How can I make a Mindmap with yEd (which Layout)?

Question

I have a lot of information put into yEd. Now I want to look like a Mindmap. I tried a lot of different automatic layouts but it doesn't work.

Do you have an advice for me?

Thanks a lot,

Mindmaps are usually trees, so "Layout" -> "Tree" would be one option. If your mindmap is no tree for some reason, try "Layout" -> "Hierarchical". In both cases, you want "Orientation" set to "Left To Right". See Tree (graph theory) for more information on trees.
