Map.

Map is a macos application for wardley mapping. It lets you use text to create and update maps quickly.

Features

• Draw nodes, connect them, add blockers and opportunity arrows.
• Live preview.
• Adjust the size of each stage of evolution.
• Export to PNG and TXT.
• iCloud sync.

Screenshots

Language Reference

Nodes

Nodes should be of the format Name (x,y). The name can contain spaces and \n, and the x/y can be integers or decimals. All dimensions go from 0 - 100, so 50 means 50% of the way through. You can also specify the shape by appending `[Square]`, `[Triangle]`, or `[x]`. eg.

• Node (1,2)
• My Cool Node (10.0,21.0)
• A (1, 2.0) [Square]
• Rose Wall (44.3, 50.0) [x]

Edges

Edges connect two nodes. They use the format Node -- Node (line only) or Node -> Node (with arrowhead). eg.

• Node -- My Cool Node
• A -> Node

Blockers

You can place a blocker in front of a node by using [Blocker] Node. eg.

• [Blocker] My Cool Node
• [Blocker] A

Evolution

You can draw evolution arrows by using [Evolution] Node +x or [Evolution] Node -x. eg.

• [Evolution] My Cool Node -10
• [Evolution] A +15

Notes

You can add notes [Note] (x, y) Text where x and y are numbers, and Text is any text with spaces or \n

• [Note] (30, 45) Here we want to call out an explanation or context.
• [Note] (90, 25) We're close to the edge \n so we can multiline it.

Modifying the axes

If you need more space for one of the four segments you can use [I] x, [II] x, or [III] x,

• [I] 15
• [II] 35.5
• [III] 80

The parser doesn't enforce position, so if you put axis iii before axis i, you'll get some rendering issues.
