What is a .XTM file?
The file extension .XTM represents an Xtremsplit Data File. This type of file is typically created by a program called CmapTools, which is used for organizing and visualizing knowledge in a visual format. The content of an .XTM file includes both graphical elements and text, which together form a concept map. This concept map helps in understanding and connecting ideas or information visually.
However, it's important to note that the .XTM file does not contain any information about the visual layout, style, or background images. These aspects are not saved within the .XTM file itself.
To view or edit an .XTM file, you can use the IHMC CmapTools program. This software is specifically designed to work with files created by CmapTools and can handle the graphical and textual data contained in .XTM files. If you receive an .XTM file, you can use IHMC CmapTools to open it and see the concept map as intended by the creator.
Additionally, the .XTM file format allows for the reconstruction of the original file by the recipient, independent of the sender. This means that once you have the .XTM file, you can recreate the original concept map using IHMC CmapTools without needing any additional files or information from the sender.
