They support one-tap switching and can be freely combined into multiple styles. • Personalization: You can create your own layouts and color schemes, presetting almost all formatting options such as growth direction, width, spacing, structure, shapes, and the color of each individual branch. • Freedom: You can set different layouts for two separate mind maps, or even different layouts for different branches to form a hybrid structure mind map to present your content. You can also set it to "Manual Layout" to flexibly place every single node.
