https://mapjs-argview.netlify.app/ is a simple adaptation of the mapjs mind map app for the purpose of viewing argument maps. Currently these can only be loaded and saved locally.
This library depends on the following projects:
As of 11 Feb 23, it runs with the latest versions of all of these, except Hammer.JS JQuery Plugin v2.0.0, which requires an insecure version of jQuery, so instead uses v1.1.3.
- You can only select one node at a time, selected nodes have a drop shadow.
- When you add nodes they are added relative to th selected node.
- You can activate multiple nodes at once, these are highlighted with a dotted line.
- When you delete or toggle nodes, this affects all active nodes.
- New nodes automatically give you text focus so you can start adding its initial text.
- Clicking on a node twice lets you edit the node's text.
- Typing in a url will add a clickable link icon to the node allowing you to open that url in another tab. The url's text will not be displayed in the node except when editing it.
- You can add an image to a node by dragging a file or web page image into it.
- Links are arbitrary straight line connections between nodes that are not part of the tree structure.
- You can create them with
alt+click
or with theadd link
toolbar button. - You can select links by clicking on them:
- This displays the Edit Link buttons underneath the main toolbar buttons:
- These can be used to delete the link or change their colour, style or toggle an arrow.
- The selected link is highlighted with a dotted purple line.
- This displays the Edit Link buttons underneath the main toolbar buttons:
- Click inside a node to select it.
- Click twice inside a node to edit the text.
shift+click
: Activates a node.- Menu Toolbar at top has buttons for a number of operations, yet to be documented.
- Dragging and dropping:
- Root nodes only: drag into an open space to re-position.
- Child nodes: Make it into a new root node by dragging it into open space.
- Re-order nodes by dragging and dropping onto another node: you will see a red dotted highlight around the target node.
- You can drag images from files or other web pages into the map, either into existing nodes, or into open space to create new nodes.
- You can drag
.mup
files or.json
files (which contain the.mup
data structure) into a container to paste the file contents.- ISSUE: Only supports the same features as paste, so does not currently support links or themes.
alt+click
on a node adds a link from your currently selected node to the clicked node.- Clicking on a link icon opens up the url in a new tab.
