=== Idea of Space === 

Khipu uses an abstraction of '''space''' in order to save the plots requested by user. A space will have its name and corresponding description from which it can be identified by the user later in time. Khipu has two types of spaces ( 2D and 3D ). User can '''save the plot''' in either of the spaces depending on his/her wish. '''Every space will contain multiple plots''' of different colors, intervals and types.

=== How to plot functions in Khipu ? === 
As mentioned above , Khipu draws functions in Space. So, there are two ways of adding a Space in Khipu based on the plot's dimension. When you are on the main window of Khipu (Dashboard in terms of Khipu's terminology), you will see a '''Main Toolbar''' which contains buttons of '''Add Space 2D''' and '''Add Space 3D'''. User can select either of them depending on the function he/she wants to plot.

==== Plots represented in 2-Dimension ==== 
When the user clicks on Add Space 2D , it will redirect to the 2D space UI. Then , he/she needs to click on the '''green + button''' which will let the user to add a plot. Then , user needs to select a plot's type ( for example , click on '''Graph''' in Cartesian section if you want to plot a sin curve ! ) You can add a plot's name by checking the plot name's check box. Then , user has to '''add an appropriate equation''' (Analitza type Equation) to see it's plot. If you don't want anything else , '''just hit Enter'''. You can even set the color of the plot by changing the option from the list of colors given below.

=== How to edit/remove functions from Khipu ? ===

If you already know your way around your operating system, you probably also know how to start '''Amarok''', and you can [[#First Time|continue]]. Else, continue reading.

If you are running the [[Special:mylanguage/Plasma|Plasma Workspace]], you can start '''Amarok''' by either:
* pressing on [[Special:mylanguage/Kickoff|Kickoff]] and then <menuchoice>Multimedia -> Amarok</menuchoice>.
* invoking [[Special:mylanguage/KRunner|KRunner]] (<keycap>Alt + F2</keycap> by default), entering <code>amarok</code> and then pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap>.

===== From the file manager ===== <!--T:30-->
Open a multimedia file that '''Amarok''' is known to play.

==== First Time ==== <!--T:8-->

<!--T:31-->
The first time you use '''Amarok''', a dialog box will come up asking you to specify your locale:

<!--T:9-->
Next, a First Start dialog box will come up asking you to specify where your music is located.  If you have a music directory already [[Special:mylanguage/System Settings/Account Details#Paths|configured in your system]], '''Amarok''' should detect it and ask you to use it:

<!--T:24-->

See [[Special:mylanguage/Amarok/QuickStartGuide/TheMusicCollection#Setting_up_a_collection|Setting Up a Collection]]

<!--T:13-->
Once you have selected the folder where your music is, '''Amarok''' will scan the folder and sub-folders, creating the collection. This can take some time, depending on the number of tracks and the speed of the location.
