NAME

plasmaengineexplorer − Provides direct access to plasma data engines

SYNOPSIS

	plasmaengineexplorer [−−list] [−−height pixels] [−−width pixels] [−x pixels] [−y pixels] [−−engine data engine] [−−source data engine] [−−interval ms] [−−app application]
	plasmaengineexplorer [KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]

DESCRIPTION

plasmaengineexplorer is a graphical tool allowing developers to test Plasma data engines without writing a Plasma applet.

If no options are given, it will start without any data engine selected. The required data engine can be selected from a drop−down list.

Only installed data engines will be found. kbuildsycoca4 may need to be run for newly−installed data engines to be found.

OPTIONS

−−list pixels

Displays a list of known engines and their descriptions.

−−height

Sets the height of the window, in pixels.

−−width pixels

Sets the width of the window, in pixels.

−x pixels

Sets the x (horizontal) co−ordinate of the top left corner of the window, in pixels.

−y pixels

Sets the y (vertical) co−ordinate of the top left corner of the window, in pixels.

−−engine data engine

Start plasmaengineexplorer with the given data engine selected. data engine is the internal name of the data engine given by the X−KDE−PluginInfo−Name key of the desktop file.

−−source data engine

Only valid in conjunction with −−engine. Requests a specific source from the data engine when plasmaengineexplorer is started.

−−interval time

Sets the default update interval for requested sources to time milliseconds. If not set, the source will update on demand (for some sources, this will be when new data is available).

If −−source is specified, this is the update interval that will be used when requesting that source.

−−app application

Only show engines associated with the parent application; maps to the X−KDE−ParentApp entry in the DataEngine's .desktop file.

EXAMPLES

Load the time data engine, showing the local time and updating every second:

plasmaengineexplorer −−engine time −−source Local −−interval 1000

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
