Version 1.09 of PGF/TikZ added a library for drawing mindmaps. Here's an example from the manual.

Really good. The best technologies for powering LaTeX. I'm a new user of this extended language. When I tryed for fisrt time, I hope that LaTeX was so complicated for making a simple Didactic File, but at this time, I'm very satisfied on trying it. (sorry for my ugly english)
Is there any quiz that you can design for reading the "mindmap(s)".--Deatiled interpretation? Have done 4 yrs Java,Msoft common tests..can negotiate by email.only email
Hi, Thanks for this examples. I'm having a rendering problem with the Debian squeeze/sid package. If you download the PDF file for this example you'll see what I mean as this is exactly what I'm experiencing. Anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks, Oscar.
all humna being are equal be for the law
Hi,
this example is great - thanks a lot!
However, is there a way to slightly change the size of the resulting output? I am using "beamer" and the plot i have generated is just a little bit bigger than the slide. Can one "scale" it down?
Thanks.
@Oscar Morante: Try to use ps2latex+ps2pdf for good results. Using pdflatex seems to be responsible for those rendering errors.
