+Kst (KDE4 Plotting Tool)
+
+Kst is the fastest real-time large-dataset viewing and plotting tool available and has built-in data analysis functionality.
+Kst is very user-friendly (both the community and the program itself!).
+Kst contains many powerful built-in features and is expandable with plugins and extensions.
+Kst is licensed under the GPL, and is as such freely available for anyone.
+Note that KDE libraries are an optional dependency (i.e. you can run Kst without KDE,
+but you get additional features when running on a platform with KDE).
+
+Optional dependencies are:
+- gsl (a lot of very useful data analysis plugins are based) - RECOMMENDED
+- netcdf (which provides support for files in the netCDF format)
+- muParser (which is used in the general non-linear fitting plugin)
+- GetData (which provides support for files in the Dirfile format)
+- matio (which is used to read Matlab binary files)
