I created this mindmap to illustrate a big system that I built.
As I am describing it, I need to have a small portion of the mindmap along with the text, so that the reader understands better which part I am writing about.
Is it possible to show only a part of the mindmap? Maybe a "zoom in" effect or "isolate" a branch or "focus"? Ideas are welcome. One idea is to have a portion like this:
UPDATED question to show what I got so far and put the code in a single file.
Here is the MWE:

With the suggestions by @jet, executing the code above I get a nice path around the blue part the with \drawcommand. I thought that now that I visually validate the area to be cliped I just substitute \draw with \clip. But what happens is I get the some joints from other nodes:
Here is the picture with the \draw command and next, with the \clip command:
I believe the problem might be in last part of the tikzpicture, the pgfonlayer. I just used it to link the dark blue node (that is not a child of the main node) to the other nodes. I do not know other way to do it.
And I don't want to clip/trim a pdf because I want to keep the nodes referenceable.
clipa part of your mindmap. – JeT Jun 19 '20 at 16:46viewslibrary, but I've never used it. – vi pa Jun 20 '20 at 11:53viewslibrary only works with rectangle shapes – Pedro Jun 25 '20 at 11:15\input{mindmap-texforum1.tikz}. I am using background layer to create connections between nodes that are not childs of the main node (the dark blue node that says Laaaa. I did not know how to do it other way. – Pedro Jun 26 '20 at 12:45ocgx2package which allows you to make the PDF file interactive and to make certain parts of the schematic appear or disappear by clicking on these areas. This works with some PDF readers, including Adobe Reader. Is this what you want to do? – AndréC Jun 26 '20 at 17:24
