A collection of scripts that might need a review before adding them to the "official" [Scripts collection](../scripting/Scripts_collection .md).

Feel free to add your own scripts to this page. If you give script a name using wiki text like

<syntaxhighlight lang="Groovy" name="yourScriptName"> your script </syntaxhighlight>

an extra download button is created for it, and it can be downloaded directly from this page.

Pair of scripts to increase/decrease the node-width (can be used with shortcuts!)

Since freeplane 1.5.x we can adjust the node-width with ALT+mouse-wheel, but there is currently no way to make it with keyboard shortcuts.

So these scripts aim at increasing/decreasing the node-width (the same way that ALT-mout-wheel would do), but by being scripts they will have a menu entry in "Tools/Scripts/Node Width_Increase" and "Tools/Scripts/Node Width_Decrease", making possible to create a shortcut to these menu entries, and so, to adjust the node-width with keyboard shortcuts.

How to install the scripts

  1. Download the 2 scripts from https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Script_incubator and put them inside the directory "/scripts" (you can open "" clicking in "Tools/Open user directory")
  2. Restart Freeplane - Verify that the 2 new scripts appear in these 2 new menu-entries "Tools/Scripts/Node Width_Increase" and "Tools/Scripts/Node Width_Decrease"
  3. optional Assign a shortcut-key to each of the 2 menu-entries (hold CTRL while clicking a menu-entry)

Hope it helps :)

Scripts to save/restore the folding of the current map, with 2 restore-points

Trying to help out with this request, to save different folding states [- see the thread for more info

[1] https://sourceforge.net/p/freeplane/discussion/758437/thread/10318019/?limit=25#879e

Use the save script to save the current folding of the map, and then later use the restore script to restore the saved-folding.

The folding-states are saved into the maps (.mm) file, and so are persistent across map loading. That is: you can save a folding state today, and next week when you open the same map restore the folding state

There are 2 pairs of files - save/restore_S0 and save/restore_S1 - that enable 2 restore-points.

If you need more restore points, then create more pairs of files (save/restore_S2, save/restore_S3, ...) where you will only need to change the last 2 lines of code save_restore_closure(...,"S9")

How to install the scripts

  1. Download the scripts from https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Script_incubator and put them inside the directory "/scripts" (you can open "" clicking in "Tools/Open user directory")
  2. Restart Freeplane - Verify that the new scripts appear inside menu "Tools/Scripts"
  3. optional Assign a shortcut-key to each of the scripts new menu-entries (hold CTRL while clicking a menu-entry)

Hope it helps :)

Helper methods to manipulate html-formatted text

In this forum thread, Alexandre shares groovy methods that help to manipulate an html-formatted text.

Copy/paste them into your groovy scripts, and enjoy.

Show your love and appreciation in the forum thread :)

:::: So use ReplaceWithFormat to replace text in the html and you can use FindWithFormat to search the html. FindWithFormat allows to use for example the caret (^) for the beginning of string which is not possible when there is the html header tags...I use it to check if some string exists at the beginning of a node. ReplaceWithFormat allows also to use the caret char to replace at the beginning of a string, which I use to insert text at the beginning of a node. I am not sure if it works for appending at the end ($) I didn't test for that as I don't need it for now. :::: :::: Thanks, :::: :::: Alexandre

def AddHtmlTags(text) { return '<html><head><body><p>' + text + '</p></body></head></html>' }

def RemoveHtmlTags(text) {
    def strippedText = text.replaceAll('<(html|head|body|p)>', '')
    strippedText = strippedText.replaceAll('</(html|head|body|p)>', '')
    strippedText = strippedText.replaceAll('\n', '')
    strippedText = strippedText.replaceAll('^\\s*', '')
    return strippedText
}

def ReplaceWithFormat(pNode, pattern, replacement) { 
    def strippedText = RemoveHtmlTags(pNode.text)
    def replacedText = strippedText.replaceAll(pattern, replacement)
    return AddHtmlTags(replacedText)
    }

def FindWithFormat(pNode, pattern) {
    def strippedText = RemoveHtmlTags(pNode.text)
    if (strippedText =~ /${pattern}/)
        return true
    else
        return false
}

How to call freeplane menu-items from groovy script

In this forum thread, Alexandre shares one possible way to call freeplane menu-items from groovy script, and a small function to make it easy to call them.

Latter Volker reminds there is already a more complete method: menuUtils.executeMenuItems() in the Freeplane Scritping API for calling menu items. To find out what is the menuItemKey of a menu item, there is a tool that ships with the Developer Tools Addon just for that.

Copy/paste them into your groovy scripts, and enjoy.

Show your love and appreciation in the forum thread :)

// In this example, 'SelectAllAction' is the <<menuItemKey>> corresponding to the Freeplane <<menu item>> clicable in "Navigate/Select all visible nodes". 
// This will select all nodes in the map.

menuUtils.executeMenuItems(['SelectAllAction'])
