The core of the software is tools for mind mapping (also known as concept mapping or information mapping) and using mapped information\&. .PP Occupying the middle ground between an editor and a diagramming tool, Freeplane allows the user to add content as quickly and naturally as they would in a text editor, yet producing structured content that can be manipulated as easily as a diagram\&. .PP Features include ordering ideas in nodes and freely positionable nodes, connecting nodes, automatic/conditional styles, scripting, add\-ons, LaTeX, search/filtering, different export features, printing, password protection of nodes/maps and more\&. .PP See http://freeplane\&.sourceforge\&.net/wiki/index\&.php/Main_Page for a full list of applications and features\&. .PP This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page\&.
