A kind of MindMap?

Hi,

Is there a way to use some kind of mindmap in Logos Bible, even if we "hijack" an application present in this software?

Idea The advantage of doing this in Logos is that you have access to the biblical text by passing the mouse over the biblical reference, etc.

Thanks a lot!

Not really. Or I should say it depends on how you use it. You could paint a mindmap-looking picture in Canvas, that's possibly close to using a mindmap on paper. Maybe that's what you intend - a blank sheet and the ability to draw, in different colors. Then: yes.

My answer comes from that Canvas would not bring the things that one usually associates with using a mindmapping software, like moving branches around, decreasing details to see "the whole" and zooming in into detail level at an interesting spot.

Imperfect hacks are to use either Canvas or Sentence Diagrammer but these are not really adequate hacks. A Mind Mapping type tool has long been requested, much longer than Dark Mode, it goes as far back as pre-forums days to the old Logos Newsgroups with MJ being a strong supporter in that distant past.

Making a MindMap with Canvas is DIY, and it wastes a lot of time. I never use it. It's a useless tool for me.
But thanks [Y] for pointing it out. This allows us to close a door ...

Thank you for your answer! [Y]

Canvas or Sentence Diagrammer, it requires a lot of manipulation, and the bible text does not appear in windowed to the passage of the mouse, if one adds a simple biblical reference (thus not by using the function "Insert Passage" which inserts all the text of the passage - which takes up a lot of space).

Ok, so... No, we can't.

... And, no, I don't go to the dark side either... [:D]

Thanks for remembering and, no, I haven't given up -- just at the moment I find a decent sentence diagrammer a more critical need.

Ok, so currently my solution is to use the Sermon Builder tool. I create a resource document which contains the theme, the sub-points, the biblical references, already some notes in these sub-points, etc. Each sub-point will then become a sermon later.

Canvas needs a lot of love - it has the POTENTIAL to be a great tool. It's a shame that there has been no development to it. Even the drawio that it is based on is now much better!

There is POTENTIAL, we quite agree.
