-&LabPlot; is a program for two-dimensional graphical presentation of data
-sets and functions. &LabPlot; allows you to work with multiple plots which each can have multiple
-graphs. The graphs can be produced from data or from functions.
+&LabPlot; is a KDE-application for interactive graphing and analysis of scientific data. &LabPlot; provides an easy way to create, manage and edit plots.
 </para>
 
 <para>
-All settings of a complete set of plots can be saved in a project files.
-These project files may be opened by command
-line parameters or using the <link linkend="file-menu">File menu</link>.
-</para>
-
-<para>The settings of a plot/graph can be changed using the properties panel. With &LabPlot; menus, additional data sets and functions (graphs) can be included which can be
-displayed in the same as well as in different plot.
