Branch Properties Can Be Formatted and User-Defined
Where
Can I Find the Branch Format Functions?
The formatting functions are located on the Format
ribbon.
Font properties of branches are changed via the Font command group on the Format Ribbon. This includes Font type, size, foreground and background colour.
Branch shape and Fill colour can be customized through the Branch Appearance command group.
In MindGenius colour
can be used to enhance the meaning of a map as well as to help it look good.
Colour, for instance, can be used to code or categorize a map after a
brainstorming session, to make a particular part of the map stand out or to
create an association to aid memory.
Branch connector type and styles for the whole map are set via the Connector Type menu on the Format Ribbon.
Auto-colour is
used to highlight each thought-path in your map by assigning a different colour
to each Level 1 branch.
Auto Colour is turned on and off via
the Auto Colour toggle command on the Format ribbon.
The
spacing MindGenius places between
child branches and their parent and between sibling branches can be adjusted.
The horizontal or vertical space between branches can be increased or decreased.
The style of a branch can be copied
and applied on to other branches in your map. Branch styles are pasted via the
Paste Style command on the Home Ribbon.
