yEd vs Freeplane

Question

Hi! I'm looking to migrate from Freeplane to yEd

- Collapsing children of a node

- Search, filters

- Icons (and custom), image insertion, hyperlinks

- CSS-like properties of nodes and links. Auto format by level

- extensions, scripts, addons

- Clouds (to group nodes), custom connections (duplicate connection but with another label)

- Export/Import in common formats

- Node Details (collapsible, popup on mouse hover), Attributes, Notes

- Diagram auto layout, nodes alignment (i.e vertically by leftmost edge)

Answer 1

If you want to know wheter or not the listed features are available in yEd, then the answers are

• no
• yes, no
• yes, yes, yes
• no, no
• no, no, no
• yes, yes
• yes, yes
• yes, yes, yes
• yes, yes

yEd is not a mind mapping tool, but a general-purpose editor for network-like diagrams (i.e. graphs in the mathematical sense) and thus does not offer mindmap specific features.

Comments

Thanks.
Can you may be recall any *concept* mapping software similar to Freeplane?
