Putting thoughts into a mind map
A mind map visualizes information or ideas. Usually, there’s a primary concept in the center; major concepts branch out from it. Smaller ideas start from the major concepts, so it can look like a spider web.
In this recipe, we will draw a mind map of TeX concepts.
How to do it...
We will use the TikZ mindmap library. Follow these steps:
- Start with a document class:
\documentclass{article} - Load the geometry package with the landscape option so that our wide map will fit the page:
\usepackage[landscape]{geometry} - Load the tikz package and the mindmap library:
\usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{mindmap} - Load the dtk-logos package to get additional TeX-related logo macros:
\usepackage{dtk-logos} - Start the document and begin the TikZ picture:
\begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} - Start path with options:
\path [
- Provide the mindmap option, and choose a white text color:
mindmap, ...
