Hi all,

MindMap looks like an effective way to represent certain knowledge
structure. I wonder if export a substree or an org file to mindmap may
be made possible through tikz/pgf. Here's an example of a mindmap done
in tikz: http://imagebin.org/57996

---- example TeX ----
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \path[mindmap,concept color=black,text=white]
  node[concept] {Computer Science}
  [clockwise from=0]
  child[concept color=green!50!black] {
    node[concept] {practical}
    [clockwise from=90]
    child { node[concept] {algorithms} }
    child { node[concept] {data structures} }
    child { node[concept] {programming languages} }
    child { node[concept] {software engineering} }
  }
  child[concept color=blue] {
    node[concept] {applied}
    [clockwise from=-30]
    child { node[concept] {databases} }
    child { node[concept] {WWW} }
  }
  child[concept color=red] { node[concept] {technical} }
  child[concept color=orange] { node[concept] {theoretical} };
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
