TiddlyMap is a graph drawing plugin developed for the single-page application TiddlyWiki. It allows you to connect your wiki topics (so called tiddlers) in order to display the resulting networks as clickable graphs. These graphs may be embedded in the overall wiki content at any point. TiddlyMap is not only capable of displaying explicitly created connections, but has the ability to automatically track and visualize existing relationships between articles such as links, backlinks and tag relationships. The browser based visualization library Vis.js is used as rendering engine.^[3]

Fields of application

By using TiddlyMap for creating relations between your topics you can easily do the following:

• Create concept maps and quickly manifest your ideas in tiddlers (wiki entries).
• Create task-dependency graphs to organize and describe your tasks.
• Visualize your topic structures to get an immediate grasp of topics and relations.

In general you may create, visualize and describe any network-structure you have in mind.

Features

The TiddlyMap user may define named filter rules, so called "views", in order to select and display subsets of wiki entries and their connections in a graph.

• Filters define what is displayed in each graph (as depicted in the image on the right).
• Graphs synchronize with the wiki content to reflect the current state.
• It is possible to embed existing graphs in the wiki at any point.
• Jumping to topics through clickable nodes.
• Visualization of the existing link and tag structures.
• Display related topics as graph next to each wiki entry ("live view").
• Discover topic neighbourhoods by changing the neighbourhood scope levels.
• Style and manage edge-types.
• Work full-screen or half-screen.
