Could someone help me debug the code below?
I am struggling to get an animated mind map into a presentation. Thanks to marmot I managed to get the mind map animated, but when I integrate that code into a presentation, I get error messages. All I have managed to understand is it has to do with the arrows (eliminating the \DrawArrowConnection command solves the issue, but I need the arrows).
It is likely to be some beginner's mistake, but I have been playing around for an hour and still don't manage...
Thanks!
Alright, now I am having trouble putting this into a full presentation. For some reason I cannot find I get errors, which have to do with the arrows. Here's the sample code

% Keys to support piece-wise uncovering of elements in TikZ pictures:
% \node[visible on=<2->](foo){Foo}
% \node[visible on=<{2,4}>](bar){Bar} % put braces around comma expressions
%
% Internally works by setting opacity=0 when invisible, which has the
% adavantage (compared to \node<2->(foo){Foo} that the node is always there, hence
% always consumes space plus that coordinate (foo) is always available.
%
% The actual command that implements the invisibility can be overriden
% by altering the style invisible. For instance \tikzsset{invisible/.style={opacity=0.2}}
% would dim the "invisible" parts. Alternatively, the color might be set to white, if the
% output driver does not support transparencies (e.g., PS)

tikzin combination with thebabelpackage. In that case adding\usetikzlibrary{babel}(as also recommended here: Beamer, Babel and Tikz conflict ) can help. – leandriis May 04 '19 at 10:45
