Key Features:

Uses the world-famous Mind Mapping® technique.
By combining words, special symbols, color and pictures, Mind Maps are very similar to the way we think. They are widely used where the communication counts.

The Brainstorming mode enables you to generate ideas quickly, or discuss them in a group. You jot down the ideas in a form of an outline and view the results immediately. The timer allows to time-limit the brainstorming session.

Outline view lets easily switch between the map and its textual description. Any changes and additions immediately appear in both views.

Mouse click mapping
The hand driven drawing lets add topics with a simple mouse click in the place you want it to appear. This function provides for extremely easy and visual mind-mapping and is very useful during team brainstorming sessions where every second may count.

Customizable Symbols
When creating mind-map you can choose between two major symbol styles: Classic and Framed. On the whole the MINMDMAP set of symbols exceeds 3000 icons.

Task Information
The task information dialog allows adding start and due dates, duration, percentage completed and resources to the topics. This feature allows project managers generate and analyze task lists of their projects in MINMDMAP and then export this lists to project management applications such as MS Project XML, ConceptDraw Project and LeadingProject file formats.

Use text notes to supply additional information where needed. They can be edited easily in a floating window. When exported to HTML, notes come up as hints in the browser.

Arrange and Sort Tools.
With one click of a button you can arrange your mind map in different directions, sort by priorities or alphabetically.

The Format Map dialog makes it possible to change the style of entire map - shape, colour and width of lines, text attributes. You can also create and save custom styles.

Multi-Page Maps.
Each map may have several pages, connected with hyperlinks. It means you can create highly detailed, multi-level map. By exporting it to HTML you get a complete multi-page website and can navigate through its pages in the browser.

Callout and Floating Topics
You can add your comments to the topics using callouts. The floating topics allow placing random ideas that do not suit the map subject matter outside your map and then go back to this ideas later.

Support for popular file formats:
BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, TGA, EMF, PICT, EPS, HTML. Export to PDF allows to create compact and platform-independent documents.

Developed by Tony Buzan, "mind maps" are an efficient way to generate, plan and organize ideas based on associations.

Creating a mind map, you start with putting a symbol with the main idea in the center of a page. Then you add key notions, questions and answers spreading from it in the form of branches. The notions are organized in a hierarchical order e.g. The notion "car" is subdivided into brands, such as "Ford" or "Opel", each brand may include several models, etc.

Pictures, colours and different symbols help to make a mind map really easy to read and remember. As a result you get a structured graphical map, with key words and pictures.
