	<title>Scripting &kmplot;</title>
	<para>A new feature in &kde; 3.4 is that you can write scripts for &kmplot; using &DBus; in &kde; 4. For example, if you want to define a new function <userinput>f(x)=2sin x+3cos 
x</userinput>, set its line width to 20 and then draw it, you type in a console:</para>
	<para><command>qdbus org.kde.kmplot-PID /parser org.kde.kmplot.Parser.addFunction "f(x)=2sin x+3cos x" ""</command>
		As a result, the new function's id number will be returned, or -1 if the function could not be defined.</para>
	<para><command>qdbus org.kde.kmplot-PID /parser org.kde.kmplot.Parser.setFunctionFLineWidth ID 20</command>
		This command sets the function with the id number ID the line width to 20.</para>
	<para><command>qdbus org.kde.kmplot-PID /view org.kde.kmplot.View.drawPlot</command>
	This command repaints the window so that the function get visible.</para>
