Junkyard

Create text boxes with your notes and ideas. Arrange and rearrange them. Draw connections between them. Change fonts, colors, add arrows, place graphics on the canvas. Separate topics into their own tabs.

Junkyard helps you:

- UNLOAD YOUR THOUGHTS and get them organized. Unpack ideas and draw the connections between them. Make the complex understandable, and manageable.

- PRODUCE CRISP, HIGH QUALITY DIAGRAMS for any situation where you need to illustrate relationships.

- CREATE AN OUTLINE DOCUMENT which can be opened in any word processor and used as the foundation of an essay, research paper, legal argument, and so on. The "Show Outline" command automatically transforms your diagrams into a neatly organized, hierarchical text document with optional paragraph numbering.

- OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION by making it easy to express and progressively build up your ideas. When you can't seem to get started on a project, just doubleclick on the canvas and type a few words. Then do it again, and again. Connect the pieces. Click "Show Outline" and suddenly you have the framework of a document.

What is new in this release:

- Controls are logically grouped in the Inspector and can be hidden if not required.
- A navigation map showing a bird's-eye-view of the current sheet is now provided in the Inspector. This helps you stay oriented when the sheet is large and only a small portion can be visible. You can drag or double-click in the map to quickly move the visible area.
- The appearance and behaviour of tabs has been improved.
- You can set a default font for text boxes. (Preferences).
- Text that you paste or drag in from another source can be automatically converted to the default font. This is useful when you are gathering material from diverse sources. (Preferences).
- While the default font applies only to newly created text boxes, it is now also easier to change the font in existing text boxes. Click the text box to select it (shift-click to select multiple) and click the desired font in the Font Manager panel.
- Positioning of objects on the canvas relative to the bottom left corner of the window is preserved.
- Connection lines and arrows draw correctly when printing.
- Additional bug fixes and stability improvements.
