# Introduction

&kmplot; is a mathematical function plotter for the &kde; Desktop. It has a powerful built-in parser. You can plot different functions simultaneously and combine them to build new functions.

Examples Examples

&kmplot; supports parametric functions and functions in polar coordinates. Several grid modes are supported. Plots may be printed with high precision in the correct scale.

&kmplot; also provides some numerical an visual features like:

- Filling and calculating the area between the plot and the first axis

- Finding maximum and minimum values

- Changing function parameters dynamically

- Plotting derivatives and integral functions.

These features help in learning the relationship between mathematical functions and their graphical representation in a coordinate system.
