This file collects guidelines and aims of the FreeMind project to avoid possible conflicts.
Coding style
- Each class is imported on its own, no "import javax.swing.*" imports.
General
- FreeMind is a generic editor for tree-structured data and doesn't prefer any special kind of data.
- All code specific to any special kind of data is contained in a special Mode for that data.
View
- The data is represented as a Mind Map, as described by Tony Buzan.
- A modular design for the view may be implemented to make other views possible (JTree-like, top-down hierarchy etc.)
Controller
- Every command should be available both with the keyboard and the mouse.
***ToDo***
- Drag'n'drop style cutting and pasting. (by moving a square around)
- Named edges (edges with text).
