18 Plasma data engines without writing a Plasma applet.

20 If no options are given, it will start without any data engine
21 selected. The required data engine can be selected from a drop-down
22 list.
23
24 Only installed data engines will be found. kbuildsycoca4 may need to
25 be run for newly-installed data engines to be found.
26
28 --list pixels
29 Displays a list of known engines and their descriptions.
30
31 --height
32 Sets the height of the window, in pixels.
33
34 --width pixels
35 Sets the width of the window, in pixels.
36
37 -x pixels
38 Sets the x (horizontal) co-ordinate of the top left corner of the

45 --engine data engine
46 Start plasmaengineexplorer with the given data engine selected.
47 data engine is the internal name of the data engine given by the
48 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name key of the desktop file.
49
50 --source data engine
51 Only valid in conjunction with --engine. Requests a specific source
52 from the data engine when plasmaengineexplorer is started.
53
54 --interval time
55 Sets the default update interval for requested sources to time
56 milliseconds. If not set, the source will update on demand (for
57 some sources, this will be when new data is available).
58
59 If --source is specified, this is the update interval that will be
60 used when requesting that source.
61
62 --app application
63 Only show engines associated with the parent application; maps to
64 the X-KDE-ParentApp entry in the DataEngine's .desktop file.
65
67 More detailed user documentation is available from help:/plasma-desktop
68 (either enter this URL into Konqueror, or run khelpcenter
69 help:/plasma-desktop).
70
72 Load the time data engine, showing the local time and updating every
73 second:
74
75 plasmaengineexplorer --engine time --source Local --interval 1000
