+<para>&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.</para>

+<para>&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.</para>
+
+<para>&kmplot; also provides some numerical and visual features like:</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Filling and calculating
+the area between the plot and the first axis</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>Finding maximum and
+minimum values</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>Changing function parameters dynamically</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>Plotting
+derivatives and integral functions.</para>
+</listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>These features help in learning the
+relationship between mathematical functions and their graphical
+representation in a coordinate system.</para>
