Dot is a program from the graphviz package to draw graphs from the command line. It can, among other usages, be used to create MindMaps.
Contents
Mindmap
Here's how you create a mindmap with dot:
source.txt
digraph "Wikimap" {
"OS" -> "OpenSource"
"OpenSource" -> "Linux"
"OpenSource" -> "BSD"
"BSD" -> "NetBSD"
"BSD" -> "FreeBSD"
}
create the graphical map
dot -Tpdf -o mindmap.pdf source.txt
view the graphical map
xdg-open mindmap.pdf
remove arrows
Here is how you draw a mindmap without arrows, you use "arrowhead=none":
source.txt
digraph "Wikimap" {
"cloud" -> "public" [arrowhead=none]
"cloud" -> "private" [arrowhead=none]
"cloud" -> "data" [arrowhead=none]
"cloud" -> "virtual machines" [arrowhead=none]
"data" -> "ownCloud" [arrowhead=none]
"public" -> "ownCloud" [arrowhead=none]
}
create the graphical map
$ dot -Tpdf -o mindmap.pdf source.txt
view the graphical map
$ xdg-open mindmap.pdf
Layout
You can use several layouts: dot, twopi, neato and circo. Here is the neato layout:
Sourcecode for the above:
digraph "Wikimap" {
layout=neato
overlap=false
"OS" -> "OpenSource"
"OpenSource" -> "Linux"
"OpenSource" -> "BSD"
"BSD" -> "NetBSD"
"BSD" -> "FreeBSD"
}
