \vym automatically to show additional insilmaril@28: information, e.g. when a exists for a particular branch. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@104: By default some of these flags are set exclusively e.g. when the \lq insilmaril@104: thumb-up\rq flag is set, then the \lq thumb down\rq is unset and vice insilmaril@104: versa. You can change this default behaviour in the settings menu. insilmaril@104: insilmaril@28: \section{Mapeditor} \label {mapeditor} insilmaril@28: \subsection{Start a new map} insilmaril@28: After \vym is started two windows will open: the mapeditor and the insilmaril@28: noteditor. Usually you will work in both windows, but at the moment we insilmaril@28: will just need the mapeditor. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: Select the mapcenter "New map" in the middle of the mapeditor by insilmaril@28: left-clicking with the mouse. It will turn yellow to show that is insilmaril@103: selected. There are several ways to add a new branch to the center: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@103: \item Using the mouse: Open the context meny by clicking with the insilmaril@103: right mouse button (CTRL-Click on Mac) onto the insilmaril@103: mapcenter and choose Add \ra Add as child insilmaril@103: \item Press \key{Ins} or \key{A} insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: A new branch will appear and you will be able to type the heading of the insilmaril@28: branch. Finish adding the new branch by pressing \key{Enter}. insilmaril@28: %tipp insilmaril@28: Sometimes it comes handy to add a new branch above or below the current insilmaril@104: one. Use \key{Ins} together with \key{Shift} or \key{Ctrl}. It is also insilmaril@104: possible to add a branch in such a way, that the current selection insilmaril@104: becomes the child of the new branch, which is like inserting it {\em insilmaril@104: before} the selection. This can be done using the context menu. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Navigate through a map} insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Select branches} insilmaril@28: To select branches you can use the left button of your mouse or also the insilmaril@28: arrow keys. Depending on the {\em orientation} of a branch type insilmaril@28: \key{\la} or \key{\ra} to get nearer to the mapcenter or deeper insilmaril@28: down into the branches. Within a set of branches, let's call them a insilmaril@28: {\em subtree}, you can use \key{\ua} and \key{\da} to go up and down. You can insilmaril@28: also use \key{Pos1} and \key{End} to select the first and last branch. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Zoom a map} insilmaril@28: While adding more and more branches the size of the map may become insilmaril@28: bigger than the mapeditor window. You can use the scrollbars on the insilmaril@28: right and the bottom of your mapeditor window to scroll, but it is insilmaril@28: easier to just scroll using the left mouse button: Click onto the {\em insilmaril@28: canvas} itself, the empty space somewhere between the branches. The insilmaril@28: mouse pointer will change from an arrow to a hand, now move the visible insilmaril@28: part of the map to show the desired part. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: If you select branches using the arrow keys, the map will scroll insilmaril@28: to ensure that the selected branch is always visible. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: Working with huge maps, the {\em zoom}-function comes in handy: You can insilmaril@28: use insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item from the menu View \ra Zoom insilmaril@28: \item the toolbar buttons insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=3cm]{zoom-buttons.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: The crossed magnifying lens resets the zoomed view to its original size. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Find Function} \label{findwindow} insilmaril@28: With huge maps there is the need to have a insilmaril@28: find function. Choose Edit \ra Find to open the Find Window: insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=6cm]{find-window.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: The text you enter here will be searched in all the headings and also in insilmaril@28: notes. Everytime you press the "Find"-button it will look for the next insilmaril@28: occurence, which then will be selected automatically. If the search insilmaril@28: fails, there will appear a short message "Nothing found" or a few insilmaril@28: seconds in the {\em statusbar} on the bottom of the mapeditor. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Scroll a part of the map} insilmaril@28: A very big subtree of a map e.g. a branch with hundreds of childs makes insilmaril@28: it very hard to keep an overview over the whole map. You can hide all insilmaril@28: the childs of a branch by {\em scrolling} it -- this function is also insilmaril@28: often called {\em folding}. Think of the whole subtree as painted onto a insilmaril@28: big newspaper. You can scroll the paper to a small roll, leaving just insilmaril@28: the headline readable. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: To scroll or unscroll a branch and its childs, press the insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@103: \item \key{Scroll} key or \key{S} insilmaril@28: \item press the middle-mouse button or insilmaril@28: \item choose the little scroll from the toolbar. insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: If you select parts of a scrolled branch e.g. using the find function or insilmaril@28: by using the arrow-keys, it will unscroll temporary. This is shown as a insilmaril@28: scroll with a little hour glass. If the temporary unscrolled part is not insilmaril@28: longer needed, it will be hidden again automatically. It is also insilmaril@28: possible to unscroll all branches using "Edit\ra Unscroll all scrolled insilmaril@28: branches". insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Modify and move branches} insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Modify the heading of a branch} insilmaril@28: You can edit the heading by selecting the branch and then insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item pressing \key{Enter} insilmaril@28: \item double-clicking with left mouse. insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: Just type the new heading (or edit the old one) and press \key{Enter}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Move a branch} insilmaril@28: The easiest way to move a branch is to select it with left-mouse and insilmaril@28: drag it to the destination while keeping the mouse button pressed. insilmaril@28: Depending on the branch it will be insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item moved to the destination or insilmaril@28: \item {\em linked} to a new {\em parent} (mapcenter or branch) insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: If you drag the branch over another one or over the mapcenter, you will insilmaril@28: notice that the link connecting it to the old parent will be changed to insilmaril@28: lead to the new parent which is now under your mousepointer. insilmaril@28: If you release the button now, the branch will be relinked. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: If you release the button in the middle of nowhere, the result will insilmaril@28: depend on the type of branch you are releasing: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item A mainbranch is directly connected to the mapcenter. insilmaril@28: It will stay on its new position. insilmaril@28: \item An ordinary branch will "jump" back to its original position. insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: Thus you can easily rearrange the layout of the mainbranches to avoid insilmaril@28: overlapping of their subtrees. insilmaril@28: There is another convenient way to move branches, especially if you want insilmaril@28: to {\em reorder} a subtree: You can move a branch up or down in a insilmaril@28: subtree by insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item pressing \key{\ua} and \key {\da} insilmaril@28: \item selecting Edit \ra Move branch insilmaril@28: \item clicking on the toolbar buttons: insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=1.5cm]{move-buttons.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: %tipp insilmaril@28: There is yet another way to move branches: If you press \key{Shift} or insilmaril@28: \key{Ctrl} while moving with the mouse, the branch will be added above insilmaril@28: or below the one the mouse pointer is over. This helps also to reorder a insilmaril@28: map. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{The right side of your brain - colors and images} insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Change color of a heading} insilmaril@28: You can also use colors to put more information into a map, e.g. use insilmaril@28: red, green and more colors to prioritize tasks. Again you can insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item use the menu and choose e.g Format \rq Set Color insilmaril@28: \item use the toolbar insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=3cm]{color-buttons.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: The first button (black in the graphic above) shows the actual color. insilmaril@28: Clicking on it let's you choose another color. You can also "pick" insilmaril@28: another color by selecting a branch with the desired color and using the insilmaril@28: "pick color" button. Both of the buttons showing a bucket actually put insilmaril@28: the current color to the selected branch. While the first one just insilmaril@28: colors the heading of the selection, the last one also colors all the insilmaril@28: childs of the selected branch. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: %tipp insilmaril@28: A very useful function is the "copy color" using the mouse: Select the insilmaril@28: branch which should get the new color, then press \key{Ctrl} and insilmaril@28: simultanously click with left-mouse on another branch to copy its color insilmaril@28: to the first one. Here the childs of the selection also will get the new insilmaril@28: color, if you just want to color the selection itself, additionally insilmaril@28: press \key{Shift}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Use flags} insilmaril@28: \vym provides various flags. You see them in the toolbar on top of the insilmaril@28: mapeditor window. (Note: Like all toolbars you can also move them to the insilmaril@28: left or the right side of the window or even detach them. Just grab the insilmaril@28: very left "dotted" part of the toolbar with your left-mouse button.) insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=8cm]{default-flags.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: If you have a branch selected, you can set any number of flags by insilmaril@28: clicking them in the toolbar. The toolbar buttons change their state and insilmaril@28: always reflect the flags set in the selected branch. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: Presently \vym uses two kinds of flags: {\em System Flags} and {\em insilmaril@28: Standard Flags}. The standard flags are those shown in the toolbar. insilmaril@28: System flags are set by \vym to indicate e.g. that there is additional insilmaril@28: information in a note (more on this in \ref{noteeditor}). Later versions insilmaril@28: of \vym may have another kind of flags, which may be edited by the user. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Images} insilmaril@125: The easiest way to add an image to a branch is by dragging it e.g. from a insilmaril@125: webbrowser to the mapeditor while a branch is selected there. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: You can also add a image to a branch by opening the context menu of the insilmaril@125: branch choose "Add Image". A insilmaril@28: dialog window lets you choose the image to load. insilmaril@28: \footnote{Supported image types are: PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM and PNM. It may insilmaril@28: also support JPEG, MNG and GIF, if specially configured during insilmaril@28: compilation (as done when \vym is part of SUSE LINUX).} insilmaril@28: While an image is selected in the dialog, you can see a preview of the insilmaril@28: image. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: You can position the image anywhere you want, just drag it with left insilmaril@28: mouse. To relink it to another branch, press \key{Shift} while moving insilmaril@28: it. To delete it, press \key{Del}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: If you right-click onto an image, a context menu will open which let's insilmaril@28: you first choose one of several image formats. Then a file dialog opens insilmaril@28: to save the image. Hint: This is used to "export" the image, it will be insilmaril@28: saved anyway in the map itself! You can also cut and insilmaril@28: copy images, but it is not possible to add objects to an image\footnote{ insilmaril@28: Images are regarded as "extra feature". It would make working with insilmaril@28: the map much more complex if e.g. images could be linked to images.} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: The option \lq{\bf Use for export} \rq controls the output of exports insilmaril@28: e.g. to HTML: If set to no, the image won't appear in the {\em text} insilmaril@28: part of the output. This is useful for large images or if images are insilmaril@28: used as a kind of frame e.g. the famous cloud symbol around a part of insilmaril@28: the map. Those shouldn't appear in the middle of the text. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: At the moment image support is preliminary: Images will be saved insilmaril@28: together with all the other data of a map in the {\tt .vym}-file. insilmaril@28: Later versions will include more functionality like resizing the images, insilmaril@28: changing its z-value (put it into background) etc. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Frames} insilmaril@28: A frame can be added to a branch by clicking with the insilmaril@28: right-mouse button. A context menu will open, where you can choose the insilmaril@28: frame. At the moment just a rectangle resp. "No Frame" will be offered, insilmaril@28: nevertheless you can use images as frames. Have a look at the demo map insilmaril@28: {\tt todo.vym} as an example, where the mapcenter is a cloud. You can insilmaril@28: use an external drawing program like {\tt gimp} to create an image, insilmaril@28: preferable with an transparency channel, so that you can design frames insilmaril@28: which don't use a rectangular borderline, just like the cloud. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Background design} insilmaril@28: The design of the background of a map and also of the links connecting insilmaril@28: various parts of the map can be changed by insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item Selecting Format from the menu insilmaril@28: \item Right clicking onto the canvas, which will open a context menu insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Background color} insilmaril@28: The color is set (and also displayed) as "Set background color". insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Link color} insilmaril@28: Links connecting branches can be colored in one of the following ways: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item use the color of the heading of the branch the links is insilmaril@28: \item use {\em one} color for all links. The default color is blue. insilmaril@28: leading to. insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: The latter can be set with "Set link color". Check or uncheck the "Use insilmaril@28: color of heading for link" option to choose one of the two designs for insilmaril@28: your map. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Link style} insilmaril@28: \vym offers four different styles for the appearences of links: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item Line insilmaril@28: \item Parabel insilmaril@28: \item Thick Line insilmaril@28: \item Thick Parabel insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: The "thick" styles only draw links starting at mapcenter thick, the rest insilmaril@28: of the map is always painted "thin". insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Link to other documents} insilmaril@28: Presently \vym supports two kind of links: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item Document, which will be opened in an external webbrowser insilmaril@28: \item \vym map, which will be opened in \vym itself insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Webbrowser} insilmaril@28: Modern Webbrowsers like {\tt konqueror} are able to display various insilmaril@28: types of files, both local or in the internet. To enter the URL of insilmaril@28: any document, right-click onto a branch or use the Edit Menu insilmaril@28: and choose "Edit URL". Enter the path to your document (or copy and insilmaril@28: paste it from your browser). Examples for valid paths are: insilmaril@28: \begin{verbatim} insilmaril@28: http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/index.html insilmaril@28: file:/usr/share/doc/packages/vym/doc/vym.pdf insilmaril@28: \end{verbatim} insilmaril@28: If an URL was entered, a little globe will appear in the branch. By insilmaril@28: clicking on the globe in the toolbar or the context menu an external insilmaril@28: browser\footnote{ insilmaril@28: The browser can be changed in the Settings Menu.} insilmaril@28: will be started. insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{flag-url.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@127: If you want to keep bookmarks in a map, select a branch where you want insilmaril@128: to add the bookmark, then simply drag the URL from your browser to the insilmaril@127: map. Also you could use an existing heading as URL: Right click onto the insilmaril@127: branch and select "Use heading for URL". insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{\vym map} insilmaril@28: To link to to another map right click on a branch or choose "Edit \ra insilmaril@28: Enter \vym link". A file dialog opens where you can choose the map. A insilmaril@28: branch with a link is marked with insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{flag-vymlink.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: Clicking this flag in the toolbar or in the context menu of a branch insilmaril@28: will open the map in another tab (see \ref{tabs} for working with insilmaril@28: multiple maps). To delete an existing link, just press the "Cancel" insilmaril@28: button. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: Technical note: Internally \vym uses absolute paths, to avoid opening insilmaril@28: several tabs containing the same map. When a map is saved, this path is insilmaril@28: converted to a relative one (e.g. {\tt /home/user/vym.map} might become insilmaril@28: {\tt ./vym.map}. This makes it fairly easy to use multiple maps on insilmaril@28: different computers or export them to HTML in future. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Multiple maps} \label{tabs} insilmaril@28: You can work on multiple maps at the same time. Each new map is opened insilmaril@28: in another {\em tab}. The available tabs are shown just above the insilmaril@28: mapeditor. You can use the normal cut/copy/paste functions to insilmaril@28: copy data from one map to another. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: %todo insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: %TODO insilmaril@28: %\subsubsection{Menus} insilmaril@28: %\subsubsection{Keyboard shortcuts} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: % Settings insilmaril@28: % Images insilmaril@28: % Copy & Paste insilmaril@28: % Working with tabs (multiple maps) insilmaril@28: % Exporting insilmaril@28: % Scrolling insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \section{Noteeditor} \label {noteeditor} insilmaril@28: If you want to save more text in a branch e.g. a complete email, a insilmaril@28: cooking recipe, or the whole source code of a software project, you can insilmaril@125: use the noteeditor. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{States} insilmaril@28: Before you can type or paste text into it, you have insilmaril@28: to select a branch in the mapeditor. Note that the background color insilmaril@28: of the noteeditor indicates its state: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item black: no branch selected insilmaril@28: \item grey: no text entered yet insilmaril@28: \item white: text is already available insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: To show you in the mapeditor itself that there is a note with more insilmaril@28: information for a particular branch, a little note flag will appear next insilmaril@28: to the heading of the branch. See the lower branch on the right side: insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=8cm]{branches-flags.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Import and export notes} insilmaril@28: The note is always saved automatically within the \vym file itself. insilmaril@28: Nevertheless sometimes it is nice to import a note from an external file insilmaril@28: or write it. Use "File\ra~Import" and "File\ra~Export" to do so. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Edit and print note} insilmaril@28: Editing works like in any simple texteditor, including undo and redo insilmaril@28: functions. You can delete the complete note by clicking the insilmaril@28: trashcan. Only the note itself is printed by clicking the printer icon. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: When pasting into the editor using the X11 copy\&paste mechanism, the insilmaril@28: editor will create a paragraph for each new line. Usually this is not insilmaril@28: wanted, so there you can convert all paragraphs into linebreaks by using insilmaril@28: Edit~\ra~Remove~Paragraphs or \key{ALT-X}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Fonts} insilmaril@28: The noteeditor is ment to be used for simple notes, not really as full insilmaril@28: featured text editor. Because of many requests \vym supports now insilmaril@28: formatted text in the noteeditor\footnote{ insilmaril@28: \vym uses the QRichtText format, which is basically a subset of the insilmaril@28: formatting provided in HTML.} insilmaril@28: Two default fonts are supported which can be set in the Settings menu. insilmaril@28: One is a fixed width font, the other has variable width. The fixed font insilmaril@28: is usually used for emails, source code etc.\ while the variable font is insilmaril@28: used for simple notes, where one doesn't need fixed character widths. insilmaril@28: Both fonts can easily switched using the following symbol from the insilmaril@28: toolbar: insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: \includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{formatfixedfont.png} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: In the Settings menu both fonts can be set and also which font should be insilmaril@28: used for default. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: Additionally to the default fonts any font installed on your system can insilmaril@28: be used. Please note, that the chosen font also will be used for HTML insilmaril@28: exports, so you should only use fonts which are available generally. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Colors and formatted text} insilmaril@125: \vym supports formatted text (QT Rich Text) in the noteeditor since insilmaril@125: version 1.4.7. Colors and text attributes (e.g. italic, bold) can be insilmaril@125: set with the buttons above the text. The text itself is divided in insilmaril@125: paragraphs. For each paragraph the format can be set (e.g. centered, insilmaril@125: right). A paragraph is ended when a \key{Return} is entered. If you just insilmaril@125: want to begin a new line, press \key{CTRL-Return}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Finding text} insilmaril@28: The noteeditor itself has no Find function, use Find in the mapeditor, insilmaril@28: which will also search all notes (see \ref{findwindow}). insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Pasting text into note editor} insilmaril@28: Often you will paste text into the editor from another application e.g. insilmaril@28: an email. Normally \vym will generate a new paragraph for each new line. insilmaril@28: This usually is not what you want, so you can choose from the menu insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Advanced actions} insilmaril@125: \subsubsection{Edit \ra Convert subsubsections:} insilmaril@125: This turns subsubsections in selected text (or all text, if nothing is insilmaril@28: selected) into linebreaks. This is especially useful for snippets of insilmaril@28: source code. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: \subsubsection{Edit \ra Join Lines:} insilmaril@28: Tries to format text, so that empty lines are used to delimit insilmaril@28: paragraphs. This is done for selected text (or all text, if nothing is insilmaril@28: selected). Especially useful for text like emails, meeting minutes etc. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \section{Hello world} insilmaril@28: \vym can export its maps in various formats and can import data from insilmaril@28: outside (though import is still limited at the moment). insilmaril@105: Also parts of a map can be exported. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Export} insilmaril@28: The format in which the map will be exported can be chosen with insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item File \ra Export \ra {\em format} insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: \vym offers both HTML and ASCII export. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{Image} insilmaril@28: \vym supports all image formats which are natively supported by the insilmaril@28: QT~toolkit: insilmaril@28: BMP, JPEG, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPN, XPM, and XBM. insilmaril@28: For use in websites and for sending images by email PNG is a good insilmaril@28: recommodation regarding quality and size of the image. \vym uses QTs insilmaril@28: default options for compressing the images. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{ASCII} insilmaril@28: Exporting an image as text is somewhat experimental at the moment. Later insilmaril@28: this will probably done using stylesheets. So the output may change in insilmaril@28: future versions of \vym. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{HTML} insilmaril@28: Before a map is exported as HTML, it will be first written as XML into a insilmaril@28: directory (see \ref{xmlexport}). Then the external program {\tt insilmaril@28: xsltproc}\footnote{On SUSE Linux {\tt xsltproc} is installed by insilmaril@28: default.} insilmaril@28: will be called to process the XML file and generate HTML code. insilmaril@28: %A script then will transform the XML insilmaril@28: %version. insilmaril@28: A dialog allows to set various options: insilmaril@28: \begin{itemize} insilmaril@28: \item {\bf Include image:} If set, \vym will creat an image map at insilmaril@28: the top of the HTML output. Clicking on a branch in the map will insilmaril@28: jump to the corresponding section in the output. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \item {\bf Colored headings:} insilmaril@28: If set to yes, \vym will color the headings in the text part with the insilmaril@28: same colors like in the map. insilmaril@28: \item {\bf Show Warnings:} insilmaril@28: If set to yes, \vym will ask before overwriting data. insilmaril@28: \item {\bf Show output:} insilmaril@28: This is useful mainly for debugging. It will show how the processing of insilmaril@28: the XML file works by calling the external {\tt xsltproc}. insilmaril@28: \end{itemize} insilmaril@28: Additionally the paths to the CSS and XSL stylesheets can be set. By insilmaril@28: default on SUSE~Linux they will be in {\tt /usr/share/vym/styles}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: %\paragraph{WIKI style:} This is very useful for easy design of webpages. insilmaril@28: %Here is a short overview: insilmaril@28: %\begin{verbatim} insilmaril@28: %Lines: insilmaril@28: % + Big headlines start with the '+' character. insilmaril@28: % - Small headlines start with the '-' character. insilmaril@28: % Normal text doesn't have any starting notation. insilmaril@28: % ! Notes start with an exclamation. insilmaril@28: % . Indented text starts with a dot. insilmaril@28: % ? Questions start with a question-mark, and insilmaril@28: % = Answers starts with the equal-sign. insilmaril@28: % * Points for a item-list insilmaril@28: % # clues insilmaril@28: % insilmaril@28: %Links: insilmaril@28: % use '{...}' or '{(vym homepage) http://www.insilmaril.de/vym/}' insilmaril@28: % for external links. insilmaril@28: % insilmaril@28: %Markup: insilmaril@28: % |This is bold| text, while insilmaril@28: % |/this text is italic|, insilmaril@28: % |*this is pre-formatted|, and insilmaril@28: % |!this is a note| insilmaril@28: %\end{verbatim} insilmaril@28: % insilmaril@28: %\paragraph{Show output:} This is used for debugging. \vym uses an insilmaril@28: %the external script {\tt vym2html.sh} to preprocess the XML-data. Then insilmaril@28: %\vym calls {\tt xsltproc} to generate the HTML page by using various insilmaril@28: %{\tt .xsl} stylesheets and {\tt wireframe.css}. If you run into problems insilmaril@28: %here, changing paths in {\tt $\sim$/.qt/vymrc} might help. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: \subsubsection*{XML} \label{xmlexport} insilmaril@28: The map is written into a directory both as an image and as XML. The insilmaril@28: directory is set in a file dialog. If the directory is not empty, you insilmaril@28: will be questioned if you risk to overwrite its contents. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: It is possible to export different maps into the same directory. Each insilmaril@28: file generated will have the map's name as prefix, e.g. {\tt todo.vym} insilmaril@28: becomes {\tt todo.xml}, {\tt todo.png}, {\tt todo-image-1.png} and so insilmaril@28: on. This is useful if e.g. for a website several combined maps have to insilmaril@28: be stored in the same directory. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@105: \subsubsection*{Export a part of a map} insilmaril@128: Select a branch you want to export together with its childs, then open insilmaril@105: the context menu and choose {\em Save Selection}. This will create a insilmaril@105: file with the postfix {\tt .vyp}, which is an abbreviation for \lq vym insilmaril@105: part\rq. insilmaril@105: insilmaril@28: \subsection{Import} insilmaril@28: At the moment \vym can read a directory structure. This is mainly for insilmaril@28: testing \vym e.g. to easily create huge maps used for benchmarks (yes, insilmaril@28: there is still room to optimize \vym ;-) insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: Many other applications meanwhile can export their data using XML, so insilmaril@28: volunteers to write import filters are welcome. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@105: Also parts of a vym map ({\tt .vyp}) can be imported. insilmaril@105: insilmaril@28: \subsection{File format} insilmaril@28: \vym maps usually have the postfix "{\tt .vym}" and represent a insilmaril@28: compressed archive of data. If you want to have a insilmaril@28: closer look into the data structure, just uncompress the map manually insilmaril@28: using insilmaril@28: \begin{verbatim} insilmaril@28: unzip vymfile.vym insilmaril@28: \end{verbatim} insilmaril@28: A directory named {\tt vymfile} will be created containing further insilmaril@28: directories both for {\tt images} and {\tt flags}. In the {\tt vymfile} insilmaril@28: directory you will find the map itself, usually named {\tt vymfile.xml}. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@28: This file can be loaded directly into \vym, it does not have to be insilmaril@28: compressed. If you want to compress all the data yourself, use insilmaril@28: \begin{verbatim} insilmaril@28: cd vymfile insilmaril@28: zip -r vymfile.vym . insilmaril@28: \end{verbatim} insilmaril@28: insilmaril@105: \subsubsection*{Importa part of a map} insilmaril@105: Select a branch where you want to add a previously save part of a map insilmaril@105: ({\tt .vyp}), then open insilmaril@105: the context menu and choose {\em Add \ra Import}. For the import you can insilmaril@105: choose between {\em Import Add} and {\em Import Replace}: The imported insilmaril@105: data will be added after the selection resp. replace the selection. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \section{Advanced Editing} insilmaril@125: \vym offers a few shortcuts to let you work more quickly and literally insilmaril@125: to connect any branches directly. insilmaril@125: \subsection{Modifier Modes} insilmaril@125: Modifiers are for example the \key{Shift}- or the \key{Alt}-keys. When insilmaril@125: pressed while doing actions with the mouse, they will cause \vym to use insilmaril@125: a "modified" action. E.g. you can move branches with mouse. If insilmaril@125: \key{Ctrl} or \key{Alt}is pressed while releasing the branch, it will be insilmaril@125: added above/below the target, not as child of the target. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: Without a modifier pressed, the first click on a branch just selects insilmaril@125: it. For the behaviour of the \key{Ctrl} modifier there are several insilmaril@125: options, which can be set from the modifier toolbar: insilmaril@125: \begin{center} insilmaril@125: \includegraphics[width=3cm]{modmodes.png} insilmaril@125: \end{center} insilmaril@125: The default is to copy the color from the clicked branch to the already insilmaril@125: selected branch. In the toolbar shown above the default modifier is insilmaril@125: selected, namely to copy the color of a branch. The second modifier insilmaril@125: let's you easily copy a whole branch with a single click. The third insilmaril@125: modifier lets you create {\em xLinks}, which will be explained in the insilmaril@125: next section. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsection{XLinks} insilmaril@125: So far all the data in the \vym map has been treelike. Using xLinks you insilmaril@125: can link one branch to any other, just like attaching a rope between two insilmaril@125: branches in a real tree. This is especially useful in complex maps, insilmaril@125: where you want to have crossreferences which don't fit on the same insilmaril@125: visible area, which fits on your screen. The following example, which is insilmaril@125: part of the \vym package, still fits on one screen, but shows how data insilmaril@125: can be crosslinked. In the graphics there is a link from a task (prepare insilmaril@125: a presentation) to general information: insilmaril@125: \begin{center} insilmaril@125: \includegraphics[width=12cm]{xlink.png} insilmaril@125: \end{center} insilmaril@125: Note that a xLink which points to a branch that is not visible (because insilmaril@125: it is scrolled), is just show as a little horizontal arrow. In the insilmaril@125: screenshot above have a look at the \lq Tuesday\rq\ branch. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsubsection{Create a xLink} insilmaril@125: Choose the link mode from the modifier toolbar (by clicking or pressing insilmaril@125: \key{L}). Select the branch, where the xLink should start. Press the insilmaril@125: modifier key \key{Ctr} and simultanously click on the branch where the insilmaril@125: link should end. (The link is already drawn before you release the mouse insilmaril@125: key). If you release the mouse over a branch the xLink becomes insilmaril@125: permanent. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsubsection{Modify or delete a xLink} insilmaril@125: Open the context menu of a branch and select \lq Edit xLink\rq. A insilmaril@125: submenu contains all the xLinks of the branch (if there are any). They insilmaril@125: are named like the branches, where they end. Choose one and insilmaril@125: the xLink dialogue opens, where you can set color, width and also delete insilmaril@125: the xLink. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsubsection{Follow a xLink} insilmaril@125: In a complext \vym map it sometimes comes handy to jump to the other end insilmaril@125: of a xLink. You can do this by opening the context menu of the branch insilmaril@125: and clicking on \lq Goto xLink\rq and selecting the xLink you want to insilmaril@125: follow. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Adding and removing links} insilmaril@125: The context menu of a branch shows some more ways to add and delete data insilmaril@125: e.g. you can delete a branch while keeping its childs. The childs become insilmaril@125: linked to the parent of the previously removed branch. insilmaril@125: Similar branches can be inserted into existing maps. For keyboard insilmaril@125: shortcuts also have a look at the context menu. insilmaril@28: insilmaril@105: insilmaril@105: \section{\vym on Mac OS X} insilmaril@105: \subsection{Overview} insilmaril@105: Basically there are two ways to run \vym on Macs: insilmaril@105: \subsubsection{QT Mac Edition:} insilmaril@105: \vym here provides the well known Mac look and feel. \vym is insilmaril@105: available as zipped Mac OS X application. It has been compiled and insilmaril@105: tested in Mac~OS~10.3, but should also work on Tiger. It is using insilmaril@105: the Mac version of Trolltechs QT library. insilmaril@105: \subsubsection{X11} insilmaril@105: \vym can also be run using the Linux version, but then menus and insilmaril@105: handling will also be those of the Linux version e.g. The menu bar insilmaril@105: will look different. insilmaril@105: insilmaril@125: \subsection {Contextmenu and special keys} insilmaril@125: Most Macs unfortunatly just have a single mouse button. In order to show insilmaril@125: the context menu which usually would be opened with the right mouse insilmaril@125: button, you can click while pressing the \key{kommand}-key. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: Especially on Laptops some of the keys usually used on PC keyboards seem insilmaril@125: to be missing. The QT-Mac Edition of \vym has its own keyboard insilmaril@125: shortcuts. To find the shortcuts just have a look at all the menu insilmaril@125: entries, the shortcut is visible next to an entry. Toolbar buttons also insilmaril@125: may have shortcuts, just position the mouse pointer over a button and insilmaril@125: wait for the little help window to appear. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsection {Viewing external links} insilmaril@125: \vym on Mac uses the system call {\tt /usr/bin/open} to view links. insilmaril@125: Mac~OS determines automatically if the link is a pdf or www page and insilmaril@125: opens the right browser. insilmaril@125: insilmaril@125: \subsection{Compiling \vym on Macs} insilmaril@125: Please refer to the documentation available on the internet: insilmaril@125: \begin{center} insilmaril@125: \href{http://www.InSilmaril.de/vym/faq.html}{http://www.InSilmaril.de/vym/faq.html} insilmaril@125: \end{center} insilmaril@125: \end{document} insilmaril@105: insilmaril@28: \section{History of \vym} insilmaril@28: \subsection{Future} insilmaril@28: There are lots of features which might find their way into \vym. insilmaril@28: Together with \vym you should have received a directory with example insilmaril@28: maps e.g. on SUSE~LINUX this is insilmaril@28: \begin{center} insilmaril@28: {\tt /usr/share/doc/packages/vym/demos} insilmaril@28: \end{center} insilmaril@28: where you find the map {\tt todo.vym}. It lists quite a lot of things to insilmaril@28: be done in future.
