SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps teams and individuals visualize ideas, plans, and knowledge by generating hierarchical mind maps using PlantUML's @startmindmap syntax.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports hierarchical mind maps with root and nested branches using * and markers that map to levels.
  • Enables left/right layout control, radial diagram options, and per-node styling for clear emphasis.
  • Use cases include brainstorming sessions, study notes, decision trees, and project planning.
  • Example: quickly outline a topic and render a diagram to share with teammates.

Quick Start

Start with @startmindmap, define the root and branches with * markers, and wrap in a plantuml fence to render.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create hierarchical mind maps to visualize brainstorming results?

Hierarchical mind maps are generated using PlantUML's @startmindmap syntax, using * markers to map out root and nested branches, which visually structures your brainstorming results.

What is the best way to structure study notes and decision trees using PlantUML?

PlantUML mind maps structure study notes and decision trees by applying left/right branches and radial layouts to decompose topics hierarchically, with per-node styling for clear emphasis.

Can I use radial layouts and style individual nodes in a PlantUML mind map?

Yes, PlantUML mind maps support radial layouts and per-node styling, allowing you to control left/right branch directions and visually emphasize specific nodes within the hierarchy.

Does PlantUML mind map syntax require specific fencing to render diagrams consistently?

PlantUML mind map syntax requires plantuml fencing and proper @startmindmap/@endmindmap usage to ensure the hierarchical diagram renders consistently across different viewers.

What are the limitations of using PlantUML for project planning and topic decomposition?

PlantUML mind maps are limited to hierarchical structures using * markers for project planning and topic decomposition, enforcing specific root and nested branch levels rather than freeform spatial layouts.
