Draw relations¶
Draw a relation¶
- Right-click a node and choose Draw Relation.
- Choose a type, then click the target node. In the right sidebar, you can use Add Relation, pick a type, and use Choose Target Node. You can connect nodes on different maps.
The six relation types¶
There are six relation types. Choose one when you use Draw Relation or Change Type. - Cause → Effect: directional (arrow). Shows a sequence or connection. - Example: points to an example. - Supports / Similar: shows support or similarity. - Conflict / Trade-off: shows a clash, or a trade-off where choosing one makes the other harder. - Related: shows a connection. - Parent–child: directional. Links a parent and child on different maps. Spin Off draws it automatically, and Restore to Original Map uses it.
The colors for each type appear under the relation types in the left sidebar.
