    I'd like the node width to be set in pixels. This will let me match a node's to an image's width, which I also measure in pixels.

    Currently, Freeplane seems to prefer to show units as points, although I can manually display the pixel width through the Properties dialog.

    Is there a way to change the default units? If not, could that be something for a future release?

    Thanks.

    You can edit your template maps

      I guess I'm going to need some help with this. When I go to Preferences/Environment and then look at the Standard Template File entry, it says Standard-1.6.mm. I then went to the Freeplane program folder and also to the AppData/Roaming/Freeplane/Templates folder.

      I see no template files at all. Are these for me to create? When I create a template file, how do I set the preferred units?

      Thanks, Dimitry.

    Or you can use a script that sets the node width in pixel without using the properties panel.

    String customWidth = ui.showInputDialog(node.delegate, 'Set node width (pixel)', '')
if (customWidth?.isInteger()) {
node.style.minNodeWidth = customWidth as int
node.style.maxNodeWidth = customWidth as int
}
else
c.statusInfo = 'Please provide an integer.'
     
    setNodeWidth.groovy
