<strong>MindView</strong> Documentation<br />

The layouts available depend on the view you are using. If you are using one of the<br />

three Map views for instance, you can choose between the traditional Mind Map layout, the<br />

Left or Right layout or the Top Down layout.<br />

Browse through the Styles gallery to choose your preferred style.<br />

<strong>MindView</strong> also lets you design your own style, using the Style Designer. For more<br />

information, see "Creating a custom style" below.<br />

(optional) To further customize the visual aspect of your map, explore the options available in<br />

the Effects and Properties panels.<br />

If necessary, you can undo your changes and return the map to the initial style by choosing<br />

Effects | Reset Style.<br />

All the design options you choose here apply to the entire map. You can however apply<br />

different design options to selected branches. To find out how to do this, refer to "Formatting a<br />

branch".<br />

By default, <strong>MindView</strong> organizes the map so that the bounding areas containing the branches<br />

and their sub-branches do not overlap with each other. For some map layouts, this may create<br />

large empty spaces between branches which make the map harder to overview. In those cases,<br />

the Compact Map option may produce a better layout by bringing the branches as close to each<br />

other as possible, as shown in the examples below. Note however that the compact mode is more<br />

demanding on computer performance.<br />
