I used this template, made some alterations and came up with following mind map:
The minimum working example (MWE) can be seen here:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix,paths.ortho,calc,paths.rectangle,positioning-plus,arrows.meta,shapes,positioning,shadows,trees,mindmap,backgrounds}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
\resizebox{0.8\textwidth}{!}{
\begin{tikzpicture}[mindmap,
level 1 concept/.append style={level distance=130,sibling angle=90},
extra concept/.append style={color=blue!50,text=black}]
\path[mindmap,concept color=black,text=white]
node[concept] {Something}
[clockwise from=0]
child[concept color=green!50!black] {
node[concept] (gov) {Something}
[clockwise from=0]
child { node[concept] (blub) {Something} }
child { node[concept] (bla) {Something} }
child { node[concept] (sep) {Something} }
[clockwise from=-90]
child { node[concept] (pau) {Something} }
}
child[concept color=blue] {
node[concept] (top) {Something}
}
child[concept color=red] {
node[concept] {Something}
[clockwise from=310]
child { node[concept] (cot) {Something} }
child { node[concept] (cont) {Something} }
}
child[concept color=orange] {
node[concept] (gen) {Something}
[clockwise from=-180]
child { node[concept] {Something} }
};
\begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
\draw [left color=blue, right color=green!50!black, draw=white, decorate,decoration=circle connection bar] (pau) -- (top);
\draw [left color=orange, right color=green!50!black, draw=white, decorate,decoration=circle connection bar] (gen) -- (gov);
\draw [left color=red, right color=blue, draw=white, decorate,decoration=circle connection bar] (cot) -- (top);
\draw [left color=red, right color=blue, draw=white, decorate,decoration=circle connection bar] (cont) -- (top);
\end{pgfonlayer}
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
One feature of this MWE is that I have included all tikz libraries that I use in my tex file as well as the \resizebox
. Please let me know if this does not add any helpful information.
I now want to add an independent node of approximately the same size as the other smaller nodes. What I have in mind looks something like this:
I am aware that this template exists. However, the second independent node would be horribly big. Does anyone have suggestions on how to solve this. I would dearly appreciate it.
