MindMap syntax and features You can create MindMap diagrams using PlantUML. This could be useful for early inception of user requirements.

OrgMode syntax

This syntax is compatible with OrgMode

@startmindmap * Debian ** Ubuntu *** Linux Mint *** Kubuntu *** Lubuntu *** KDE Neon ** LMDE ** SolydXK ** SteamOS ** Raspbian with a very long name *** <s>Raspmbc</s> => OSMC *** <s>Raspyfi</s> => Volumio @endmindmap

Multilines

You can use : and ; to have multilines box.

@startmindmap * Class Templates **:Example 1 <code> template <typename T> class cname{ void f1()<U+003B> ... } </code> ; **:Example 2 <code> other template <typename T> class cname{ ... </code> ; @endmindmap

Colors

It is possible to change node color.

With inline color

OrgMode syntax mindmap

@startmindmap *[#Orange] Colors **[#lightgreen] Green **[#FFBBCC] Rose **[#lightblue] Blue @endmindmap

Markdown syntax mindmap

@startmindmap *[#Orange] root node *[#lightgreen] some first level node *[#FFBBCC] second level node *[#lightblue] another second level node *[#lightgreen] another first level node @endmindmap

With style color

OrgMode syntax mindmap

@startmindmap <style> mindmapDiagram { .green { BackgroundColor lightgreen } .rose { BackgroundColor #FFBBCC } .your_style_name { BackgroundColor lightblue } } </style> * Colors ** Green <<green>> ** Rose <<rose>> ** Blue <<your_style_name>> @endmindmap

Markdown syntax mindmap

@startmindmap <style> mindmapDiagram { .green { BackgroundColor lightgreen } .rose { BackgroundColor #FFBBCC } .your_style_name { BackgroundColor lightblue } } </style> * root node * some first level node <<green>> * second level node <<rose>> * another second level node <<your_style_name>> * another first level node <<green>> @endmindmap

Removing box

You can remove the box drawing using an underscore.

@startmindmap * root node ** some first level node ***_ second level node ***_ another second level node ***_ foo ***_ bar ***_ foobar ** another first level node @endmindmap

Arithmetic notation

You can use the following notation to choose diagram side.

@startmindmap + OS ++ Ubuntu +++ Linux Mint +++ Kubuntu +++ Lubuntu +++ KDE Neon ++ LMDE ++ SolydXK ++ SteamOS ++ Raspbian -- Windows 95 -- Windows 98 -- Windows NT --- Windows 8 --- Windows 10 @endmindmap

Markdown syntax

This syntax is compatible with Markdown

@startmindmap * root node * some first level node * second level node * another second level node * another first level node @endmindmap

Changing style

@startmindmap <style> mindmapDiagram { node { BackgroundColor lightGreen } :depth(1) { BackGroundColor white } } </style> * Linux ** NixOS ** Debian *** Ubuntu **** Linux Mint **** Kubuntu **** Lubuntu **** KDE Neon @endmindmap

Changing diagram direction

It is possible to use both sides of the diagram.

@startmindmap * count ** 100 *** 101 *** 102 ** 200 left side ** A *** AA *** AB ** B @endmindmap

Word Wrap

Using MaximumWidth setting you can control automatic word wrap. Unit used is pixel.

@startmindmap <style> node { Padding 12 Margin 3 HorizontalAlignment center LineColor blue LineThickness 3.0 BackgroundColor gold RoundCorner 40 MaximumWidth 100 } rootNode { LineStyle 8.0;3.0 LineColor red BackgroundColor white LineThickness 1.0 RoundCorner 0 Shadowing 0.0 } leafNode { LineColor gold RoundCorner 0 Padding 3 } arrow { LineStyle 4 LineThickness 0.5 LineColor green } </style> * Hi =) ** sometimes i have node in wich i want to write a long text *** this results in really huge diagram **** of course, i can explicit split with a\nnew line **** but it could be cool if PlantUML was able to split long lines, maybe with an option who specify the maximum width of a node @endmindmap
