Download FYMgraphics

FYMgraphics is shareware. Here you can download the demo version of FYMgraphics. The demo version has limited functionality. Here you can purchase a licence key to unlock it. The licence key is valid for this release and all future releases of FYMgraphics as well.

The most important things to know:
The right-most button in the symbol bar opens the main menu, the context menu can be opened by holding the stylus pressed for a second and you can simply drag the mind map with the stylus.

If you have any question about how to operate the program don't hesitate to write an email to fym@peterschmidt.name.

Here you can download the German! User Manual for FYMgraphics. But sorry, the program grows too fast and so the manual is not up-to-date, but anyhow it's helpful to understand the menu items.
