Please help completing the following for a compiled comparison over
apps that generates an overview or representation for all or several
related tiddlers (any established term for this?)
A typical application for these could be as, or instead of, a menu.
HyperTiddlyWiki / Hypergraph (Dawn Ahukanna)
http://project.dahukanna.net/tiddlywiki/twextensions.htm#HypergraphPackage
or
http://project.dahukanna.net/tiddlywiki/hypertiddlywiki/index.htm
Gives compact mindmap type representation with all(!) tiddlers
potentially visible.
Based on the external java and xml software Hypergraph and thus
requires external files and folders. Maybe this can now be fully
integrated as a regular plugin with the latest jquery core feature?
As it is, does HTW work for latest TW core / is HTW maintained?
I particularly like the oval display shape in combo with font size
'proportional to' where the focus is, and the possibility to drag/
shift focus. Extremely compact and yet maximum information at the same
time.
TiddlyTagMindMap / TagMindMap (Jon Robson)
http://tiddlytagmindmap.tiddlyspot.com/
Similar in appearece to HyperTiddlyWiki, i.e mindmap type, but it is a
regular TW plugin (correct? Or does it require separate files etc?).
On the negative side, it is less compact than HTW and not possible to
get an overview over all tiddlers. (This creates a myoptic feeling
IMO or maybe I'm missing some setting?)
Status described as experimental. Seems to be worked on currently.
TagCloudPlugin (Shulman, Checketts)
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#TagCloudPlugin
Core 2.1. Maintained.
Cloud for tags or specifically declared tiddlernames. Font size
proportional to numbers of related tiddlers. The tags to be shown can
be set to fulfill certain criteria.
For those who like tag clouds I guess this is perfect. (Personally I
just think they're messy.)
RelatedTiddlersPlugin (Shulman)
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#RelatedTiddlersPlugin
Starting from a selected tiddler, display a list and/or tree of linked
or transcluded tiddlers.
Regularly maintained
(Functionality wise, interpret ShowAllByTags as an "all inlcusive"
instance of RTP, i.e simply a listing with everything sorted under tag
headings.)
For TRP to be practical as some type of menu tool, I think it would
benefit from a slider/expand feature such as Collins TagsTreePlugin
(see next)
TagsTreePlugin (Pascal Collin)
http://visualtw.ouvaton.org/VisualTW.html#TagsTreePlugin
"Menu type" (tree) representation. Core 2.1.0, Last update Jan. 2008 -
maintained?
You define which tags you want represented in the tree and in action,
the tree then auto-shows the tiddlers under their respective tag
heading. (Do I describe this correctly? If a tiddler is tagged with
two tags, will it then show in two places in the tree?)
I like that the branches are collapse/expandable.
TagglyTaggingPlugin (Simon Baird)
http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#TagglyTaggingPlugin
Starting from a selected tiddler or tag name, it gives a list or tree
such as by tag or sitemap or just plain lists. Preferred shape is set
in a small menu over the actual lists, i.e not in the code. (Good!) A
tool I personally use all the time.
A thing I would love to see; The extremely usable sitemap view easily
gets too long - sliders to collapse/expand the branches would be
ideal. It could easily be used as a full side bar menu then.
TagGridPlugin (Shulman)
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TagGridPlugin
A cross-referenced grid of tiddlers, based on tag values.
Please provide additional relevant information and your spontaneous
thoughts.
Thanks
