CharTr is an artistical application created just for the fun of programming. It's a fork of labyrinth 0.3. Inspiration sources are vym and vim. But apart from beeing artistic, it tries to give an answer to the problem of mind mapping, and aims to usability.
Quoting wikipedia :
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.
Prerequisites are python, pygtk (user interface), cairo (rendering), gstreamer (audio notes), python-plastex (math equations), and numpy.
