Mindmapping on infinite paper
I am officially in love.
I can’t believe how much fun it is to mindmap with the Cintiq 12WX tablet and the free Inkscape vector-drawing program. The Cintiq’s integrated display means I can just draw on my mindmap, like the way people do on Tablet PCs. I can zoom in and out by sliding a finger along the touch strip. I can move around by pressing a button on the stylus and then moving in the direction I want. I can quickly switch to pencil mode, switch to selection mode, or delete items with a button press. And Inkscape gives me an infinite canvas to work with…
About the only thing that could make this even better would be for me to use a real mindmapping program that can hide and show outline notes–and index my handwriting, too. Oh, and it would need to run on Linux.
In the meantime, I’m going to have some fun. =D

Hello
Look at Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net) which is freeware, based on Java so it works under Linux. But you cannot paint the branches. If you have money to spend, Tony Buzan’s software is not bad and they claim it works under Linux (http://www.imindmap.com/features/). Have fun.
