mindmap view of one subtree

[Xu Wang]

Dear Leo User,

Is there any plugin can show a sub tree of Leo outlines into a mind map view?

For example, like below

https://www.mindmaps.app/#  

So user can edit outlines, or adding new childs..

BR,

Austin

Well, Leo has support for doing this sort of thing with the open source app: Freemind, never us it but you can probably search for usage inside of this group.  As far the app you mention, it saves it's trees via json, so you would have to write your own custom exporter.

You will find the exporter plugins in the "writer plugins" part of leoPluginsRef.leo.  They are small and simple.  The writer_dict struct associates the plugin with file extensions.

I'm also interested in displaying parts of Leo outlines as mind maps.  Making them be interactive with Leo would involve a lot, but making them display-only would be much easier.  The layout algorithm and its details would be the biggest challenge.  Display could be either in a QT5 drawing pane or a QT5 web browser pane.

For a browser pane, the most obvious choices are to use javascript to draw on the canvas, or to use svg.  I favor using svg.  Actually, what I have in mind would be *slightly* interactive, in that clicking on an item in the displayed mind map would put the Leo cursor right into the corresponding node in the outline.

HI Thomas,

Just making sure that you are aware of LeoVue. It might save you a lot of effort.

Thanks ... I know of it in a vague sort of way and wanted to see if it would be helpful.
