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.

%FREEMIND{ mindMap="http://plug4.com/pub/System/FreeMindPlugin/Wiki.mm" width="200" height="200"}%

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
