PyPlane
PyPlane is a small Python library and desktop editor for Freeplane-compatible
mind maps. The object model and .mm reader have no third-party dependencies;
the optional desktop application uses PySide6.
Install
python -m pip install pyplane-mindmap
python -m pip install 'pyplane-mindmap[ui]' # include the desktop editor
Python 3.10 or newer is required. Start the editor with pyplane.
Use from Python
import pyplane
mindmap = pyplane.MindMap("Project")
backend = mindmap.root.add_child("Backend", side="right")
backend.add_child("Database", note="Choose storage")
mindmap.root.add_child("Research", side="left", link="https://example.com")
mindmap.save("project.mm")
loaded = pyplane.load("project.mm")
for node in loaded.walk():
print(node.text)
NodeStyle supports a deliberately small presentation set: foreground and
background colors, bold, italic, font size, shape, and basic edge styling.
Unknown Freeplane XML attached to surviving nodes is retained when a map is
loaded, edited, and saved.
