There are some examples on the Freeplane website:

You can download it and try it, or draw them on paper.

There’s also a related discussion here: [Mind map software-generated](https://forum.artofmemory.com/t/mind-map-software-generated/37843)

You can even draw them directly in the forum by using [Graphviz format](https://graphs.grevian.org/example) like this:

graph { {node [style=filled, color=yellow] Sun} {node [style=filled, color=blue, fontcolor=white] Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars} {node [style=filled, color=lightblue] Moon, Phobos, Deimos} Sun -- Mercury; Sun -- Venus; Sun -- Earth; Sun -- Mars; Earth -- Moon; Mars -- Phobos; Mars -- Deimos; }

I don’t use mind maps often, but some people like them. I prefer to keep my notes in lists, and I’ll draw diagrams, but they aren’t exactly mind maps. I sometimes use things like color and arrows, but more like this:
