Scripts collection

The first version of this Scripting article mainly consists/consisted of a port of the FreeMind script collection. Some of those scripts got a general rewrite; - especially those that were marked buggy or even broken. But I took the freedom to improve every script where it made sense. With one exception ("Sum up all subnodes...", a very long script) I have ported all scripts from the FreeMind page, regardless of how useful I found them since I believe that you will be able to learn from all of them.

Unfortunately scripts might get old over time, i.e. when scripting idioms evolve over time old scripts should be upgraded. If you find such scripts do a post in the forum.

More examples

• Scripts for text editing have been hived off to a separate page
• Scripts that use external libraries have their separate page, too.

Feel free to add your own scripts to these and this page. If you give script a name using wiki text like

<groovy name="yourScriptName">
 your script
</groovy>

an extra download button is created for it, and it can be downloaded directly from this page.

For larger scripts there is a special git repository [1].

A node with the last modification date of the map

This script sets the text of the status bar to the last modification timestamp of the whole map.

<groovy name="lastModificationDate"> // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) // find all nodes, collect their lastModifiedAt date and get the latest def lastModifiedAt = c.find{true}.collect{it.lastModifiedAt}.max() def f = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss") c.statusInfo = "The map was last modified at: " + f.format(lastModifiedAt) </groovy>

Prepend the modified date at the beginning of the node text

This is a port of the respective script on the FreemindPage. Note that node.lastModifiedAt requires Freeplane 1.0.40 or later

<groovy> =new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("M/d/yyyy").format(node.lastModifiedAt) +

   " " + node.text

// @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) </groovy>

Add up attribute values of subnodes.

This script adds up the "AMOUNT" attributes of all child nodes of a node and sets the "AMOUNT" attribute of the selected node to the sum.

<groovy name="sumAttributeValues"> import java.text.NumberFormat;

// global binding attrib = "AMOUNT"

def get(node) {

   def text = node.getAttributes().get(attrib)
   if (text != null && text.isDouble())
       return text.toDouble()
   return 0

} node.getAttributes().set(attrib, NumberFormat.getInstance().format(node.children.sum{get(it)})) // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) </groovy>

With Freeplane 1.2 series and above this script boils down to two lines: <groovy name="sumAttributeValues"> node['VALUE'] = java.text.NumberFormat.getInstance().format(children.sum{it['VALUE'].num0}) // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) </groovy>

The following script does the same but recursively, i.e. called for the root node it updates the complete map so that each parent node has the "AMOUNT" attribute set to the sum of all children, grandchildren and so on.

<groovy name="sumAttributeValuesRecursively"> import java.text.NumberFormat;

// global binding attrib = "AMOUNT"

def get(node) {

   def text = node.getAttributes().get(attrib)
   if (text != null && text.isDouble())
       return text.toDouble()
   return 0

}

def set(node, amount) {

   node.getAttributes().set(attrib, NumberFormat.getInstance().format(amount))

}

def setAndReturnSum(node) {

   if (node.isLeaf()) {
       return get(node)
   }
   else {
       def total = node.children.sum{ setAndReturnSum(it) }
       set(node, total)
       return total
   }

}

setAndReturnSum(node) // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) </groovy>

Sort child nodes alphabetically or by length

<groovy name="sortChildren"> def sorted = new ArrayList(node.children).sort{ it.text } def i = 0 sorted.each {

   it.moveTo(node, i++)

} // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE, ON_SELECTED_NODE_RECURSIVELY}) </groovy>

To sort by length: Change "it.text" to "it.text.length()".

To reverse either of these sorts: Add a minus sign before "it", i.e. "-it.text.length()".

Author: User:Boercher

Sort attributes by name

The following script may be adjusted by changing the variable caseInsensitive or the body of the comparator.

<groovy name="sortAttributes"> // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) def caseInsensitive = true def comparator = {

   def string = it[0]
   if (caseInsensitive)
       string.toLowerCase()
   else
       string

} def nodeAttributes = node.attributes

// save original attributes def attribs = [] nodeAttributes.names.eachWithIndex { name, i ->

   attribs.add([name, nodeAttributes.get(i)])

}

// replace attributes nodeAttributes.clear() attribs.sort(comparator).each { k, v ->

   nodeAttributes.add(k, v)

} </groovy>

Sort attributes by value

The following script is similar and may also be adjusted by changing the variable caseInsensitive or the body of the comparator.

<groovy name="sortAttributesByValue"> // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE}) def caseInsensitive = true def comparator = {

   def string = it[1] == null ?  : it[1].toString()
   if (caseInsensitive)
       string.toLowerCase()
   else
       string

} def nodeAttributes = node.attributes

// save original attributes def attribs = [] nodeAttributes.names.eachWithIndex { name, i ->

   attribs.add([name, nodeAttributes.get(i)])

}

// replace attributes nodeAttributes.clear() attribs.sort(comparator).each { k, v ->

   nodeAttributes.add(k, v)

} </groovy>

Set up a logger

The following code makes use of the application logger provided by LogTool. Note that name and package of this class has changed since version 1.2.

<groovy> import org.freeplane.core.util.LogTool; LogTool.info(" ******* Logger set up for script"); </groovy> In Freeplane 1.2 this simply reads (no import, no static access): <groovy> logger.info(" ******* Logger in 1.2"); </groovy>

Export to BibTeX

A working script for creating BibTeX files from a special formatted mindmap. A BibTeX node has an attribute "bibtex" with the kind of article as value (e.g. "article", "note"). Bibtex entry properties are given as attributes as well. Unfortunately it's currently not possible to write the attribute names other than in lower case.

The resulting BibTeX file is shown in a popup window that supports scrolling and cut 'n paste.

Tested with Freeplane 1.1 and 1.2.

<groovy name="exportToBiBTeX"> import javax.swing.*;

// for cut 'n paste: def showDialog(String text) {

   def dialog = new JDialog(ui.frame)
   dialog.setSize(350, 450)
   dialog.setLocationRelativeTo(ui.frame)
   dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE)
   dialog.add(new JScrollPane(new JTextArea(text)))
   ui.addEscapeActionToDialog(dialog)
   dialog.visible = true

}

def processAttribute(attr, attr_name) {

   return (attr.findAttribute(attr_name) != -1) ?
       attr_name + " = \"" + attr.get(attr_name) + "\"" :
       null

}

def process(type, attr, index) {

       'organization', 'pages', 'publisher', 'school', 'series', 'title', 'type',
       'volume', 'year']
   // note for Freeplane version < 1.2: there's no getAttributeNames() yet so
   //  - we can not iterate over *existing* attributes
   //  - we can not match case insensitive
   // -> should be fixed ASAP
   def tags = all_tags.collect{ processAttribute(attr, it) }
   // compact: erase nulls
   return "@" + type + "{${index.toString()}, \n  " +
       tags.grep{ it }.join(",\n  ") +
       '\n}\n\n'

}

index = 1; // merge everything into one string def result = node.find{ true }.sum {

   def attr = it.attributes;
   // valid values would be: article, book, booklet, conference, inbook,
   // incollection, inproceedings, manual, mastersthesis, misc, phdthesis,

Export Node children as table for latex import

Simple script to export node children organised as two column tabular environment in latex. First Column is filled by child text, second column by latex equation attached to each. I assume you use \import command like:

\begin{table}[H] \input{filename.tex} \end{table}

Requires Freeplane 1.2.

<groovy name="node2LatexTable"> // @ExecutionModes({ON_SINGLE_NODE})

// we can't use LatexExtension.class directly since the class is not public

def buildLatexRow(node,latexExtension){ def result = node.text result = result + " & " + "\$" + latexExtension.equation + "\$" + "\\\\" return result } def findLatexExtension(node) { def result = null node.delegate.extensions.values().each{ if (it.getClass().simpleName == 'LatexExtension') result = it } return result }

def fos= new FileWriter(node.text+'.tex') fos.write("\\begin{tabular}{ll}\n") fos.write("\\hline\n") node.children.each {fos.write(buildLatexRow(it,findLatexExtension(it))+"\n")} fos.write("\\hline\n") fos.write("\\end{tabular}") fos.close() </groovy>

Output A Map to CSV

For export to a spreadsheet for inclusion in a larger project plan. The following script creates CSV output from a mindmap and shows it in a dialog window for cut 'n paste. <groovy name="exportToCSV"> import javax.swing.*;

Output A Map to CSV Part 2

The second iteration of the export to CSV script allows different item types to be denoted by icons (here the number icons ("1", "2", ...) which then get mapped to attribute values. That way I can do things like estimate the complexity of a task by adding a number icon and then have that mapped to text like "Very Complex" in my CSV file. Here is the code:

<groovy name="exportToCSV_2"> class TreeWalker {

   def rootNode;
   def minFontSize;

   private attributeMappings = [:]
   private attributeNames = []

   def visit(thisNode, childPosition) {
       def attributes = [:]
       def nodeName = htmlUtils.htmlToPlain(thisNode.getPlainTextContent())
       def nodeLevel = thisNode.getNodeLevel(true)
       thisNode.icons.icons.each { iconName ->
           if (iconMappings[iconName]) {
               def attributeName = iconMappings[iconName]
               def attributeValue = attributeMappings[attributeName][iconName]
               attributes[attributeName] = attributeValue
           }
       }
       def attributeString = ""
       attributeNames.each {

               nodeType = "Widget"
           } else {
               nodeType = "Heading"
           }
       }

       println "$nodeType,$nodeLevel,$childPosition$attributeString,\"$nodeName\""
       def i = 0
       if (thisNode.children) {

               i++
               visit(it, i)
           }
       }
   }

   def walk() {

Daves massivly cheezy Api Generator

If you are lazy (like me) and don't wan't to look through the source code to find the api for the node and c variables, use this to make a somewhat cheezy mindmap/api.

Note: An extended version of this script is part of the Freeplane standard installation.

Simple bookmark implementation using scripts

This is a rudimentary implementation of bookmarks. If set up as described below you can use a self chosen key combination to memorize the currently selected node and return to it at any later time using another key combination. A third key combination takes you to the subtree containing the recently stored bookmark and allows you to rename it. This is the basis of managing and accessing multiple named bookmarks.

Step 1: put these three scripts in your ~/.freeplane/scripts directory (or whereever you tell freeplane to look for groovy scripts)

<groovy name="setBookmark"> // @CacheScriptContent(true) def bookmarksNode if((dummyList = c.find{ it.text.equals("Bookmarks")}).isEmpty()) {

   (bookmarksNode = node.getMap().getRootNode().createChild()).setText("Bookmarks")

} else {

   bookmarksNode=dummyList.get(0)

}

if((dummyList = bookmarksNode.find{ it.text.equals("recent")}).isEmpty()) {

   (recentBookmarkNode = bookmarksNode.createChild()).setText("recent")

} else {

   recentBookmarkNode=dummyList.get(0)

}

recentBookmarkNode.getLink().set("#"+c.getSelected().getNodeID()) </groovy>

<groovy name="gotoRecentBookmark"> // @CacheScriptContent(true) def dummyList1 def dummyList2 if(!(dummyList1 = c.find{ it.text.equals("Bookmarks")}).isEmpty()) { if(!(dummyList2 = dummyList1.get(0).find{ it.text.equals("recent")}).isEmpty()) { if((linkString=dummyList2.get(0).getLink().get())!=null){ c.select(node.getMap().node(linkString.substring(1))) } } } </groovy>

<groovy name="gotoBookmarks"> // @CacheScriptContent(true) def dummyList1 def dummyList2 if(!(dummyList1 = c.find{ it.text.equals("Bookmarks")}).isEmpty()) { if(!(dummyList2=dummyList1.get(0).getChildren()).isEmpty()){ c.select(dummyList2.get(0)) } } </groovy>

Step 2: (Re)start freeplane. Choose menu Tools/Scripts/SetBookmark and Ctrl-click on "Execute SetBookmark on one selected node". You are asked to choose a new shortcut key (combination). Do similar for the gotoRecentBookmark.groovy and gotoBookmarks.groovy scripts. Voilà.

Once setBookmark.groovy is executed, a child node named "Bookmark" will be added to the map root node. In the beginning it has one child named "recent". The latter has a local hyperlink pointing to the currently selected node. Executing gotoRecentBookmark.groovy simply follows this link. Everytime you execute setBookmark.groovy this link will be overwritten. You can rename the "recent" node to conserve the link. This is the basis of managing multiple bookmarks. For convenience, executing gotoBookmarks.groovy will take you to the first child of the "Bookmarks" node to quickly access your "Bookmark manager" subtree. From here you can manually follow the links as usual, pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' or klicking the arrow icon. Please feel free to improve the scripts and post improvements here!

Create a map with Firefox bookmarks

This script asks for a Firefox bookmarks-<date>.json file and presents its content as a new mindmap. Requires at least Freeplane 1.2.7

Find all connected nodes

This script will find all nodes below the current node that have connections and list them under a new node created to hold the results called "connected nodes". I found this extremely useful when I have multiple connections reaching across subtrees in a large map. <groovy name="listConnectedNodes"> // @ExecutionModes({ON_SELECTED_NODE})

def resultNode = node.createChild("Connected Nodes") resultNode.style.backgroundColorCode = '#FFFF00' resultNode.link.node = node node.findAll().each {

   it.connectorsOut.each {
       def target = it.target
       def child = resultNode.createChild("${it.source.text} --> ${target.text}")
       child.link.setNode(target)
   }

Find changed nodes

This script was suggested by Tobias Brown.

Pomodoro Timer

To encourage focusing on doing concrete tasks, and accumulate Pomodoro credits, this script provides a Pomodoro timer against a node in mind-map. When the time reaches the break time, plays sound of applause for encouragement, and when the time is up, add the time Pomodoro time credit to the current node's attribute with the name of 'Pomodoro', and add to the root node's attribute with name of today's date.

Need to customize the path to the audio file "APPLAUSE.WAV" in function playSound.

Kill Empty Nodes

When pasting text from clipboard, Freeplane would split the content by newline, thus it may produce some empty node without text at all for those multiple newlines. This script removes all those empty nodes.

You can execute the script at an empty node, or at a node and recursively for its sub-nodes.

<groovy name="KillEmptyNode">

/*	Test the current node if it's empty, and it does not have any sub-nodes, 
 	then delete it.

The node is empty, if it has no non-blank text.*/

def killEmptyNode (aNode){

 nonEmpty = /\w+/
 nodeText = aNode.getPlainText()
 // println nodeText
 if ((aNode.children.size () <= 0) &
     !(nodeText =~ nonEmpty)) {
   // println "Found an empty node!"
   aNode.delete()

} }

killEmptyNode (node) </groovy>
