We will make a map for students to study Natural Resources.
|
Press window key. | First, let's open Freeplane.
Press the windows key on the keyboard. |
Type freeplane in the search form. | In the search form, type Freeplane. |
Open Freeplane. | Double click on the Freeplane icon to open the program. |

Click on Navigate, Fold, Unfold all. |
Point to Air pollution and Burning fossil fuels. | Let’s connect the two summary nodes with a linking line. |
Select both the nodes | For connecting two nodes with linking line, first select both the nodes. |
Select Burning fossil fuels node. | First select Burning fossil fuels node. |
Press and hold the Shift key. | Press and hold the Shift key. |
Choose Air pollution node. | Then choose Air pollution node.
Now both nodes are selected. |
Highlight the line added. | Then, press Control L to add the connector line. |
Hover mouse over Edit, Connect. | Menu alternate for this is Edit, Connect to add connection. |
Cursor on the connecting line and arrow. | Let's add text to the link line, to bring rigour to the map.
Notice that the arrow is pointing to air pollution. This shows burning fossil fuels contribute to air pollution. |
Place the cursor on the connector line and right click. | Place the cursor on the connector line and right click. |
Cursor on the Connector dialog box. | Connector dialog box opens, with many options for formatting. |
In the Middle label form Contributing factors | In the Middle label form, I will type Contributing factors. |
Click on Connector arrows pulldown. | Click on the connector arrows pulldown and notice we can retain or loose arrows. |
Click on Connector shapes pulldown. | Change connector line styles using Connector Shapes pulldown. |

Click on the 'OK' sign. | Click on the OK button to close the dialog box. |
Place cursor on line, left click to see a palm. | Place the cursor on line and left click to see a palm sign. |
Drag to move the line and resize, and bring back to where it was. | We can drag to move the line and resize to suit our needs. |
Cursor on Clean Energy. | Let’s change the node shape for Clean Energy. |
Select Clean energy node. | First, let’s select it. |
Click on the arrow. | Open the Tool panel.
Clean energy is different from fossil fuel energy. |
Scroll down the arrow. | Scroll down the Tool panel. |
In the Tool panel, Node shape pull down, select bubble. | Change node shape to Bubble using Tool panel, node shape pull down. |
Cursor on the windmills node. | When a node shape is changed, descendant nodes also change to the new shape. |
Hover mouse over the Clean energy node and it's children. | Select the descendant nodes and change them to desired styles later. |
Cursor on Clean energy node. | Next, I will add a cloud to the Clean Energy node. |
Select Clean Energy node, and scroll down the Tool panel. | For this, select the node, and scroll down the Tool panel. |
Under the Clouds option, check box of change. | In the Clouds option, click on the check box for change. |
Hover mouse over the node to show cloud. | Notice a cloud gets added to the node and it's children. |
Click on the rectangle next to the cloud color. | To change the cloud color, click on the rectangle, next to cloud color. |
In the Swatches tab, Choose a sky blue color. | The Cloud color dialog box opens.
In the Swatches tab, I will choose a sky blue color. |
Hover mouse over the squares below and click on Ok. | Notice that the square below, also shows the chosen color.
Click on the OK button. |
Cursor on the cloud. | Now the cloud has turned blue and stands out visually in the map. |
Cursor next to Water node. | Let's rearrange the positions of children of the Water node. |
Select Sustenance node. | I want to bring the Sustenance node to the 5th sibling position. |
Hide the Tool panel. | Click on the right arrow on the Tool panel to hide it.
|
Setect Sustenance. | So let us first select it. |
Click on Edit, Move and Sort. | Click on Edit, Move and sort option. |
Click on Move Node (sibling down) twice. | Click twice, on Move Node, sibling down. |
Hover mouse over Sustenance. | This moves the node two places down. |
Click on Edit, Move and Sort and hover mouse on the options. | Nodes can be moved up, left or right using this pull-down. |
Cursor on the canvas. | Keyboard shortcut for this, is to press control with arrow keys. |
Hover mouse over Edit, Move and Sort, Sort Children option | In Freeplane we can also sort child nodes.
The Sort children option seen here, sorts child nodes alphabetically. |
Cursor on the interface. | Now, let’s add Free or floating nodes.
Floating nodes are useful to convey or connect multiple concepts in the map. |
Click on Edit, New Node, New floating Node | Click on Edit, New Node, New floating Node. |
Show the new node on the canvas. | A Free node without any connections is added. |
Select the free node.
Move the mouse slightly to get oval icon to drag it. |
Select the free floating node.
Move the mouse slightly to left till the oval drag option appears on the screen. |
Move the free node to the right of Clean energy node. | Left click, drag and move the free node to the right of Clean energy node. |
Add a text box in video, Let's add a table to the node. | Let's add a table to the node. |
Right-click and select Edit Node core in dialog option.
Point to the dialog box. |
Right-click on the node, and select Edit Node core in dialog option.
Edit Node core in dialog opens. |
Click on Table, Table. | In the box click on the Table menu and select Table option. |
Cursor on the form of the dialog box. | An Insert Table dialog box appears.
This prompts the user to enter the number of columns needed in the table. |
Type 2 in the form, click on OK button. | In the how many columns form, type 2, and click on the OK button. |
Type Ocean Currents, Hydroelectric Power in the two columns. | For node text, type, Ocean Currents and Hydroelectric Power in the two columns.
These are sources of clean energy. |
Cursor on the table menu. | Once a table is added, we can add or delete rows and columns in the table. |
Place the cursor anywhere on the table. | Place the cursor anywhere on the table and left-click. |
Point to the formatting options in the dialog box.
Click on Table and open the pull down. |
Then, options to format the table are available in the drop downs. |
Click on Table, Append row. | Click on Table, Append row. |
Cursor next to the new row. | A new row is added below the last row. |
Type Solar power and Nuclear power in 2nd row. | Add two more clean energies in the new row.
|
Click on Table and hold mouse next to Insert row. | If you choose Table, Insert row, a row is inserted above.
I will not add any more rows to the table now. |
Click on OK button. | Click on the OK button. |
Cursor on the canvas. | Ideas in the floating node link with other nodes in the map. |
Hover mouse next to nodes in table and clean energy. | Since they are clean energy, they can be connected to Clean Energy node. |
Select the Free node and clean energy node. Press Ctrl+L. | So, let's link the floating node with Clean energy. |
Cursor on the linking line. | The arrow on the connector line points to Clean energy. |
Cursor on Water node. | Clean energy also arises from Water and can be regenerated. |
Select Ocean currents and Water nodes, Add a connector. | So, we can add a connector line with the Water node too. |
Format connector line to point arrow to Ocean currents. | Here make the arrow point to the floating node. |
Cursor on the map. | You may pause the video and explore more formatting options. |
Press Control S. | Next, save the map, by pressing Control S.
|
Click on File, Quit Freeplane. | Click on File, Quit Freeplane to quit Freeplane. |
