A free canvas for your final figure

Build mode is a free canvas for constructing your final figure for a thesis, article or poster. Each figure style becomes a starting layout, and Build tools let you move anything, change node and branch shapes, add arrowheads and influence signs, frame linked factors and add notes. Quotes never appear on the canvas. Build mode is chosen on the Start a project screen. Figures you build are kept in the layout file, which you save with Save layout and bring back with Open layout, so a figure can be picked up in a later session.

Build mode is in beta. It works, and it is still being tested, so its controls may change. Feedback on it is welcome.

Your figures, in your files

Build mode saves to a layout file on your own computer. It holds names and positions, never quotes.

  • Read locally

    Transcripts and quotes are read locally and never leave the machine.

  • Nothing to submit

    No file submission or permanent storage is required.

  • Quotes untouched

    Verbatim quotes are never altered, with a separate refined column for presentation wording.

  • Sheets is opt in

    The Google Sheets mode is opt in, for non-sensitive data only.

The layout file

It holds the figures you build as names and positions only, never quotes. A file that is not a Themescape layout file is turned away with a short note.

Exporting a built figure

Export figure, in Build tools, opens Figure export with the figure as it stands, leaving out the nodes and branches you have hidden. A warning reminds you that a note written in Build must not quote a participant unless your ethics approval allows it.
