ThinkGraph is a
2D Drawing
application specialized for
Concept Maps authoring.
A concept map is a diagram meant to represent
Ideas (each idea being represented by a shape
(i.e rectangle, ellipse, image, ...).
This diagram becomes a concept map when
relations link these ideas and
Hypertext Links are added to these ideas which allows
navigation to other either a detailed description
(e.g a web page providing details on this idea)
or an other concept map.
ThinkGraph is a mix between a
2D Drawing application
and a Concept Map editor.

Most drawing applications and concept map editors
use a proprietary format for the documents
that they generate. ThinkGraph generates
a pure XML document which means that the document
is independent from ThinkGraph and may be
viewed or modified later by other applications.
ThinkGraph uses only standard XML:
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics,
a XML language specialized for 2D drawing) is used
for the presentation part (shape and graphical attributes
of the ideas)
while XTM (Xml Topic Maps)
is used for the data part (relations between ideas, e.g
parent-child relations).
Documents generated by ThinkGraph may be
visualized by any SVG application, the
most straightforward being
Adobe SVG Viewer
which is a plugin for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Once Internet Explorer is extended with SVG Viewer, you
can open any SVG document with Internet Explorer.
