Dot is a program from the graphviz package to draw graphs from the command line. It can, among other usages, be used to create MindMaps.
Mindmap
Here's how you create a mindmap with dot:
source.txt
digraph "Wikimap" { "OS" -> "OpenSource" "OpenSource" -> "Linux" "OpenSource" -> "BSD" "BSD" -> "NetBSD" "BSD" -> "FreeBSD" }
create the graphical map
$ dot -Tps -o mindmap.ps source.txt
view the graphical map
$ konqueror mindmap.ps
remove arrows
Here is how you draw a mindmap without arrows, you use "arrowhead=none":
source.txt digraph "Wikimap" {
"cloud" -> "public" [arrowhead=none] "cloud" -> "private" [arrowhead=none] "cloud" -> "data" [arrowhead=none] "cloud" -> "virtual machines" [arrowhead=none] "data" -> "ownCloud" [arrowhead=none] "public" -> "ownCloud" [arrowhead=none]
} create the graphical map
$ dot -Tps -o mindmap.ps source.txt
view the graphical map
$ konqueror mindmap.ps
