.SH "NAME"
freemind \(em A Java program for creating and viewing mindmaps.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBfreemind\fR [no_options]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This manual page documents briefly the
\fBfreemind\fR command.
.PP
This manual page was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
Instead, it has documentation as a mindmap (see Help menu in
FreeMind).
.PP
\fBfreemind\fR is a program that allows to create
and view so-called mindmaps, as well as export them to HTML or different
image formats.
It also has a plugin concept to extend its functionality.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
This program does not have any option. Just start it!
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.IP "\fBDEBUG\fP " 10
If this environment variable is set, freemind gives more
information on how it finds its different elements, as well as some
other information.
.IP "\fBJAVACMD\fP " 10
Default value for the java virtual machine (the java command).
.IP "\fBJAVA_BINDIR\fP " 10
If $JAVACMD is not set, the java virtual machine is searched
under $JAVA_BINDIR/java.
.IP "\fBJAVA_HOME\fP " 10
If $JAVACMD and $JAVA_BINDIR are not set, the java virtual
machine is searched under $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.
.IP "\fBPATH\fP " 10
If all $JAVA... environment variables fail, the java virtual
machine command (java) is searched in the $PATH (with which).
.IP "\fBCLASSPATH\fP \fBADD_JARS\fP " 10
The $CLASSPATH variable also lets one specify additional jars,
which is good, if you want to add a new Look&Feel jar (the motif
one is so ugly...). Alternatively, the content of $ADD_JARS will
be prepended to $CLASSPATH.
.IP "\fBFREEMIND_BASE_DIR\fP " 10
Directory where FreeMind searches for its plugins and
libraries
.SH "FILES"
.IP "\fB/etc/freemind/freemindrc\fP \fB~/.freemind/freemindrc\fP " 10
freemind tries to read its environment variables from
/etc/freemind/freemindrc and ~/.freemind/freemindrc,
so that specific settings are possible at machine and user level.
.IP "\fB/usr/bin/java\fP " 10
If all searches through environment variables fail, the
java virtual machine is expected to be /usr/bin/java; if not,
freemind exits with an error.
