What is a radial layout?

A radial layout arranges a mind map with the central topic in the middle and branches radiating outward in all directions, like spokes from a hub. It uses the full space around the center and keeps the main topic visually dominant. This is the classic, most recognizable mind map form.

  • Central node sits in the middle with branches spreading outward.
  • Emphasizes the main topic and balances ideas around it.
  • One of six layout options in Overscope.
