SYNOPSIS
- freeplane [-X menukey] [-S] [-N] [-h] [-U] [--help] [file1] [file2] [...]
DESCRIPTION
freeplane
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.
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.
See http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page for a full list of applications and features.
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the Help menu and the Freeplane wiki (http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page).

KNOWN ISSUES
- • There are rendering issues (probably due to OpenJDK), i.e. distortions when scrolling horizontally or vertically. Possible workarounds are described on a wiki page: http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Rendering_Issues
- • Sometimes keypresses get lost when running ibus-daemon: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714524
- • The Debian package does not include the signed applet code. That's why m[blue]most applets won't runm[][1] after creating an applet export from the Debian package. You can ask for the signed applet in the open discussion forum: http://www.freeplane.org/discussion
- • The Freeplane flash export has been excluded, because Debian devs (among them the flash compiler package maintainer) prefer free technologies. You can ask for the 'freeplane-flash-browser' deb in the open discussion forum: http://www.freeplane.org/discussion
