DESCRIPTION

17       plasmaengineexplorer is a graphical tool allowing developers to test
18       Plasma data engines without writing a Plasma applet.
19
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

OPTIONS

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
39           window, in pixels.
40
41       -y pixels
42           Sets the y (vertical) co-ordinate of the top left corner of the
43           window, in pixels.
44
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.

74
75           plasmaengineexplorer --engine time --source Local --interval 1000
