5.118 \subsection{What is a \vym map?}
5.119 -A \vym map (in short words {\em map}) is a tree like structure:
5.120 -\begin{center}
5.121 - \includegraphics[width=12cm]{example1.png}
5.122 -\end{center}
5.123 -Such maps can be drawn by hand on paper or a flip chart and help to
5.124 -structure your thoughs. While a tree like structure like above can be
5.125 -drawn by hand or any drawing software \vym offers
5.126 -much more features to work with such maps. \vym is not another drawing
5.127 -software, but a tool to store and modify information in an intuitive
5.128 -way. For example you can reorder parts of the map by pressing a key or
5.129 -add various information like a complete email by a simple mouse click.
5.130 +A \vym map (abbreviated below as {\em map}) is a tree-like structure:
5.131 +\maximage{images/example1.png}
5.132 +Such maps can be drawn by hand on a sheet of paper or flip chart and help to
5.133 +structure your thoughts. While a tree like structure like the illustration above can be
5.134 +drawn manually \vym offers much more features to work with such maps.
5.135 +\vym is not just another drawing software application, but a tool to store and modify
5.136 +information in an intuitive way. For example you can reorder parts of
5.137 +the map by pressing a key or add various pieces of information like a complete
5.138 +email by a simple mouse click.

5.140 -\subsection{Why should I use maps? Time, Space and your Brain.}
5.141 +Once you have finished collecting and organising your ideas, you can
5.142 +easily generate a variety of outputs including for example a
5.143 +presentation in Open~Office based on a {\em map}.

5.152 piece of paper. It helps to use both sides of your brain: the logical
5.153 -side and also your creative side (e.g. by using pictures, colors and
5.154 -keywords in a map, so called {\em anchors}). It is a technique to

5.158 +keywords in a map, often called {\em anchors}). It is a technique to help
5.159 +organize the way you think and stimulate your creativity: It can help you by developing, sorting and helping to memorise your ideas.
5.160
5.161 \subsubsection*{Time}
5.162 Because you just use keywords and drawings, it is much faster than good
5.163 -old fashioned notes. Your brain memorizes things by associating them to
5.164 -other things -- a map makes use of those connections and stimulates
5.165 +old fashioned 'notes'. Your brain memorizes things by associating them with
5.166 +other things -- a {\em map} makes use of those connections and stimulates
5.167 new asccociations.

5.170 \subsubsection*{Your Brain}
5.171 -In 1960 the Prof. {\sc Roger Sperry} discovered that both hemispheres
5.172 -of the human brain have different tasks (of course both of them
5.173 -basically {\em can} do the same): The left side is specialised in
5.174 -\begin{itemize}
5.175 - \item verbal speech and writing
5.176 - \item numbers
5.177 - \item logical thinking
5.178 - \item analyzing and details
5.179 - \item science
5.180 - \item linear thinking
5.181 - \item concept of time
5.182 -\end{itemize}
5.183 -while the right side of the human brain is specialised in
5.184 -\begin{itemize}
5.185 - \item body language
5.186 - \item visual thinking, day dreams
5.187 - \item intuition and emotion
5.188 - \item overview of things
5.189 - \item creativity
5.190 - \item art, music, dancing
5.191 - \item non-linear thinking, connecting things
5.192 - \item spatial awareness
5.193 -\end{itemize}
5.194 -In our science oriented society we have learned to mainly rely on our
5.195 -left side of the brain, the "rational" one. In other cultures,
5.196 -especially like the native americans and other "old" cultures, the right
5.197 -side is much more important. maps are just one way to stimulate the
5.198 -other side and make use of additional ressources we all have.

5.255 +
5.256 +However, when groups share in creating a {\em map} all of the group will benefit from its use. An example of such use is when a Tutor develops a {\em map} with a group of students during instruction. Another group use is when a Project leader gathers a group of specialists to help {\em map} the tasks that will be required to deliver a project.

5.276 -
5.277 -\vym uses two windows: an editor for the map itself and another one for
5.278 -notes, which are part of the map. Let's call them {\em mapeditor} and
5.279 -{\em noteeditor}:
5.280 -\begin{center}
5.281 - \includegraphics[width=8cm]{windows.png}
5.282 -\end{center}
5.283 -Usually you will work in the {\em mapeditor} by just adding new
5.284 +\subsection{The Mainwindow and its satellites} \label{satellite}
5.285 +\vym comes with several windows, the central one being the {\em
5.286 +mapeditor}.
5.287 +More windows, each having a special purpose, can be opened and arranged
5.288 +around the mainwindow\footnote{
5.289 + The advantage of having separate window instead of integrating them
5.290 + in a combined workspace is flexibility in arranging the windows. For
5.291 + example I usually have the {\em noteeditor} "behind" the {\em
5.292 + mapeditor}. On Linux my windowmanager (KDE) allows me to enter text
5.293 + into a small visible corner of the {\em noteeditor} withour clicking
5.294 + the mouse button in it. I just push the mouse around to set the
5.295 + window focus, a concept which is useful also working with
5.296 + \href{http://www.gimp.org}{http://www.gimp.org}.
5.297 +}.
5.298 +The image below shows the {\em mapeditor}
5.299 +together with the often used {\em noteeditor}:
5.300 +\maximage{images/windows.png}
5.301 +Most of the time you will work in the {\em mapeditor} by just adding new
5.302 branches, moving around and reordering them. The various ways to do this
5.303 will be explained in \ref{mapeditor}. You can store additional
5.304 information e.g. the content of a email easily in a {\em branch}: Just
5.305 type or copy\&paste it into the {\em noteeditor}. Working with notes is
5.306 explained in \ref{noteeditor}
5.307 +
5.308 +Here is a list of the available satellite windows:
5.309 +\begin{itemize}
5.310 + \item Noteeditor (see \ref {noteeditor})
5.311 + \item Historywindow (see \ref{historywindow})
5.312 + \item Branch Property Window (see \ref{propwindow})
5.313 +\end{itemize}
5.314
5.315 -The map itself has always a {\em mapcenter}. The
5.316 -mapcenter has {\em branches} just like the trunk of a tree. Each branch
5.317 -in turn may have branches again.
5.318 -\begin{center}
5.319 - \includegraphics[width=10cm]{branches.png}
5.320 -\end{center}
5.321 +
5.322 +\subsection{Menus and Context menus}
5.323 +At the top of each window you will find the menubar. The options provided there
5.324 +are similar to those you are probably used to from other applications. Note that
5.325 +many (and even more) options are available via {\em context menus}. Those
5.326 +are available if you right-click onto an object in a map (on Mac~OS~X
5.327 +Command-Click).
5.328 +
5.329 +\subsection{Toolbars}
5.330 +The toolbars in the mainwindows give quick access to many functions and
5.331 +also display the state of selected objects in the map. For example a
5.332 +branch may show certain {\em flags}, the corresponding flags are also
5.333 +set in the toolbar.
5.334 +
5.335 +\hint {You can reposition all toolbars by simply grabbing and
5.336 +dragging them with the toolbar handle to a new position. For example you
5.337 +can move the flags-toolbar from its original horizontal position on top
5.338 +of the mapeditor to a vertical position on the right side. Or just
5.339 +insert it again at its original position. Also hiding some of the
5.340 +toolbars is possible by right-clicking on the toolbar handle.}
5.341 +
5.342 +\subsection{Maps}
5.343 +The {\em map} itself has always a {\em mapcenter}. The
5.344 +mapcenter has {\em branches} radiating out from the centre just like the trunk
5.345 +of a tree. Each branch in turn may have branches again.
5.346 + \maximage{images/branches.png}
5.347 We will call a branch directly connected to the mapcenter a {\em
5.348 mainbranch}, because it determines the position of all its child
5.349 branches.
5.350
5.351 The mapcenter and the branches all have a {\em heading}. This is the
5.352 text you see in the mapeditor. Usually it should just be one or a few
5.353 -words, so that one can easily keep track of the whole map.

5.1150 +Macros have been added to \vym in version~1.9.0.
5.1151 +So far they have a preliminary character, maybe they are going to be
5.1152 +replaced by full-featured scripting functionality later (though the
5.1153 +commands will be more or less the same).
5.1154 +
5.1155 +Each function key
5.1156 +\key{F1} to \key{F12} holds a macro, which is executed on the current
5.1157 +selection if the key is pressed. The default macros change the colour of
5.1158 +a subtree or set the frame of a branch:
5.1159 +\begin{center}
5.1160 + \includegraphics[width=8cm]{images/macros.png}
5.1161 +\end{center}
5.1162 +Each macro is a \vym script, which is executed when the associated key
5.1163 +is pressed. The default location of the scripts can be changed in the
5.1164 +Settings menu. More information on using scripts in \vym is found in
5.1165 +[\ref{settings})

5.1168 +\subsection{Bookmarks} \label{bookmarks}
5.1169 +\subsubsection*{Open new tabs instead of new windows}
5.1170 +If you use konqueror as your browser, \vym will remember the konqueror session which
5.1171 +was opened first by \vym. You can also press \key{Ctrl} and click to
5.1172 +open the link in a new tab.
5.1173 +
5.1174 +\vym can also open a new tab in Mozilla or Firefox using the remote
5.1175 +command\footnote{\href{http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html}{http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html}}
5.1176 +of these browsers.
5.1177 +
5.1178 +\subsubsection*{Drag and Drop}
5.1179 +If you want to keep bookmarks in a map, select a branch where you want
5.1180 +to add the bookmark, then simply drag the URL from your browser to the
5.1181 +map. Also you could use an existing heading as URL: Right click onto the
5.1182 +branch and select "Use heading for URL".
5.1183 +
5.1184 +
5.1185 +\subsubsection*{Directly access bookmark lists of a browser}
5.1186 +Please see the sections \ref{import} and \ref{export} about
5.1187 +Import and Export filters.
5.1188 +
5.1189 +\subsubsection*{Special URLs}
5.1190 +\vym can turn an existing heading of a branch into an URL. Currently
5.1191 +this works for Bugentries in the Novell Bugtracking system: Open the
5.1192 +context menu of a branch (usually by right-clicking it) and select
5.1193 +\begin{itemize}
5.1194 + \item Create URL to Bugzilla
5.1195 +\end{itemize}
5.1196 +The URL will be build from the number in the heading.
5.1197 +
5.1198 +\subsection{Associating images with a branch} \label{incimg}
5.1199 +The default setting for an image is for it to float "freely". Images can be
5.1200 +positioned anywhere on the canvas, but may end up in the same place as other
5.1201 +parts of the map obscuring that part of the map.
5.1202 +
5.1203 +The solution is to insert or include them "into" a branch. This can be done via
5.1204 +the property window (see \ref{propwindow}):
5.1205 +\begin{itemize}
5.1206 + \item Include images horizontally
5.1207 + \item Include images vertically
5.1208 +\end{itemize}
5.1209 +The image is still positioned relative to its parent branch, but the
5.1210 +heading and border of the branch frame adapt to the floating image, see below:
5.1211 + \maximage{images/includeImages.png}
5.1212 +
5.1213 +\subsection{Modifier Modes}
5.1214 +Modifiers are for example the \key{Shift}- the \key{Ctrl}- ot the \key{Alt}-keys. When
5.1215 +pressed while applying mouse actions, they will cause \vym to use
5.1216 +a "modified" version of the action which usually would be done.
5.1217 +
5.1218 +%\key{Ctrl} or \key{Alt}is pressed while releasing the branch, it will be
5.1219 +%added above/below the target, not as child of the target.
5.1220 +
5.1221 +Without a modifier key pressed, the first mouse click on a branch just selects
5.1222 +it. For the behaviour of the \key{Ctrl} modifier there are several
5.1223 +options, which can be set from the modifier toolbar:
5.1224 +\begin{center}
5.1225 + \includegraphics[width=3cm]{images/modmodes.png}
5.1226 +\end{center}
5.1227 +The default mode is to copy the colour from the clicked branch to the already
5.1228 +selected branch. The figure above shows the toolbar with the default modifier
5.1229 +selected. The second modifier
5.1230 +let's you easily copy a whole branch with a single click. The third
5.1231 +modifier lets you create links between branches called {\em xLinks}.
5.1232 +They will be explained in the next section \ref{xlinks}.
5.1233 +
5.1234 +\subsection{Hide links of unselected objects} \label{hidelink}
5.1235 +Sometimes it would be useful to position a branch freely, just like a
5.1236 +mainbranch or an image. This is possible for all
5.1237 +branches, you can use a mainbranch and hide its connecting link to the
5.1238 +mapcenter or hide the link between a child branch and its parent. This can be used e.g. for legends or a collection of vymLinks
5.1239 +pointing to other maps:
5.1240 +\begin{center}
5.1241 + \includegraphics[width=9cm]{images/hiddenlink.png}
5.1242 +\end{center}
5.1243 +To hide the link between a branch and its parent open the
5.1244 +\ref{propwindow} and check "Hide link if object is not selected" on
5.1245 +"Link" tab.
5.1246 +
5.1247 +
5.1248 +\subsection{XLinks} \label{xlinks}
5.1249 +So far all the data in the \vym map has been treelike. Using xLinks you
5.1250 +can link one branch to any other, just like attaching a rope between two
5.1251 +branches in a real tree. This is especially useful in complex maps,
5.1252 +where you want to have crossreferences which can not be displayed on the same
5.1253 +visible area of the {\em mapeditor} window. The following example map still fits on one screen, but shows how data can be crosslinked. In the graphics there is a link from a task (prepare a presentation) to general information:
5.1254 + \maximage{images/xlink.png}
5.1255 +Note that a xLink which points to a branch that is not visible (because
5.1256 +it is scrolled), is just shown as a little horizontal arrow. In the
5.1257 +screenshot above have a look at the \lq Tuesday\rq\ branch.
5.1258 +
5.1259 +\subsubsection*{Create a xLink}
5.1260 +Choose the link mode from the modifier toolbar (by clicking the toolbar icon or pressing
5.1261 +\key{L}). Select the branch, where the xLink should start. Press the
5.1262 +modifier key \key{Ctrl} and then click on the selected branch where the
5.1263 +link should start and drag the mouse pointer to the branch where the link is to end. (The link is drawn to follow the mouse pointer). When you release the mouse over a branch the xLink becomes permanent.
5.1264 +
5.1265 +\subsubsection*{Modify or delete a xLink}
5.1266 +First select a branch at either end of the xLink. Then open the context
5.1267 +menu and select \lq Edit xLink\rq. A submenu contains all the xLinks of
5.1268 +the branch (if there are any). They are named like the branches, where
5.1269 +they end. Choose one and the xLink dialogue opens, where you can set
5.1270 +colour, width and also delete the xLink.
5.1271 +
5.1272 +\subsubsection*{Follow a xLink}
5.1273 +In a complex \vym map it sometimes comes in handy to be able to jump to the other end
5.1274 +of a xLink. You can do this by opening the context menu of the branch
5.1275 +and clicking on \lq Goto xLink\rq and selecting the xLink you want to
5.1276 +follow.
5.1277 +
5.1278 +
5.1279 +
5.1280 +\subsection{Adding and removing branches}
5.1281 +The context menu of a branch shows some more ways to add and delete data
5.1282 +e.g. you can delete a branch while keeping its children. The children become
5.1283 +linked to the parent of the previously removed branch.
5.1284 +Similar branches can be inserted into existing maps. For keyboard
5.1285 +shortcuts also have a look at the context menu.
5.1286 +
5.1287 +\subsection{Adding a whole map or a part of a map}
5.1288 +Select a branch where you want to add a previously saved map ({\tt
5.1289 +.vym})or a part of a map ({\tt .vyp}) , then open the context menu and
5.1290 +choose {\em Add \ra Add Map (Insert)}. For the import you can choose
5.1291 +between {\em Add Map (Insert)} and {\em Add Map (Replace)}: The imported
5.1292 +data will be added after the selected branch.
5.1293 +
5.1294 +
5.1295 +\section{\vym on Mac OS X}
5.1296 +\subsection{Overview}
5.1297 +Basically there are two ways to run \vym on Macs:
5.1298 +\subsubsection*{Qt Mac Edition:}
5.1299 + \vym here provides the well known Mac look and feel. \vym is
5.1300 + available as Mac OS X application package in contained in a disk
5.1301 + image ({\tt vym.dmg}. It has been compiled and tested in
5.1302 + Mac~OS~10.4. This package includes runtime libraries of Qt by
5.1303 + Trolltech.
5.1304 +
5.1305 +\subsubsection*{X11 version} \vym can also be run using the Linux
5.1306 +version, but then menus and handling will also be those of the Linux
5.1307 +version e.g. The menu bar will look different.
5.1308 +
5.1309 +\subsection {Contextmenu and special keys}
5.1310 +Most Macs unfortunatly just have a single mouse button. In order to show
5.1311 +the context menu which usually would be opened with the right mouse
5.1312 +button, you can click while pressing the \key{kommand}-key.
5.1313 +
5.1314 +Especially on Laptops some of the keys usually used on PC keyboards seem
5.1315 +to be missing. The QT-Mac Edition of \vym has its own keyboard
5.1316 +shortcuts. To find the shortcuts just have a look at all the menu
5.1317 +entries, the shortcut is visible next to an entry. Toolbar buttons also
5.1318 +may have shortcuts, just position the mouse pointer over a button and
5.1319 +wait for the little help window to appear.
5.1320 +
5.1321 +\subsection {Viewing external links}
5.1322 +\vym on Mac uses the system call {\tt /usr/bin/open} to view links.
5.1323 +Mac~OS determines automatically if the link is a pdf or www page and
5.1324 +opens the right browser.
5.1325 +
5.1326 +
5.1327 +\newpage
5.1328 +
5.1329 +\begin{appendix}
5.1330 +
5.1331 +\section{\vym initialisation process and configuration}
5.1332 +\subsection {Settings menu}
5.1333 + The {\em Settings} menu allows to configure \vym to your needs:
5.1334 +
5.1335 +\subsubsection*{Set application to open PDF files} Choose a PDF
5.1336 + viewer like {\tt acrobat} or {\tt konqueror} which is installed on
5.1337 + your system.
5.1338 +
5.1339 +\subsubsection*{Set application to open external links}
5.1340 + Choose your favourite webbrowser here.
5.1341 +
5.1342 +\subsubsection*{Set path for macros}
5.1343 + Set the default search path for macros, which will be executed when
5.1344 + you press one of the function keys. Each key corresponds to a file
5.1345 + ({\tt macro-1.vys..macro12.vys}) in the search path.
5.1346 +
5.1347 +\subsubsection*{Set number of undo levels}
5.1348 + Sets the number of undo/redo levels. The default setting is
5.1349 + 75~levels.
5.1350 +
5.1351 +\subsubsection*{Autosave and autosave time}
5.1352 + Automatic saving of modified maps can be toggled on or off. The
5.1353 + autosave time is entered in seconds.
5.1354 +
5.1355 +\subsubsection*{Write backup on save}
5.1356 + When saving a map called {\tt example.vym}, \vym will rename the
5.1357 + existing file to {\tt example.vym\~{}} before writing the {\tt
5.1358 + example.vym} itself.
5.1359 +
5.1360 +\subsubsection*{Edit branch after adding it}
5.1361 + If set, the heading of a new branch will be edited immediatly after
5.1362 + adding the branch.
5.1363 +
5.1364 +\subsubsection*{Select branch after adding it}
5.1365 + If set, a new branch will be selected immediatly after adding it.
5.1366 + When you "brainstorm" on a given keyword, you don't want to go
5.1367 + deeper and deeper into details, but keep the focus on the keyword.
5.1368 + So the default setting here is to {\em not} select the freshly added
5.1369 + branch.
5.1370 +
5.1371 +\subsubsection*{Select existing heading}
5.1372 + If set and you begin to edit the heading of a branch, the heading text in
5.1373 + the dialog will be selected. Usefully to copy\&paste to other
5.1374 + applications.
5.1375 +
5.1376 +\subsubsection*{Delete key}
5.1377 + If set, the \key{Delete} is enabled to, well, delete objects. This
5.1378 + can be switched off to avoid confusing with the nearby
5.1379 + \key{Insert}-key on PC keyboards.
5.1380 +
5.1381 +\subsubsection*{Exclusive flags}
5.1382 + If set, some of the standard flags can only be used exclusively,
5.1383 + e.g.~the smileys.
5.1384 +
5.1385 +\subsubsection*{Use hide flags}
5.1386 + If set, every branch which also has the hide flag set (see
5.1387 + \ref{hideexport}) will be hidden in exports.
5.1388 +
5.1389 +\subsection{Configuration file}
5.1390 +On startup \vym will look for a configuration for user specific settings
5.1391 +like window positions, toolbars etc. If this file does not already
5.1392 +exist, it will be created. The file is located in the users home
5.1393 +directory. The exact position depends on the platform:
5.1394 +\begin{center}
5.1395 +\begin{tabular}{cl}
5.1396 + {\bf Platform} & {\bf Configuration file} \\ \hline
5.1397 + Linux & {\tt $\sim$/.config/InSilmaril/vym.conf } \\
5.1398 + Mac OS X & {\tt /Users/NAME/Library/Preferences/com.insilmaril.vym.plist } \\
5.1399 +\end{tabular}
5.1400 +\end{center}
5.1401 +The file can be edited manually, or on Mac~OS~X with Property List
5.1402 +Editor (installed with xtools).
5.1403 +
5.1404 +\subsection{Path to ressources}
5.1405 +\vym will try to find its ressources (images, stylesheets, filters,
5.1406 +etc.) in the following places:
5.1407 +\begin{enumerate}
5.1408 + \item Path given by the environment variable {\tt VYMHOME}.
5.1409 + \item If called with the local option (see \ref{options} below),
5.1410 + \vym will look for its data in the current directory.
5.1411 + \item {\tt /usr/share/vym}
5.1412 + \item {\tt /usr/local/share/vym}
5.1413 +\end{enumerate}
5.1414 +
5.1415 +\subsection{Command line options} \label{options}
5.1416 +\vym has the following options:
5.1417 +\begin{center}
5.1418 +\begin{tabular}{cccp{8cm}}\\
5.1419 +\bf Option & \bf Comment & \bf Argument & \bf Description \\ \hline
5.1420 +v & version & & Show version and codename of \vym\\
5.1421 +l & local & & Use local paths to stylesheets, translations, icons,
5.1422 + etc. instead of system paths. Useful for testing\\
5.1423 +h & help & & Show help\\
5.1424 +r & run & filename & Load and run script\\
5.1425 +q & quit & & Quit immediatly after startup. Useful for benchmarks.\\
5.1426 +\end{tabular}
5.1427 +\end{center}
5.1428 +You can also give several filenames at the commandline to let \vym open
5.1429 +several maps at once.
5.1430 +
5.1431 +
5.1432 +\section{Scripts} \label{scripts} %FIXME
5.1433 +
5.1434 +TODO: This section of the \vym manual is not complete yet, sorry.
5.1435 +
5.1436 +\subsection{Example scripts}
5.1437 +\subsubsection{Export a set of maps}
5.1438 +\begin{code}
5.1439 +\# Simple vym script to export images of various maps simultanously
5.1440 +exportImage ();
5.1441 +\end{code}
5.1442 +The script above can be used to export all maps in a directory
5.1443 +automatically. If the script is named {\tt export-image.vys}, call \vym with
5.1444 +\begin{code}
5.1445 +\$ vym --quit --run export-image.vys *.vym
5.1446 +\end{code}
5.1447 +
5.1448 +
5.1449 +\section{Contributing to \vym}
5.1450 +So far I'd say I have written 98\% of the code on my own. No surprise,
5.1451 +that \vym exactly fits my own needs. Nevertheless I would like to
5.1452 +encourage all users of \vym to contribute. Maybe not only with feature
5.1453 +requests, but also with code, new import/export filters, translations
5.1454 +etc. In this appendix I'll try to show how easy it is to expand the
5.1455 +things you can do already with \vym. I really look forward to hear from
5.1456 +you!
5.1457 +
5.1458 +\subsection{Getting help}
5.1459 +
5.1460 +\subsubsection*{Frequently asked questions}
5.1461 +Please refer to the FAQ available on the \vym website:
5.1462 +\begin{center}
5.1463 +\href{http://www.InSilmaril.de/vym/faq.html}{http://www.InSilmaril.de/vym/faq.html}
5.1464 +\end{center}
5.1465 +
5.1466 +\subsubsection*{Mailinglists}
5.1467 +There are two mailinglists: {\tt vym-forum} is the \vym users forum to
5.1468 +discuss various questions, while {\tt vym-devel} is intended for people
5.1469 +interested in contributing to \vym. You can view the archives and
5.1470 +subscribe at
5.1471 +\begin{center}

5.1474 +
5.1475 +\subsubsection*{Contacting the author}\label{author}
5.1476 +Especially for support questions please try the mailinglists first. If
5.1477 +everything else fails you can contact the author Uwe Drechsel at
5.1478 +\begin{center}
5.1479 +\href{mailto:vym@InSilmaril.de}{vym@InSilmaril.de}

5.1481 +
5.1482 +
5.1483 +
5.1484 +\subsection{How to report bugs}
5.1485 +Though Sourceforge has its own bugreporting system, I'd rather prefer if
5.1486 +you contact me directly (see \ref{author}) or even better: You can file
5.1487 +a bugreport in Bugzilla, the bugtracking system of openSUSE:
5.1488 +\begin{center}
5.1489 +\href{http://en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_bug}{http://en.opensuse.org/Submit\_a\_bug}
5.1490 +\end{center}
5.1491 +I build \vym regulary for openSUSE, so you may report it against a
5.1492 +recent version there, even if you use another Operating System.
5.1493 +Please don't forget to tell me what you are using:
5.1494 +\begin{itemize}
5.1495 + \item the exact steps needed to reproduce the bug
5.1496 + \item the version and build date of \vym (see the Help \ra About
5.1497 + \vym)
5.1498 + \item hardware and Operating System
5.1499 +\end{itemize}
5.1500 +
5.1501 +\subsection{Compiling from the sources}
5.1502 +\subsubsection{Getting the sources} \label{getsources}
5.1503 +You find the latest version of \vym at the project site:
5.1504 +\begin{center}
5.1505 +\href{https://sourceforge.net/projects/vym/}{https://sourceforge.net/projects/vym/}
5.1506 +\end{center}
5.1507 +There you can check them out of the source repository (CVS):\\
5.1508 +
5.1509 \begin{verbatim}
5.1510 - unzip vymfile.vym
5.1511 -\end{verbatim}
5.1512 -A directory named {\tt vymfile} will be created containing further
5.1513 -directories both for {\tt images} and {\tt flags}. In the {\tt vymfile}
5.1514 -directory you will find the map itself, usually named {\tt vymfile.xml}.
5.1515 -
5.1516 -This file can be loaded directly into \vym, it does not have to be
5.1517 -compressed. If you want to compress all the data yourself, use
5.1518 -\begin{verbatim}
5.1519 - cd vymfile
5.1520 - zip -r vymfile.vym .
5.1521 +cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/vym checkout code
5.1522 \end{verbatim}
5.1523
5.1524 +\subsubsection{The Qt toolkit}
5.1525 +Qt is C++ toolkit for multiplatform GUI and application development. It
5.1526 +provides single-source portability across MS~Windows, Mac~OS~X, Linux
5.1527 +and all major commercial Unix variants. Qt is also available for
5.1528 +embedded devices. Qt is a Trolltech product. For more information see
5.1529 +\begin{center}
5.1530 +\href{http://www.trolltech.com/qt/}{www.trolltech.com/qt}
5.1531 +\end{center}
5.1532 +
5.1533 +
5.1534 +\subsubsection{Compiling \vym }
5.1535 +Make sure you have installed your Qt environment properly, see the Qt
5.1536 +documentation for details. You need to have the Qt command {\tt qmake}
5.1537 +in your {\tt PATH}-environment, then run
5.1538 +\begin{code}
5.1539 +\$ qmake
5.1540 +$ make
5.1541 +$ make install
5.1542 +\end{code}
5.1543 +The last command {\tt make install} needs root-permissions. Of course it
5.1544 +may be omitted, if you just want to test \vym.
5.1545 +
5.1546 +%\subsubsection*{Compiling \vym on Macs}
5.1547 +%FIXME
5.1548 +
5.1549 +\subsection{\vym file format} \label{fileformat}
5.1550 +\vym maps usually have the suffix "{\tt .vym}" and represent a
5.1551 +compressed archive of data. If you want to have a
5.1552 +closer look into the data structure map called "mapname.vym",
5.1553 +just uncompress the map manually using
5.1554 +\begin{code}
5.1555 +\$ unzip mapname.vym
5.1556 +\end{code}
5.1557 +This will create directories named {\tt images} and {\tt flags} in your
5.1558 +current directory and also the map itself, usually named {\tt
5.1559 +mapname.xml}.
5.1560 +The XML structure of \vym is pretty self explaining, just have a look at
5.1561 +{\tt mapname.xml}.
5.1562 +
5.1563 +This XML file can be loaded directly into \vym, it does not have to be
5.1564 +compressed. If you want to compress all the data yourself, use
5.1565 +\begin{code}
5.1566 +\$ zip -r mapname.vym .
5.1567 +\end{code}
5.1568 +to compress all data in your current directory.
5.1569 +
5.1570 +\subsection{New features}
5.1571 +There are lots of features which might find their way into \vym.
5.1572 +Together with \vym you should have received a directory with several
5.1573 +example maps. You find them by clicking Help \ra Open~vym~example~maps.
5.1574 +There you will find the map {\tt vym-projectplan.vym}. It lists quite a
5.1575 +lot of things to be done in future. If you have more ideas, contact the
5.1576 +development team at {\tt vym-devel@lists.sourceforge.net}.
5.1577 +
5.1578 +
5.1579 +\subsection{New languages support}
5.1580 +In order to add a new language to \vym you need
5.1581 +the sources (see \ref{getsources}) and
5.1582 +an installation of Trolltechs QT. A part of QT are the development
5.1583 +tools, from those tools especially the translation tool "Linguist" is
5.1584 +needed.
5.1585 +
5.1586 +In some Linux distributions the development tools are in an extra package, e.g. on SUSE LINUX you should have installed:
5.1587 +\begin{code}
5.1588 +libqt4-devel.rpm
5.1589 +libqt4-devel-doc.rpm
5.1590 +libqt4-devel-tools.rpm
5.1591 +\end{code}
5.1592 +If you don't have QT in your system, you can get it from
5.1593 + \href{http://www.trolltech.com}{http://www.trolltech.com} Once you
5.1594 + are able to compile vym yourself, you can translate the text in vym
5.1595 + itself by performing the following steps:
5.1596 +\begin{itemize}
5.1597 + \item Let's assume now your encoding is "NEW" instead of for example
5.1598 + "de" for german or "en" for english
5.1599 +
5.1600 + \item Copy the file {\tt lang/vym\_en.ts} to l{\tt ang/vym\_NEW.ts} (The code
5.1601 + itself contains the english version.)
5.1602 +
5.1603 + \item Add {\tt lang/vym\_NEW.ts} to the TRANSLATIONS section of vym.pro
5.1604 +
5.1605 + \item Run Linguist on {\tt vym\_NEW.ts} and do the translation
5.1606 +
5.1607 + \item Run {\tt lrelease} to create {\tt vym\_NEW.qm}
5.1608 +
5.1609 + \item Do a make install to install the new vym and check your translation
5.1610 +\end{itemize}
5.1611 +
5.1612 +If you feel brave, you can also translate the manual. It is written in
5.1613 +LaTeX, you just have to change the file tex/vym.tex. (Linguist and QT
5.1614 +are not needed, but it is useful to know how to work with LaTeX and esp.
5.1615 +pdflatex to create the PDF.)
5.1616 +
5.1617 +Please mail me every translation you have done. I can also give you a
5.1618 +developer access to the project, if you want to provide translations
5.1619 +regulary.
5.1620 +
5.1621 +\subsection{New export/import filters}
5.1622 +\vym supports various kinds of filters. Data can be written directly,
5.1623 +inserted into templates or it can be written as XML data and then
5.1624 +processed by XSL transformations.
5.1625 +
5.1626 +Most of the import/export functionality is available in the classes
5.1627 +ImportBase and ExportBase and subclasses. All of them can be found in
5.1628 +{\tt imports.h} and {\tt exports.h}.

5.1630 +\subsubsection*{Direct import/export}
5.1631 +An example for a direct export is the XML export. This method touches
5.1632 +the implementation of nearly every object of \vym, so whenever possible
5.1633 +you should better use a XSL transformation instead.
5.1634 +
5.1635 +If you still want to know how it is done, start looking at
5.1636 +{\tt MapEditor::saveToDir} in {\tt mapeditor.cpp}.
5.1637 +
5.1638 +\subsubsection*{Templates}
5.1639 +Templates have been introduced to export to opendoc format used e.g. by
5.1640 +Open~Office. While I read the spec ($>$ 500 pages) about the format\footnote{
5.1641 +\href{http://www.oasis-open.org/}{http://www.oasis-open.org/}}\
5.1642 +I had the feeling that I did not want to write the export from scratch.
5.1643 +It would be too complex to adapt the styles to your own wishes, e.g. the
5.1644 +layout.
5.1645 +
5.1646 +Instead I analyzed existing Open~Office documents. I found out that
5.1647 +there are lots of redundant bits of information in a standard
5.1648 +presentation, for example each list item is contained in its own list.
5.1649 +In the end I came up with the default presentation style, which still
5.1650 +could be simplified, just in case you have free time\ldots
5.1651 +
5.1652 +The existing templates are still work in progress, before you spend too
5.1653 +much time developing your own style, please contact me. Basically the
5.1654 +following steps are needed to build your own style:
5.1655 +\begin{enumerate}
5.1656 + \item Create an example in Open Office. Use a title, authors name,
5.1657 + page heading etc.\ which you can easily grep for in the output file.
5.1658 +
5.1659 + \item Unzip the Open Office document into a directory.
5.1660 +
5.1661 + \item The main file is called {\tt content.xml}. All data is in one
5.1662 + single line. You can split the XML tags using the script {\tt
5.1663 + scripts/niceXML}, which is part of the \vym distribution.
5.1664 +
5.1665 + \item Copy the output of {\tt niceXML} to {\tt
5.1666 + content-template.xml}.
5.1667 +
5.1668 + \item Looking closer you will find lots of unused definitions, for
5.1669 + example of styles. You can delete or simply ignore them.
5.1670 +
5.1671 + \item Try to find your title, authors name. \vym will replace the
5.1672 + following strings while exporting:
5.1673 + \begin{center}
5.1674 + \begin{tabular}{lp{4cm}}
5.1675 + {\tt <!-- INSERT TITLE -->} & title of map \\
5.1676 + {\tt <!-- INSERT AUTHOR--> } & author \\
5.1677 + {\tt <!-- INSERT COMMENT -->} & comment \\
5.1678 + {\tt <!-- INSERT PAGES-->} & content of map \\
5.1679 + \end{tabular}
5.1680 + \end{center}
5.1681 + The content itself is generated in a similar way by inserting lists
5.1682 + into {\tt page-template}. Here the following substitutions are made:
5.1683 + \begin{center}
5.1684 + \begin{tabular}{lp{7cm}}
5.1685 + {\tt <!-- INSERT PAGE HEADING-->} & heading of a page
5.1686 + (mainbranch or child of mainbranch, depending on the use of
5.1687 + sections) \\
5.1688 + {\tt <!-- INSERT LIST --> } & all children of the branch above \\
5.1689 + \end{tabular}
5.1690 + \end{center}
5.1691 +\end{enumerate}
5.1692 +Currently images are exported and notes just will appear as text
5.1693 +without formatting and colours.
5.1694 +
5.1695 +
5.1696 +
5.1697 +
5.1698 +\subsubsection*{XSL Transformation}
5.1699 +\vym uses XSL transformations while exporting (e.g. XHTML) and importing
5.1700 +data (e.g. KDE bookmarks). There is a little code needed to provide the
5.1701 +GUI, the rest is done using the {\tt .xsl} stylesheet and calling the
5.1702 +{\tt xsltproc} processor, which is part of libxslt, the XSLT
5.1703 +C library for GNOME.

5.1714 -\subsection{Future}
5.1715 -There are lots of features which might find their way into \vym.
5.1716 -Together with \vym you should have received a directory with example
5.1717 -maps e.g. on SUSE~LINUX this is
5.1718 -\begin{center}
5.1719 - {\tt /usr/share/doc/packages/vym/demos}

5.1721 -where you find the map {\tt todo.vym}. It lists quite a lot of things to
5.1722 -be done in future. If you have more ideas, contact the author at
