#6 Distinguish graphically folded node from bubble-styled node

[Matthias Schade]

I've added some new images to show, whether a node is
folded or not. I added a tree image, an image for a link
with a tree, an image for a mail with a tree and an image
for an executable with a tree.

Everytime a node is redrawn, the function
NodeView::update() checks whether there a child node
and whether they a folded. If this is true, then the
function show th corresponding tree image.

The source file
src/freemind/view/mindmapview/nodeview.java must be
patched with nodeview.diff.

This patch is tested with version 0.6.7 of freemind.

Enjoy.

Dear active user,

thank you for your patch. I would like to integrate it
provided that you introduce the following little change:
using the MindIcon possibility to add several images to the
node, you can add your folded icon if the node is folded and
leave the rest (mail or icons or whatever) to other parts of
the code.
I would like you to simply change the patch, such that if a
node is folded, then the folded image "images/Folded.png"
should be added to the iconImages with
iconImages.addImage(icon);

I'm looking forward to your changes,

Christian

Hi Matthias,

as you might have seen, I've changed your realisation myself
and put it into the actual release candidate for Freemind 0.7.
But, honestly, I see some problems with your solution:

* The icon does not change the color with the node, so
even if you have only light gray nodes, there are these blue
trees everywhere.
* The nodes need more place (not much, ok).
* It is not clear, whether to put the icon in front or
at the back of the icons, on the left hand side, it should
be on the right of the node and not within the icons.

Thus, I've stolen your idea and realised the task on another
way, which is sure also subject of discussion.
Please, have a look at the actual CVS version and tell me
your comments.

Hi Christian,

I think your realization in the actual release candidate ist quite okay.
Only with linear or sharp linear edges it doesn't look fine as with bezier
edges. But nevertheless everyone can now distinguish the folded
nodes from unfolded ones.
