Felix, Would there be someway to make this api accessible through a widget or macro so we need not enter the javascript realm to do this?
This has in part being why I shied away from the fantastic tiddlymap because I am always building my own bespoke data structures and until I can transfer these into tiddlymap using methods I understand I am not keen to manually move data into tiddlymap representations. TiddlyMap is a key visualisation tool for TiddlyWiki so thanks for your work, but for some their is still a barrier to adoption, which I doubt would be hard for you to remove. I can imagine the ability to take a toc or tags structure and convert it to a tiddlymap either with a default connector, or one based on another tag or field value.
