+.SH NAME
+kmatplot \- A Gnuplot-like tool for plotting data sets in 2D or 3D.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kmatplot
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page briefly documents
+.B KMatplot.
+This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
+because the original program does not have a manual page.
+.PP
+.B KMatplot
+is a Gnuplot-like tool for plotting data sets in either two or
+three dimensions. It can plot many types of 2d plots, including pixmaps
+and contours, and 3d surfaces. It offers a full WYSIWYG mode with
+multiple objects on a single page.
+
+As opposite to Gnuplot,
+.B KMatplot is very clickable, so easier to use for unexperienced users.
+It can be used instead of Gnuplot with Octave and Scilab (although the
+Debian package is not built with Scilab support by default) - there are
+new dll functions installed in those packages, which communicate with
+.B KMatplot
+through a Unix socket. Those functions are named 'kplot', 'kimage',
+kmesh', and are similar to those found in Octave by default.
+
+Example plots can be found in the Help menu of the program. Help for
+many of the Octave functions can be found within Octave, for example:
+"help kplot", "help kaddaxes".
+
+.SH AUTHOR
+This manual page was written by Hugo van der Merwe <hvdm@debian.org>,
+for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
