Multiroot Mindmap

[chapterjason]

While I was planing a presentation with multiple topics, I just thought about the multiple mind maps.
But I get an error which disallow multiple roots.

As the result says, here is my idea how to represent multiple roots:

Input:

@startmindmap
* Root 1
** Foo
** Bar
* Root 2
** Lorem
** Ipsum
@endmindmap

Output:

(Both in one image)

Hello @chapterjason,

Awaiting a implementation (by the "PlantUML team" :-)) to create directly a multi-root diagram, here is a workaround using sub-diagram (see QA-11895), as:

@startuml
label l [
{{mindmap
* Root 1
** Foo
** Bar
}}
{{mindmap
* Root 2
** Lorem
** Ipsum
}}
]
@enduml

Enjoy 🥳,
Regards.

FYI, this new feature is now available from the V1.2021.15 (30 Nov, 2021).

Input

@startmindmap
* Root 1
** Foo
** Bar
* Root 2
** Lorem
** Ipsum
@endmindmap

Output

Is it possible to rotate the diagram to display vertically?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hello @AbeEtan and all,

Yes, for that you can use top to bottom direction directive like:

@startmindmap
top to bottom direction
* Root 1
** Foo
** Bar
* Root 2
** Lorem
** Ipsum
@endmindmap

Hello @The-Lum,

Thank you so much, is it possible to add some margin space between the two such that bar and Root 2 edges don't touch each other?

Hi @AbeEtan,

As mentioned:

I can open an issue for that.
