NAME¶
freemind — A Java program for creating and viewing mindmaps.
SYNOPSIS¶
freemind [no_options]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
freemind command.
This manual page was written for the
Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation as
a mindmap (see Help menu in FreeMind).
freemind is a program that allows to create and view so-called mindmaps,
as well as export them to HTML or different image formats. It also has a
plugin concept to extend its functionality.
OPTIONS¶
This program does not have any option. Just start it!
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
- DEBUG
- If this environment variable is set, freemind gives more
information on how it finds its different elements, as well as some other
information.
- JAVACMD
- Default value for the java virtual machine (the java
command).
- JAVA_BINDIR
- If $JAVACMD is not set, the java virtual machine is
searched under $JAVA_BINDIR/java.
- JAVA_HOME
- If $JAVACMD and $JAVA_BINDIR are not set, the java virtual
machine is searched under $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.
- PATH
- If all $JAVA... environment variables fail, the java
virtual machine command (java) is searched in the $PATH (with which).
- CLASSPATH ADD_JARS
- The $CLASSPATH variable also lets one specify additional
jars, which is good, if you want to add a new Look&Feel jar (the motif
one is so ugly...). Alternatively, the content of $ADD_JARS will be
prepended to $CLASSPATH.
- FREEMIND_BASE_DIR
- Directory where FreeMind searches for its plugins and
libraries
FILES¶
- /etc/freemind/freemindrc
~/.freemind/freemindrc
- freemind tries to read its environment variables from
/etc/freemind/freemindrc and ~/.freemind/freemindrc, so that specific
settings are possible at machine and user level.
- /usr/bin/java
- If all searches through environment variables fail, the
java virtual machine is expected to be /usr/bin/java; if not, freemind
exits with an error.
