While targetted mostly at students, Kdissert can also help +teachers, decision maker, engineers and businessmen. + +Though this application shares some similarities with general-purpose +mindmapping tools like Freemind or Vym, the very first goal of Kdissert is +to create general-purpose documents, not mind-maps. + +The goal of Kdissert is to help to structure ideas and concepts. Ideas are +first layed down on a canvas and then associated into a tree. The tree is there +to help to see how the ideas interact, and then to develop them further (by +adding ramifications). + +An idea is represented by a shape which contains several a summary (visible +part), several text fields, and optional pictures and url links. + +A kdissert mind-map can be used to generate documents, or to create pictures. +The current generators are pdf documents (based on LaTeX : article, book), +pdf presentations (based on LaTeX : Beamer, Prosper), text processing +files (OpenOffice.org Writer), plain text and internet documents (html). + |
