NAME

       plasmaengineexplorer - Provides direct access to plasma data engines

SYNOPSIS

       plasmaengineexplorer [--height pixels] [--width pixels] [-x pixels] [-y pixels] [--engine name] [--source name] [--interval ms]

       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

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

       --source name
	      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.

EXAMPLES

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

	      plasmaengineexplorer --engine time --source Local --interval 1000
