# 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 several different types of plots:

- Explicit cartesian plots of the form y = f(x).

- Parametric plots, where the x and y components are specified as functions of an independent variable.

- Polar plots of the form r = r(&thgr;).

- Implicit plots, where the x and y coordinates are related by an expression.

- Explicit differential plots.

&kmplot; also provides some numerical and 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.
