Need help in beamer mind maps

Question

Can anyone help me fit my mind map in beamer?

EDIT:

I have these codes for the figure, but how I would like to fit the figure in beamer.

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap,trees}
\usepackage{verbatim}

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}

Version 1.09 of PGF/TikZ added a library for drawing mindmaps. Here's an example
from the manual.

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \path[mindmap,concept color=black,text=white]
    node[concept] {Unit Root Tests}
    [clockwise from=15]
    child[concept color=green!50!black] {
      node[concept] {Granger Causality (TY p.)}
      [clockwise from=90]
      child { node[concept] {Full Sample}}
      child { node[concept] {Pre and Post Sample}}
    }  
    child[concept color=blue] {
      node[concept] {Cointegration Test}
      [clockwise from=-30]
      child { node[concept] {Full Sample} }
      child { node[concept] {Pre and Post Sample} }
    }
    child[concept color=red] { node[concept] {Break Point Tests} [clockwise from=-90] 
        child { node[concept] {ZA and PPU Tests}}}
    child[concept color=orange] { node[concept] {Classical Tests} [clockwise from=90] 
        child { node[concept] {ADF, PP, and KPSS Tests}}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

It looks like this

I'm no TikZ mind map expert, but it doesn't look like you've tried to draw any mind map whatsoever. Why haven't you at least tried to draw a simple example from the manual or maybe one of the ones from the mind map examples on http://texample.net ..? — jon, Apr 03 '16 at 06:15
I've tried those but they're not working in Share Latex's beamer. — OGC, Apr 03 '16 at 06:43
Well, 'they're not working in X' is a difficult thing to help with, not least because you never mentioned that part. But it is also hard to know what is not working or why it is not: presumably you are getting a (set of) specific error(s), not an error that says 'you cannot use mind maps on Share LaTeX'.... — jon, Apr 03 '16 at 19:05
It gives a page of errors. Can you help with the outline of codes. I tried some codes from online before and it looked complicated. — OGC, Apr 03 '16 at 22:39
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.85, small mindmap, every mindmap/.append style={font=\tiny}, every concept/.append style={font=\tiny}]. But I really shouldn't be answering this since i almost never use TikZ.... — jon, Apr 04 '16 at 05:45
@OGC "It gives a page of errors" happens, but normally only the first error is relevant - start with it. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 04 '16 at 08:39

There are many different ways to shrink a tikzpicture to fit inside a beamer frame, see, e.g., Scaling a tikzpicture for a Beamer slide.

One possibility using adjustbox:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap,trees}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{adjustbox}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{adjustbox}{max totalsize={.9\textwidth}{.7\textheight},center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \path[mindmap,concept color=black,text=white]
    node[concept] {Unit Root Tests}
    [clockwise from=15]
    child[concept color=green!50!black] {
      node[concept] {Granger Causality (TY p.)}
      [clockwise from=90]
      child { node[concept] {Full Sample}}
      child { node[concept] {Pre and Post Sample}}
    }  
    child[concept color=blue] {
      node[concept] {Cointegration Test}
      [clockwise from=-30]
      child { node[concept] {Full Sample} }
      child { node[concept] {Pre and Post Sample} }
    }
    child[concept color=red] { node[concept] {Break Point Tests} [clockwise from=-90] 
        child { node[concept] {ZA and PPU Tests}}}
    child[concept color=orange] { node[concept] {Classical Tests} [clockwise from=90] 
        child { node[concept] {ADF, PP, and KPSS Tests}}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{adjustbox}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Making a mind map is not, strictly speaking, a beamer capability, but is (for example) a tikz capability. I have never tried to put a tikz mind map on a beamer slide, but the coding would start with using some tikz code. I am not sure if there are other LaTeX-based implementations of mind maps, but tikz includes "mindmap" in its extensive library, and would be a natural way to solve your problem. Cheers

Yes, seems like you may be right as so far I've failed in incorporating the tikz codes in beamer. they just don't run. – OGC Apr 04 '16 at 02:03
