mindmaps-2-tex-converter

This python code takes as input a mindmap and converts it either into a nice Latexed list or into beamer slides.

To create mindmaps I can recommend free mind : project page and download

Usage: download files. Then open python interpreter e.g. ipython and type

from texcreator import *

convert_mm_2_beamer('/path/to/MindMap.mm','/path/to/beamer.tex')

convert_mm_2_tex('/path/to/MindMap.mm','/path/to/list.tex')

On UNIX systems texcreator can be used as stand-alone (map to list only). Run once:

chmod +x texcreator.py

And now invoce with:

./texcreator.py /path/to/MindMap.mm /path/to/list.tex

afterwards create pdf from latex file in command line as follows:

pdflatex /path/to/latex_file.tex

Enjoy!

mindmaps-2-tex-converter's Issues

I want to be the author

The author of each list seems to always be Maja Rudolph

Crashing with this toy example

My simple example does not work!
