MindMapper Basics plus important Features
MindMapper Operation
MindMapper mind map software help files, found within the
program, explain how to read and write various files as well as
mind map files using MindMapper. Using our mind mapping
computer software you will find the way to create and read a new
file, or how to switch between mind map and text files. The
Branch shows how to create a mind map by adding branches after
opening a new map file. Primarily, our mind map software deals
with forming branches and other side topic about branches. For
example, MindMapper mind mapping computer software describes
making branches and choosing a style, determining a variety of
colors such as background color or branch line, choosing a
suitable icon for the branch and so forth. In addition, our mind
mapping computer software describes rearrangement of the
branches by means of copy, cut and move using a mouse is
explained.
The View section of the MindMapper help file
shows various ways to view this newly created mind map on the
screen. The orientation of the mind map is basically radial, but
it can be also from left to right, or top to bottom. Any change
in the orientation of the same mind map may create a different
effect with the mind map software. A variety of line shapes
connecting the branches can also be selected. Additionally, with
our mind mapping computer software, it is possible to magnify a
part of the mind map or hide an unnecessary lower branch. The
MindMapper Style section explains how to apply different styles
to a finished mind map or number label the branches. The
MindMapper Print section will show the procedure to print out
the complete mind map. While using this mind mapping computer
software, explanations are given for the overview of the mind
map or text file, choosing a printer, and selecting the margins
of the paper in addition to other functions before printing.
MindMapper Utilization
MindMapper mind map software utilization presents helpful
examples for utilizing MindMapper to fit your needs. For
example, Schedule Management function makes a mind map with

site at Your Examples.
Things To Know First
A Map
As shown in the figure
below, the definition of a mind map is an image of an idea with a topic in the center and
branched by other related topics.

Topic
A topic is a title of the idea you want to create as a mind map.
Branch
Branch is a small critical idea in a mind map, Branch line is the
line connecting branches between two adjacent levels. There is no limit for the branches
per level.

Level
Level is a level of branches mapped around a topic. With our mind mapping
computer software, you may often see rings on the surface of a log or same kind
of pattern created by an object thrown into a pond. With MindMapper mind map
software, the same theory applies in the formation of a mind map as thoughts
spread out from the main topic. The number of levels might be limited by the
memory capacity of a computer, but there is no limit in theory. In the sample
mind map software map above, Level one consists of four branches (branch 1,
branch 2, branch 3, and branch 4). The eight branches from branch 1.1 to branch
4.2 define Level two.

Radial
The mind map software program uses not only radial form
but also other patterns. To understand information shown on
the mind map, you need to understand the basic principles of map
formation first. The MindMapper definition of Radial here is a
spider web-like arrangement of images derived from a topic in
the center. The further it spreads out from the center the more
detailed the map will be. With our mind mapping computer
software you can choose one of the next two directions to
arrange branches on a radial map. From a higher to lower point
on the mind map is the basic pattern.

Note
Note is a description of each branch on the mind map created by a
user.
The process of creating a note provides an
ability to apply a detailed description to each branch.
A note for each branch can be saved as a text file regardless
of the size of the note. In MindMapper,
word wrap is available.
WHAT IS MindMapper?
The limitation of thinking
MindMapper mind mapping computer software helps you get
beyond the limitations of thinking. The ability to arrange
information from many sources in a logical order has become the
most important factor for survival in this modern informational
world. The human brain has left and right brain symmetry with
its own nature and can process information that initially
appears to have no pattern or order. However, the brain has the
ability to process visual information much more efficiently.
The old linear pattern of thinking by reading and describing
from left to right, top to bottom has many problems in
organizing information coming from eyes, ears, etc... For
example, the ability to read and understand the context of a
book is different from memorizing them simply as sentences.
Producing an original composition on a selected topic does not
mean plagiarizing from another book but instead involves
describing your own thoughts as a sentence. Therefore, the most
essential, but also limited, ability to receive information and
express your thoughts is to make a habit of extracting essential
words and analyzing their co-relation.
Mind Map Software
Our Mind Map software uses a method of visualizing critical
parts of your thoughts much like spider web and it is created to
