Hello
Introduction:
I would like to inform the TopicMaps community about a SW project
called ThinkGraph (www.thinkgraph.com). I develop this application
on my free time (I started it 2 years ago, first french public version
was released 8 jan 03, today is first english version).
Purpose:
ThinkGraph is a mix between a MindMapping appplication
(structured display of informations) and a 2D drawing application (free =
drawing).
SVG + XTM:
ThinkGraph document is a SVG + XTM composite: XTM
is used for the data model (a Topics Tree) and SVG for the=20
representation (graphic attributes and geometry of Topics).
The generated file is a .SVG (which is thus easily viewed by any SVG =
viewer
like Adobe SVGViewer, an Internet Explorer plugin) which
contains a topicmap model inside a <metadata> tag.
I wanted only standard XML (and not a "custom" or
"candidate for standard" XML) thats why I selected XTM (W3C) and XTM =
(ISO).
It is important to notice that ThinkGraph generates SVG but it is not
a SVG editor, it is meant to edit only SVG that is has generated.
User Interface:
ThinkGraph embeds Microsoft Internet Explorer for easy navigation
among Links that may be associated to Topics. Another
feature of IE integration is to record bookmarks
in Topics thus extending the Bookmarks concept
Best Regards
Michel Kern
