Adopt more of buzan's MindMap concepts
I would like to see more of Buzan's concepts adoped into PB. These would make the tool more efficient as an example:
- Create a toggle switch that can modify the look of the plex from linear to organic to radial (and points in between.
- Write the title of each child on the branch instead of at the end.
- Make the branch as long as it's title
- Make the plex more colorful. Buzan and research clearly show that color stimulate original thinking by using both hemispheres.
- In focus mode where you can choose a child branch and "bring it into focus". this means that branch comes to the center and only its children are shown.
- PB should allow us to embed an image at the end of a branch (not just a small icon). Sometimes this can convery an idea better than words
- there should be an insert image option that showcases included icons/images in a showcase instead of just being a browse type appraoch.
- In 5.5, you included a screen capture tool to use an onscreen object as an icon. I would like to see the opposite also where I can enable a feature, choose the branches I want and then copy that into memory in a clean/professional looking format that I can paste into work or a presentation.

And maybe we can have "Mind Map mode" where we can create a mind map without the location specific limitations of PB (parent, child, sibling, jump), with the above recommendations and then attach that to a throught in the plex.
Right now I have to use a MINDmap tool and PB. I would love to move to just 1 common tool.
