freeplane - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

freeplane - Program for working with Mind Maps.

SYNOPSIS

freeplane [-X menukey] [-S] [-N] [-h] [-U] [--help] [file1] [file2] [...]

DESCRIPTION

freeplane is a free and open source software application that supports thinking, sharing
information and getting things done at work, in school and at home. The core of the
software is tools for mind mapping (also known as concept mapping or information mapping)
and using mapped information.

Occupying the middle ground between an editor and a diagramming tool, Freeplane allows the
user to add content as quickly and naturally as they would in a text editor, yet producing
structured content that can be manipulated as easily as a diagram.

Features include ordering ideas in nodes and freely positionable nodes, connecting nodes,
automatic/conditional styles, scripting, add-ons, LaTeX, search/filtering, different
export features, printing, password protection of nodes/maps and more.

See http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page for a full list of
applications and features.

This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program
does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the Help menu and the
Freeplane wiki (http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page).

KNOWN ISSUES

· There are rendering issues (probably due to OpenJDK), i.e. distortions when scrolling
horizontally or vertically. Possible workarounds are described on a wiki page:
http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Rendering_Issues

· Sometimes keypresses get lost when running ibus-daemon:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714524

· The Debian package does not include the signed applet code. That's why most applets
won't run[1] after creating an applet export from the Debian package. You can ask for
the signed applet in the open discussion forum: http://www.freeplane.org/discussion

· The Freeplane flash export has been excluded, because Debian devs (among them the
flash compiler package maintainer) prefer free technologies. You can ask for the
'freeplane-flash-browser' deb in the open discussion forum:
