\section{Tutorial: A Lecture Map for Johannes}

In this tutorial we explore the tree and mind map mechanisms of \tikzname.

Johannes is quite excited: For the first time he will be teaching a course all
by himself during the upcoming semester! Unfortunately, the course is not on
his favorite subject, which is of course Theoretical Immunology, but on
Complexity Theory, but as a young academic Johannes is not likely to complain
too loudly. In order to help the students get a general overview of what is
going to happen during the course as a whole, he intends to draw some kind of
tree or graph containing the basic concepts. He got this idea from his old
professor who seems to be using these ``lecture maps'' with some success.
Independently of the success of these maps, Johannes thinks they look quite
neat.


\subsection{Problem Statement}

Johannes wishes to create a lecture map with the following features:
%
\begin{enumerate}
    \item It should contain a tree or graph depicting the main concepts.
    \item It should somehow visualize the different lectures that will be
        taught. Note that the lectures are not necessarily the same as the
        concepts since the graph may contain more concepts than will be
        addressed in lectures and some concepts may be addressed during more
        than one lecture.
    \item The map should also contain a calendar showing when the individual
        lectures will be given.
    \item The aesthetical reasons, the whole map should have a visually nice
        and information-rich background.
\end{enumerate}

As always, Johannes will have to include the right libraries and set up the
environment. Johannes is going to use the |mindmap| library and since he wishes
to show a calendar, he will also need the |calendar| library. In order to put
something on a background layer, it seems like a good idea to also include the
|backgrounds| library.


\subsection{Introduction to Trees}

The first choice Johannes must make is whether he will organize the concepts as
a tree, with root concepts and concept branches and leaf concepts, or as a
general graph. The tree implicitly organizes the concepts, while a graph is
more flexible. Johannes decides to compromise: Basically, the concepts will be
organized as a tree. However, he will selectively add connections between
concepts that are related, but which appear on different levels or branches of
the tree.

Johannes starts with a tree-like list of concepts that he feels are important
in Computational Complexity:
%
\begin{itemize}
    \item Computational Problems
        \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt
            \item Problem Measures
            \item Problem Aspects
            \item Problem Domains
            \item Key Problems
        \end{itemize}
    \item Computational Models
        \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt
            \item Turing Machines
            \item Random-Access Machines
            \item Circuits
            \item Binary Decision Diagrams
            \item Oracle Machines
            \item Programming in Logic
        \end{itemize}
    \item Measuring Complexity
        \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt
            \item Complexity Measures
            \item Classifying Complexity
            \item Comparing Complexity
            \item Describing Complexity
        \end{itemize}
    \item Solving Problems
        \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt
            \item Exact Algorithms
            \item Randomization
            \item Fixed-Parameter Algorithms
            \item Parallel Computation
            \item Partial Solutions
            \item Approximation
        \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

Johannes will surely need to modify this list later on, but it looks good as a
first approximation. He will also need to add a number of subtopics (like
\emph{lots} of complexity classes under the topic ``classifying complexity''),
but he will do this as he constructs the map.

Turning the list of topics into a \tikzname-tree is easy, in principle. The
basic idea is that a node can have \emph{children}, which in turn can have
children of their own, and so on. To add a child to a node, Johannes can simply
write |child {|\meta{node}|}| right after a node. The \meta{node} should, in
turn, be the code for creating a node. To add another node, Johannes can use
|child| once more, and so on. Johannes is eager to try out this construct and
writes down the following:
%
\begin{codeexample}[]
\tikz
  \node {Computational Complexity} % root
    child { node {Computational Problems}
      child { node {Problem Measures} }
      child { node {Problem Aspects} }
      child { node {Problem Domains} }
      child { node {Key Problems} }
    }
    child { node {Computational Models}
      child { node {Turing Machines} }
      child { node {Random-Access Machines} }
      child { node {Circuits} }
      child { node {Binary Decision Diagrams} }
      child { node {Oracle Machines} }
      child { node {Programming in Logic} }
    }
    child { node {Measuring Complexity}
      child { node {Complexity Measures} }
      child { node {Classifying Complexity} }
      child { node {Comparing Complexity} }
      child { node {Describing Complexity} }
    }
    child { node {Solving Problems}
      child { node {Exact Algorithms} }
      child { node {Randomization} }
      child { node {Fixed-Parameter Algorithms} }
      child { node {Parallel Computation} }
      child { node {Partial Solutions} }
      child { node {Approximation} }
    };
\end{codeexample}

Well, that did not quite work out as expected (although, what, exactly, did one
expect?). There are two problems:
%
\begin{enumerate}
    \item The overlap of the nodes is due to the fact that \tikzname\ is not
        particularly smart when it comes to placing child nodes. Even though
        it is possible to configure \tikzname\ to use rather clever placement
        methods, \tikzname\ has no way of taking the actual size of the child
        nodes into account. This may seem strange but the reason is that the
        child nodes are rendered and placed one at a time, so the size of the
        last node is not known when the first node is being processed. In
        essence, you have to specify appropriate level and sibling node
        spacings ``by hand''.
    \item The standard computer-science-top-down rendering of a tree is
        rather ill-suited to visualizing the concepts. It would be better to
        either rotate the map by ninety degrees or, even better, to use some
        sort of circular arrangement.
\end{enumerate}

Johannes redraws the tree, but this time with some more appropriate options
set, which he found more or less by trial-and-error:
%
\begin{codeexample}[
    preamble={\usetikzlibrary{trees}},
    render instead={
        \tikz [font=\footnotesize,
               grow=right, level 1/.style={sibling distance=6em},
                           level 2/.style={sibling distance=1em}, level distance=5cm]
          \node {Computational Complexity} % root
            child { node {Computational Problems}
              child { node {Problem Measures} }           child { node {Problem Aspects} }
              child { node {Problem Domains} }            child { node {Key Problems} }
            }
            child { node {Computational Models}
              child { node {Turing Machines} }            child { node {Random-Access Machines} }
              child { node {Circuits} }                   child { node {Binary Decision Diagrams} }
              child { node {Oracle Machines} }            child { node {Programming in Logic} }
            }
            child { node {Measuring Complexity}
              child { node {Complexity Measures} }        child { node {Classifying Complexity} }
              child { node {Comparing Complexity} }       child { node {Describing Complexity} }
            }
            child { node {Solving Problems}
              child { node {Exact Algorithms} }           child { node {Randomization} }
              child { node {Fixed-Parameter Algorithms} } child { node {Parallel Computation} }
              child { node {Partial Solutions} }          child { node {Approximation} }
            };
    },
]
\tikz [font=\footnotesize,
       grow=right, level 1/.style={sibling distance=6em},
                   level 2/.style={sibling distance=1em}, level distance=5cm]
  \node {Computational Complexity} % root
    child { node {Computational Problems}
      child { node {Problem Measures} }
      child { node {Problem Aspects} }
      ... % as before
\end{codeexample}

Still not quite what Johannes had in mind, but he is getting somewhere.

For configuring the tree, two parameters are of particular importance: The
|level distance| tells \tikzname\ the distance between (the centers of) the
nodes on adjacent levels or layers of a tree. The |sibling distance| is, as the
name suggests, the distance between (the centers of) siblings of the tree.

You can globally set these parameters for a tree by simply setting them
somewhere before the tree starts, but you will typically wish them to be
different for different levels of the tree. In this case, you should set styles
like |level 1| or |level 2|. For the first level of the tree, the |level 1|
style is used, for the second level the |level 2| style, and so on. You can
also set the sibling and level distances only for certain nodes by passing
these options to the |child| command as options. (Note that the options of a
|node| command are local to the node and have no effect on the children. Also
note that it is possible to specify options that do have an effect on the
children. Finally note that specifying options for children ``at the right
place'' is an arcane art and you should peruse
Section~\ref{section-tree-options} on a rainy Sunday afternoon, if you are
really interested.)

The |grow| key is used to configure the direction in which a tree grows. You
can change growth direction ``in the middle of a tree'' simply by changing this
key for a single child or a whole level. By including the |trees| library you
also get access to additional growth strategies such as a ``circular'' growth:
%
\begin{codeexample}[
    preamble={\usetikzlibrary{trees}},
    render instead={
        \tikz [text width=2.7cm, align=flush center,
               grow cyclic,
               level 1/.style={level distance=2.5cm,sibling angle=90},
               level 2/.style={text width=2cm, font=\footnotesize, level distance=3cm,sibling angle=30}]
          \node[font=\bfseries] {Computational Complexity} % root
            child { node {Computational Problems}
              child { node {Problem Measures} }           child { node {Problem Aspects} }
              child { node {Problem Domains} }            child { node {Key Problems} }
            }
            child { node {Computational Models}
              child { node {Turing Machines} }            child { node {Random-Access Machines} }
              child { node {Circuits} }                   child { node {Binary Decision Diagrams} }
              child { node {Oracle Machines} }            child { node {Programming in Logic} }
            }
            child { node {Measuring Complexity}
              child { node {Complexity Measures} }        child { node {Classifying Complexity} }
              child { node {Comparing Complexity} }       child { node {Describing Complexity} }
            }
            child { node {Solving Problems}
              child { node {Exact Algorithms} }           child { node {Randomization} }
              child { node {Fixed-Parameter Algorithms} } child { node {Parallel Computation} }
              child { node {Partial Solutions} }          child { node {Approximation} }
            };
    },
]
\tikz [text width=2.7cm, align=flush center,
       grow cyclic,
       level 1/.style={level distance=2.5cm,sibling angle=90},
       level 2/.style={text width=2cm, font=\footnotesize, level distance=3cm,sibling angle=30}]
  \node[font=\bfseries] {Computational Complexity} % root
    child { node {Computational Problems}
      child { node {Problem Measures} }
      child { node {Problem Aspects} }
      ... % as before
\end{codeexample}

Johannes is pleased to learn that he can access and manipulate the nodes of the
tree like any normal node. In particular, he can name them using the |name=|
option or the |(|\meta{name}|)| notation and he can use any available shape or
style for the trees nodes. He can connect trees later on using the normal
|\draw (some node) -- (another node);| syntax. In essence, the |child| command
just computes an appropriate position for a node and adds a line from the child
to the parent node.


\subsection{Creating the Lecture Map}

Johannes now has a first possible layout for his lecture map. The next step is
to make it ``look nicer''. For this, the |mindmap| library is helpful since it
makes a number of styles available that will make a tree look like a nice
``mind map'' or ``concept map''.

The first step is to include the |mindmap| library, which Johannes already did.
Next, he must add one of the following options to a scope that will contain the
lecture map: |mindmap| or |large mindmap| or |huge mindmap|. These options all
have the same effect, except that for a |large mindmap| the predefined font
size and node sizes are somewhat larger than for a standard |mindmap| and for a
|huge mindmap| they are even larger. So, a |large mindmap| does not necessarily
need to have a lot of concepts, but it will need a lot of paper.

The second step is to add the |concept| option to every node that will, indeed,
be a concept of the mindmap. The idea is that some nodes of a tree will be real
concepts, while other nodes might just be ``simple children''. Typically, this
is not the case, so you might consider saying |every node/.style=concept|.

The third step is to set up the sibling \emph{angle} (rather than a sibling
distance) to specify the angle between sibling concepts.
%
\begin{codeexample}[
    preamble={\usetikzlibrary{mindmap}},
    render instead={
        \tikz [mindmap, every node/.style=concept, concept color=black!20,
               grow cyclic,
               level 1/.append style={level distance=4.5cm,sibling angle=90},
               level 2/.append style={level distance=3cm,sibling angle=45}]
          \node [root concept] {Computational Complexity} % root
            child { node {\hbox to 2cm{Computational\hss} Problems}
              child { node {Problem Measures} }
              child { node {Problem Aspects} }
              child { node {Problem Domains} }
              child { node {Key Problems} }
            }
            child { node {\hbox to 2cm{Computational\hss} Models}
              child { node {Turing Machines} }
              child { node {Random-Access Machines} }
              child { node {Circuits} }
              child { node {Binary Decision Diagrams} }
              child { node {Oracle Machines} }
              child { node {\hbox to1.5cm{Programming\hss} in Logic} }
            }
            child { node {Measuring Complexity}
              child { node {Complexity Measures} }
              child { node {Classifying Complexity} }
              child { node {Comparing Complexity} }
              child { node {Describing Complexity} }
            }
            child { node {Solving Problems}
              child { node {Exact Algorithms} }
              child { node {\hbox to 1.5cm{Randomization\hss}} }
              child { node {Fixed-Parameter Algorithms} }
              child { node {Parallel Computation} }
              child { node {Partial Solutions} }
              child { node {\hbox to1.5cm{Approximation\hss}} }
            };
    },
]
\tikz [mindmap, every node/.style=concept, concept color=black!20,
       grow cyclic,
       level 1/.append style={level distance=4.5cm,sibling angle=90},
       level 2/.append style={level distance=3cm,sibling angle=45}]
  \node [root concept] {Computational Complexity} % root
    child { node {Computational Problems}
      child { node {Problem Measures} }
      child { node {Problem Aspects} }
      ... % as before
\end{codeexample}

When Johannes typesets the above map, \TeX\ (rightfully) starts complaining
about several overfull boxes and, indeed, words like ``Randomization'' stretch
out beyond the circle of the concept. This seems a bit mysterious at first
sight: Why does \TeX\ not hyphenate the word? The reason is that \TeX\ will
never hyphenate the first word of a paragraph because it starts looking for
``hyphenatable'' letters only after a so-called glue. In order to have \TeX\
hyphenate these single words, Johannes must use a bit of evil trickery: He
inserts a |\hskip0pt| before the word. This has no effect except for inserting
an (invisible) glue before the word and, thereby, allowing \TeX\ to hyphenate
the first word also. Since Johannes does not want to add |\hskip0pt| inside
each node, he uses the |execute at begin node| option to make \tikzname\ insert
this text with every node.

\end{codeexample}

In the above example a clipping was used to show only part of the lecture map,
in order to save space. The same will be done in the following examples, we
return to the complete lecture map at the end of this tutorial.

Johannes is now eager to colorize the map. The idea is to use different colors
for different parts of the map. He can then, during his lectures, talk about
the ``green'' or the ``red'' topics. This will make it easier for his students
to locate the topic he is talking about on the map. Since ``computational
problems'' somehow sounds ``problematic'', Johannes chooses red for them, while
he picks green for the ``solving problems''. The topics ``measuring
complexity'' and ``computational models'' get more neutral colors; Johannes
picks orange and blue.

To set the colors, Johannes must use the |concept color| option, rather than
just, say, |node [fill=red]|. Setting just the fill color to |red| would,
indeed, make the node red, but it would \emph{just} make the node red and not
the bar connecting the concept to its parent and also not its children. By
comparison, the special |concept color| option will not only set the color of
the node and its children, but it will also (magically) create appropriate
shadings so that the color of a parent concept smoothly changes to the color of
a child concept.

For the root concept Johannes decides to do something special: He sets the
concept color to black, sets the line width to a large value, and sets the fill
color to white. The effect of this is that the root concept will be encircled
with a thick black line and the children are connected to the central concept
via bars.

Johannes adds three finishing touches: First, he changes the font of the main
concepts to small caps. Second, he decides that some concepts should be
``faded'', namely those that are important in principle and belong on the map,
but which he will not talk about in his lecture. To achieve this, Johannes
defines four styles, one for each of the four main branches. These styles (a)
set up the correct concept color for the whole branch and (b) define the
|faded| style appropriately for this branch. Third, he adds a
|circular drop shadow|, defined in the |shadows| library, to the concepts, just
to make things look a bit more fancy.

\subsection{Adding the Lecture Annotations}

Johannes will give about a dozen lectures during the course ``computational
complexity''. For each lecture he has compiled a (short) list of learning
targets that state what knowledge and qualifications his students should
acquire during this particular lecture (note that learning targets are not the
same as the contents of a lecture). For each lecture he intends to put a little
rectangle on the map containing these learning targets and the name of the
lecture, each time somewhere near the topic of the lecture. Such ``little
rectangles'' are called ``annotations'' by the |mindmap| library.

In order to place the annotations next to the concepts, Johannes must assign
names to the nodes of the concepts. He could rely on \tikzname's automatic
naming of the nodes in a tree, where the children of a node named |root| are
named |root-1|, |root-2|, |root-3|, and so on. However, since Johannes is not
sure about the final order of the concepts in the tree, it seems better to
explicitly name all concepts of the tree in the following manner:
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\node [root concept] (Computational Complexity) {Computational Complexity}
  child [computational problems] { node (Computational Problems) {Computational Problems}
    child         { node (Problem Measures) {Problem Measures} }
    child         { node (Problem Aspects) {Problem Aspects} }
    child [faded] { node (Problem Domains) {Problem Domains} }
    child         { node (Key Problems) {Key Problems} }
  }
...
\end{codeexample}

The |annotation| style of the |mindmap| library mainly sets up a rectangular
shape of appropriate size. Johannes configures the style by defining
|every annotation| appropriately.

Well, that does not yet look quite perfect. The spacing or the |{itemize}| is
not really appropriate and the node is too large. Johannes can configure these
things ``by hand'', but it seems like a good idea to define a macro that will
take care of these things for him. The ``right'' way to do this is to define a
|\lecture| macro that takes a list of key--value pairs as argument and produces
the desired annotation. However, to keep things simple, Johannes' |\lecture|
macro simply takes a fixed number of arguments having the following meaning:
The first argument is the number of the lecture, the second is the name of the
lecture, the third are positioning options like |above|, the fourth is the
position where the node is placed, the fifth is the list of items to be shown,
and the sixth is a date when the lecture will be held (this parameter is not
yet needed, we will, however, need it later on).

In the same fashion Johannes can now add the other lecture annotations.
Obviously, Johannes will have some trouble fitting everything on a single
A4-sized page, but by adjusting the spacing and some experimentation he can
quickly arrange all the annotations as needed.


\subsection{Adding the Background}

Johannes has already used colors to organize his lecture map into four regions,
each having a different color. In order to emphasize these regions even more
strongly, he wishes to add a background coloring to each of these regions.

Adding these background colors turns out to be more tricky than Johannes would
have thought. At first sight, what he needs is some sort of ``color wheel''
that is blue in the lower right direction and then changes smoothly to orange
in the upper right direction and then to green in the upper left direction and
so on. Unfortunately, there is no easy way of creating such a color wheel
shading (although it can be done, in principle, but only at a very high cost,
see page~\pageref{shading-color-wheel} for an example).

Johannes decides to do something a bit more basic: He creates four large
rectangles, one for each of the four quadrants around the central concept, each
colored with a light version of the quadrant. Then, in order to ``smooth'' the
change between adjacent rectangles, he puts four shadings on top of them.

Since these background rectangles should go ``behind'' everything else,
Johannes puts all his background stuff on the |background| layer.

In the following code, only the central concept is shown to save some space:
%

\subsection{Adding the Calendar}

Johannes intends to plan his lecture rather carefully. In particular, he
already knows when each of his lectures will be held during the course.
Naturally, this does not mean that Johannes will slavishly follow the plan and
he might need longer for some subjects than he anticipated, but nevertheless he
has a detailed plan of when which subject will be addressed.

Johannes intends to share this plan with his students by adding a calendar to
the lecture map. In addition to serving as a reference on which particular day
a certain  topic will be addressed, the calendar is also useful to show the
overall chronological order of the course.

In order to add a calendar to a \tikzname\ graphic, the |calendar| library is
most useful. The library provides the |\calendar| command, which takes a large
number of options and which can be configured in many ways to produce just
about any kind of calendar imaginable. For Johannes' purposes, a simple
|day list downward| will be a nice option since it produces a list of days that
go ``downward''.
%
\begin{codeexample}[
    leave comments,
    preamble={\usetikzlibrary{calendar}},
]
\tiny
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \calendar [day list downward,
             name=cal,
             dates=2009-04-01 to 2009-04-14]
    if (weekend)
      [black!25];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

Using the |name| option, we gave a name to the calendar, which will allow us to
reference the nodes that make up the individual days of the calendar later on.
For instance, the rectangular node containing the |1| that represents April
1st, 2009, can be referenced as |(cal-2009-04-01)|. The |dates| option is used
to specify an interval for which the calendar should be drawn. Johannes will
need several months in his calendar, but the above example only shows two weeks
to save some space.

Note the |if (weekend)| construct. The |\calendar| command is followed by
options and then by |if|-statements. These |if|-statements are checked for each
day of the calendar and when a date passes this test, the options or the code
following the |if|-statement is executed. In the above example, we make weekend
days (Saturdays and Sundays, to be precise) lighter than normal days. (Use your
favorite calendar to check that, indeed, April 5th, 2009, is a Sunday.)

As mentioned above, Johannes can reference the nodes that are used to typeset
days. Recall that his |\lecture| macro already got passed a date, which we did
not use, yet. We can now use it to place the lecture's title next to the date
when the lecture will be held:
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\def\lecture#1#2#3#4#5#6{
  % As before:
  \node [annotation, #3, scale=0.65, text width=4cm, inner sep=2mm] at (#4) {
    Lecture #1: \textcolor{orange}{\textbf{#2}}
    \list{--}{\topsep=2pt\itemsep=0pt\parsep=0pt
              \parskip=0pt\labelwidth=8pt\leftmargin=8pt
              \itemindent=0pt\labelsep=2pt}
    #5
    \endlist
  };
  % New:
  \node [anchor=base west] at (cal-#6.base east) {\textcolor{orange}{\textbf{#2}}};
}
\end{codeexample}
\def\lecture#1#2#3#4#5#6{
  \node [anchor=base west] at (cal-#6.base east) {\textcolor{orange}{\textbf{#2}}};
}

Johannes can now use this new |\lecture| command as follows (in the example,
only the new part of the definition is used):
%
\begin{codeexample}[
    preamble={\usetikzlibrary{calendar}},
    pre={ % !!! replace all `##x` with `#x`
\def\lecture##1##2##3##4##5##6{
  \node [anchor=base west] at (cal-##6.base east) {\textcolor{orange}{\textbf{##2}}};
}},
]
\tiny
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \calendar [day list downward,
             name=cal,
             dates=2009-04-01 to 2009-04-14]
    if (weekend)
      [black!25];

  % As before:
  \lecture{1}{Computational Problems}{above,xshift=-3mm}
  {Computational Problems.north}{
    \item Knowledge of several key problems
    \item Knowledge of problem encodings
    \item Being able to formalize problems
  }{2009-04-08}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}

As a final step, Johannes needs to add a few more options to the calendar
command: He uses the |month text| option to configure how the text of a month
is rendered (see Section~\ref{section-calender} for details) and then typesets
the month text at a special position at the beginning of each month.
%
\begin{codeexample}[
    leave comments,
    preamble={\usetikzlibrary{calendar}},
    pre={ % !!! replace all `##x` with `#x`
\def\lecture##1##2##3##4##5##6{
  \node [anchor=base west] at (cal-##6.base east) {\textcolor{orange}{\textbf{##2}}};
}},
]
\tiny
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \calendar [day list downward,
             month text=\%mt\ \%y0,
             month yshift=3.5em,
             name=cal,
             dates=2009-04-01 to 2009-05-01]
    if (weekend)
      [black!25]
    if (day of month=1) {
      \node at (0pt,1.5em) [anchor=base west] {\small\tikzmonthtext};
    };

  \lecture{1}{Computational Problems}{above,xshift=-3mm}
  {Computational Problems.north}{
    \item Knowledge of several key problems
    \item Knowledge of problem encodings
    \item Being able to formalize problems
  }{2009-04-08}

  \lecture{2}{Computational Models}{above,xshift=-3mm}
  {Computational Models.north}{
    \item Knowledge of Turing machines
    \item Being able to compare the computational power of different
      models
  }{2009-04-15}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{codeexample}


\subsection{The Complete Code}

Putting it all together, Johannes gets the following code:

First comes the definition of the |\lecture| command:
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
\def\lecture#1#2#3#4#5#6{
  % As before:
  \node [annotation, #3, scale=0.65, text width=4cm, inner sep=2mm, fill=white] at (#4) {
    Lecture #1: \textcolor{orange}{\textbf{#2}}
    \list{--}{\topsep=2pt\itemsep=0pt\parsep=0pt
              \parskip=0pt\labelwidth=8pt\leftmargin=8pt
              \itemindent=0pt\labelsep=2pt}
    #5
    \endlist
  };
  % New:
  \node [anchor=base west] at (cal-#6.base east) {\textcolor{orange}{\textbf{#2}}};
}
\end{codeexample}

This is followed by the main mindmap setup\dots
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]

        child         { node (Approximation) {Approximation} }
      };
  \end{scope}
\end{codeexample}
%
Now comes the calendar code:
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
  \tiny
  \calendar [day list downward,
             month text=\%mt\ \%y0,
             month yshift=3.5em,

             at={(-.5\textwidth-5mm,.5\textheight-1cm)},
             dates=2009-04-01 to 2009-06-last]
    if (weekend)
      [black!25]
    if (day of month=1) {
      \node at (0pt,1.5em) [anchor=base west] {\small\tikzmonthtext};
    };
\end{codeexample}
%
The lecture annotations:
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
  \lecture{1}{Computational Problems}{above,xshift=-5mm,yshift=5mm}{Computational Problems.north}{
    \item Knowledge of several key problems
    \item Knowledge of problem encodings

  \lecture{2}{Computational Models}{above left}
  {Computational Models.west}{
    \item Knowledge of Turing machines
    \item Being able to compare the computational power of different
      models
  }{2009-04-15}
\end{codeexample}
%
Finally, the background:
%
\begin{codeexample}[code only]
  \begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
    \clip[xshift=-1cm] (-.5\textwidth,-.5\textheight) rectangle ++(\textwidth,\textheight);

    \colorlet{upperleft}{green!50!black!25}
    \colorlet{upperright}{orange!25}
    \colorlet{lowerleft}{red!25}
    \colorlet{lowerright}{blue!25}

     % The large rectangles:
    \fill [upperleft]  (Computational Complexity) rectangle ++(-20,20);
    \fill [upperright] (Computational Complexity) rectangle ++(20,20);
    \fill [lowerleft]  (Computational Complexity) rectangle ++(-20,-20);
    \fill [lowerright] (Computational Complexity) rectangle ++(20,-20);

    % The shadings:

  \end{pgfonlayer}
\end{tikzpicture}
