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.

       More detailed user documentation is available from help:/plasma-desktop (either enter this URL into
       Konqueror, or run khelpcenter help:/plasma-desktop).

EXAMPLES

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

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