FreeMindPlugin

The FreeMindPlugin implements the %FREEMIND% tag to render FreeMind mindmaps from a Twiki topic. It requires Adobe's flash player plugin to run from the browser. FreeMind is open-source, "free" graphical mind-mapping software written in Java.

Syntax

%FREEMIND{ mindMap="pathToMindMap.mm" <optional attributes>}

Example

%FREEMIND{ mindMap="%ATTACHURL%/Wiki.mm" width="200" height="200"}}%

This example uses %ATTACHURL% to locate a mindmap file attached to the same page.

If this plugin is installed, you will see the sample mindmap displayed via flash player.

Settings

FreeMindPlugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting, write %FreeMindPlugin_<setting>%, e.g. %FreeMindPlugin_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

• One line description, is shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
  • Set FreeMindPlugin_SHORTDESCRIPTION = one line description here
• Debug plugin: (See output in data/debug.txt) *Set FreeMindPlugin_DEBUG = 0
