the first field ("Filter"), allows to filter properties of an idea, with
the following choices:

To connect 2 topics, you must create a line by putting the mouse pointer
on the middle of one of the 4 sides of target start topic, then
click to create first point and do the same for 2nd point.
- It is also possible to choose line Style for the connector:
select a line connecting 2 topics then right click and "Properties..."
in order to select line style among: Direct, Rectilinear, Spline

|
|
|
|
Version 0.2.56 (7th march 04):
|
- Fullscreen Mode (View/FullScreen menu or F11) for
slide shows. To exit the fullscreen mode, use Esc or F11 key
- Inclusion of an Image Library provided by
Jean Luc Deladrière of Pétillant team (images are located
in "images" subdirectory of Thinkgraph directory)

- Fix of generated Javascript which allows to access the note associated
to a topic when the document is viewed in a SVG viewer (e.g
Internet Explorer + Adobe SVGViewer)
- Fix of bug when reading float values from the document's file
(e.g: zoom value). This error happened when a document saved in
a given country (eg: U.S) was read in a country with a different
separator for decimal part (e.g "," instead of ".")
|
|
Version 0.2.55 (18th feb 04):
|
- Support of multiline titles (use SHIFT + Return
to insert a newline)
- Stylesheet
- Styles are now within a Tree with Treemap layout
, this fixes display bugs (when an icon is
defined on a style) and will ease the
adding of custom styles in the future.
- File format modification (because of previous point):
when opening a file, Thinkgraph detects if this file
has the previous format
(styles not within a tree) and automatically
saves to the new format.
Caution previous file format will not be supported
from version 0.2.57 and after. You have to open all the
files with previous format so that
Thinkgraph saves them to the new format.
|
|
Version 0.2.54 (24th jan 04):
|
- Topicmap
- Support of bitmap icons in the topicmap. To choose
a bitmap for a topic, open properties dialog box
(select a topic then click with right mouse button) then use
the field "Image File"
- When a topic has only one child, it is now connected to its parent
by an horizontal line
- Protection against branch duplication now also applies
to the copy
- In Treemap layout:
Automatic redraw of the diagram after insertion of a topic
- Repositionning of the topicmap's topics
- Also supported in "Vertical Tree" layout
- If a topic of second level or deeper is moved on the opposite
side from its original position, the connector adapts
to allow a "star" layout of topics around their parent
- Ergonomy
- Style can be changed by a combo list in the "graphic attributes" toolbar
(horizontal toolbar at the bottom of Thinkgraph window).
This allows to modify in one shot the style of many topics
(thanks to multiple selection)
- Resolution of conflict between 2 interactions with right mouse button:
- "Display contextual menu" (right mouse click)
- and
- "Reorganize a topic" (right mouse click then drag and drop)
Solution: display of contextual menu is now triggered
when right mouse button is released
- New keyboard shortcut: CTRL A (select all) and
"Select All" command in Edit menu
- New position of "expand/collapse" handle when zoom
is lesser than 400% to avoid that it seems separated from the topic
- No more asks if user wants to save when a link to another document
is opened and the current document has not changed
- Disabling of "automatic zoom fit" when topics are inserted
- Topic preselection (when a topic is under the mouse cursor):
- Preselected topic is filled in white
- Display of topic's title (and link if applicable)
in the statusbar (left bottom corner of Thinkgraph window)
- Esc key cancels the current selection
- Optimization of bitmap images: bitmaps are stored in
a catalog in memory in order to avoid to read
the bitmap from file each time it must be displayed
- It is now possible to define document's author (File/Properties menu)
- Export As Image map (File/Export As... menu)
- A comment "Generated by Thinkgraph" is inserted in generated html
- If document's author is defined (see previous point), it will be inserted in
generated html
- Fix of "image links broken" when html file (and bitmap file) are
published on the web:
bitmap file referenced by html file is now a relative path
(eg: document01.png), before it was an absolute path (ex: c:\thinkgraph\document01.png)
- Xml Topic Maps data model
- Syntax fix for attributes stored as occurrences: resourceData tag
is now at the right place. This should allow to read Thinkgraph documents
(after export as XTM) in XTM applications like Omnigator
- Fixes
- Fix of error 375 when properties dialog box is closed with
close button (upper right corner)
- Fix of crash when a item from MRU (Most Recently Used) file list
(in File menu) references a file which has been deleted
- Fix of syntax bug in generated SVG when style="branches"
and linestyle="bezier"
|
|
Version 0.2.52 (15 dec 03):
|
- Support of file association (.SVG files with Thinkgraph)
- Topicmap
- Free positionning of a topic
- It is now possible to choose a topic's position
by means of the left mouse button
(reordering/reparenting of topics is now
performed by means of the right mouse button)
- Also possible to restore initial topic's position
after moving it (File menu then Edit/Reset Topic position).
Also works if many topics are selected (multiple
selection is performed by means of SHIFT key or
by means of a rubber banding trap which is started by
a left mouse click then drag mouse without releasing
the left mouse button then release)
- Fix of "jump" when a moved topic is selected
- Topicmap layout
- With topicmap layout, 1st level edges now
start from the center of root topic
- When moving a topic from right to left of root
(or reverse), children topics are now on the good
side
- Fix of unwanted edge selection when trying to
select the root topic
- Ergonomy and Functionnalities
- Important ! in order to reorder/reparent topics
it is now performed by means of the right mouse button
(this is a consequence of using left mouse button
to move topics), it is in fact more consistent
with WIndows ergonomy because reordering/reparenting
uses a drag and drop mechanism.
- Link to a Thinkgraph document (when "Address" field
of topic's properties is a SVG file): recognition
of file content to discriminate between "Thinkgraph SVG"
(opened in drawing area) and "normal SVG" (opened
in embedded Internet explorer/SVG Viewer)
- Choice of 3 fonts: Arial, Courier, Times New Roman
- New keyboard shortcut +/- to expand/collapse children topics
(when mouse cursor is over a parent topic)
- New position of expand/collapse handle
in order to ease topic moves
in "branches" topicmap style
and avoid that this handle hides the topic's title
when topics are small (large zoom out or
many ideas and zoom fit)
- New position of selection handles
in "Lines" topicmap style
so that they are now aligned with the topic
- Fixes
- Fix of bug which added ".svg" at the end of a filename
already ending with ".svg"
(eg: documnt01.svg.svg)
- No more asks if user wants to save when closing
or exiting default document without modification
- If modifications are not saved, a dialog box allows
to save when exiting or opening another file
- Fix of CTRL +/- (zoom +/- keyboard shortcut):
now works when used many times in a row
- Topic duplication created a disconnected topic
with a bad side effect (deletion of initial
topic and its children when deleting its clone).
Now topic duplication displays a dialog box
which explains that is is not supported in topicmap
- Topicmap import (File/Import of a XTM file):
now correctly manages XTM trees modelized
with instanceOf tag
- When Exporting As Bitmap / Image Map (File/Expor As...),
resize and expand/collapse handles
are not displayed
|
|
Version 0.2.47 (10 nov 03):
|
- Fix of Toolbars Tooltips
- "Colored Branches" in the topicmap: by enabling
the "Same Colors for Children" option, the
fill and draw colors are propagated to children entities,
this allows to get a branch (and its sub branches)
with all the entities sahring the same colors.
- "Same Colors for Children" option enabled
by default on the root
- First level children are colored
with a predefined palette
- Keyboard Shortcuts:
- CTRL-O: File->Open...
- CTRL-S: File->Save
- CTRL-P: File->Print
- Scale change for bitmaps:
smaller bitmaps so that they are more
often at scale 1 or less (shrinking)
because before they were too often
enlarged (pixellization)
- Support of transparent bitmaps
- Better precision for selection of
"collapse/expand" button on the top left
corner of parent entities
- Warning when saving a document which
already exists
- Choice of "Level of Detail" in the topicmap:
it's a value between 0 and 5, 0 shows only the root,
5 shows all levels (included those beyond 5).
There is also +/- buttons in the top horizontal toolbar
to show more/less levels.
- New Zoom scale (1600%) and Zoom buttons
(Zoom In Zoom Out) are now around
the Zoom combo to be consistent
with "Level of Detail" combo and buttons.
- Fix of crash which occurs sometimes when saving first time

- Better display of expand/collapse and note handles
- Handles are hidden when document is printed.
- Topic Style is deleted (eg Style="No Style")
when the user changes a graphic attribute
of a node in the topicmap,
this allows easier redefinition
of isolated entities.
