Well, it's not that I don't want them to be implemented. That's for sure,
what I meant is that it's too easy to talk about using another technology,
but easy to get it wrong.

For starters, Geogebra will have their functions in a specific format and
you'll want to translate it to KAlgebra's, at least. How?

Also I never understood why don't you want to use Analitza for plotting and
then rendering in the scene within Kig instead of having two different
views. Isn't the whole point to be able to have the plots interact with the
rest of the elements in the scene?
