Here are some key aspects of the user interface:
| 1. | The Mind Map, which is made up of the background, the branches, and various graphics. |
| 2. | The toolbar - you can edit the options that are displayed on the toolbar by right-clicking on it. You can also hide it completely if you want, just by clicking on the lozenge shaped button at the top right corner of the window. |
| 3. | See the little expansion triangle? If you click this, it will hide away the palettes on the right, and click it again to show them. |
| 4. | This is a palette - different palettes are shown according to what is selected on your Mind Map. You can reorder the palettes by dragging them into a different order. You can also drag the palettes off to make them floating windows, and you can stack them so that they are joined to each other like floating inspectors. If you don't want to use a particular palette at a given time, you can click on the minus button in its title bar to minimize it - the only thing left showing will be the title bar, with a plus button on it to restore it. |
| 5. | Some palettes have advanced options on the back of them. This is indicated by an arrow button in the top right corner of the palette. When you click on this button, the palette will flip showing you the advanced editing options. |
| 6. | This shows a palette that has been flipped - notice the different color, the (Advanced) sign in the title bar, and the "turn back" arrow button at the top right. |
| 7. | This is the map tab bar - each tab item is a Mind Map within the document. If there are too many Mind Maps to fit on the toolbar, there is a >> icon at the end which has a menu attached so you can select the other Mind Maps. You can drag the Mind Maps into a different order just by dragging the tabs, and you can even drag a tab out of one document into another document to copy the entire Mind Map into the other document. |
