In a previous article, "I want to recommend these three artifacts to you who wrote the paper!" In Amway, I gave you a mind mapping tool-the curtain. Although the curtain design is simple and easy to use, it also has some shortcomings, such as: unpaid users can't freely choose the structure of mind map, can't change the color of words, etc ... Recently, we tried a new mind map tool-Baidu Brain Map, which is an efficiency tool product launched by Baidu team.

After experiencing Baidu's brain map, I think its advantages are as follows:

Compared with the curtain used before, the most attractive thing about Baidu Brain Map is that you can drag a node and change its position at will, as shown below:

You are free to change the location of the node. What is the greatest use? I think it is, for those who use mind map to assist lectures or PPT presentations, it can better concentrate the attention of students or listeners, so that children's shoes playing mobile phones can clearly know the place of class. ...

If the first advantage of Baidu's brain is to give people a different visual experience, then the function of exporting to svg format can be said to be the gospel of some PPT producers and even designers.

Baidu Brain Map supports a variety of export formats, such as common PNG and txt, as shown in the following figure:

Although Baidu Brain Map supports exporting pictures in PNG format (that is, the background of the exported pictures is transparent), after actually using Baidu Brain Map, it is found that the exported pictures in PNG format still have background, as shown in the following figure:

If you want to insert an exported picture in PNG format into PPT, the black grid background of the picture may make your mind map appear incongruous with the overall color matching style of PPT. ...

Fortunately, the designer of Baidu brain map provided another way to export the transparent background-first, export Baidu brain map to svg format (svg is the format of vector map, and the most prominent feature of this format is that it will not be blurred when a large number of pictures are placed), and then open it in Adobe illustrator (Ai for short, a product of Photoshop company) and export it to PNG format.

In fact, in addition to using Ai to export pictures with transparent background, you can also directly drag the pictures opened in Ai to PPT, and ungroup them twice in PPT (the shortcut key is Ctrl+G), as shown below:

After two operations of the diagram group above, the mind map that was originally a whole can be split into several parts. How to play it in PPT after splitting it into multiple parts? The simplest point is that dong technology (hua) is as follows:

With the introduction of PPT into animation, all parts of the guide map can enter the screen one after another, instead of a lot of things at once. ...

Tell me, how can we play after separation?

Yes, mind map also supports inserting pictures, but on the screen, the function of inserting pictures can only be enjoyed by paying users, while in Baidu Brain Map, you can use this function at will. As the saying goes, words are not as good as tables, and tables are not as good as pictures. For things that can be clearly explained by pictures, don't use words ... In mind maps, sometimes inserting pictures can better assist what we want to express, so how to insert pictures? As shown in the figure below:

After inserting the picture, double-click the picture to enlarge it and press Esc to exit the picture preview.

At this point, compared with the curtain call, I think the three advantages of Baidu brain map have been finished. Everyone can choose a more suitable mind map according to their actual needs in work and study.

Thanks for watching, I hope it helps.
