 <para>&khipu; uses an abstraction of <emphasis>space</emphasis> 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 <emphasis>save the plot</emphasis> in either of the spaces depending on his/her wish. <emphasis>Every space will contain multiple plots</emphasis> of different colors, intervals and types.

 <para>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 <guilabel>Main Toolbar</guilabel> which contains buttons of <guilabel>Add Space 2D</guilabel> and <guilabel>Add Space 3D</guilabel>. User can select either of them depending on the function he/she wants to plot.

 <sect1 id="playing-with-plot-dictionary"><title>Playing with Plot Dictionary</title>
 <sect2 id="what-is-a-plot-dictionary-"><title>What is a Plot Dictionary?</title> 
 <para>A plot dictionary is a kind of text file (<filename role="extension">.plots</filename>) which contains a name of a plot along with its equation. The basic idea of dictionary files is to add plots in &khipu; without actually typing big equations. User can add the plots based on its name using the dictionaries. We already have some predefined dictionaries which let a user enter some famous plots (&ie; curves and surfaces). User can even download the dictionaries using Internet.
 </para>
 <sect3 id="syntax"><title>Syntax</title> 
 <para>A syntax of a dictionary file follows &analitza; syntax. Every line in a file will contain a name and the corresponding equation.
 </para>
 <para>For example: A typical dictionary file would have lines as follows:
 </para>
 <itemizedlist>
 <listitem><para>sinus := x-&gt;sin x</para></listitem>
 <listitem><para>plane1 := (x, y, z)-&gt;(x+y+z)-1</para></listitem>
 </itemizedlist>
 </sect3>
 <sect3 id="adding-your-own-dictionary-file"><title>Adding your own dictionary file</title> 
 <para>The flexible &analitza; syntax would allow the user to create his/her own dictionary file! User needs to save a text file with <filename role="extension">.plots</filename> extension with correct plot name and equations in each line.

 <para>One of the key advantage of &khipu; is to have <emphasis>some other useful functionaries</emphasis> to deal with the mathematical function's plotting apart from just plotting them. The various application actions and other features make &khipu; more user-friendly.
 </para>
 <sect3 id="new-open-save-saveas"><title>New/Open/Save/SaveAs</title>
 <para>The normal actions of New, Open, Save and SaveAs allow the users to work with different sessions and <emphasis>saving their work in persistence files (<filename role="extension">.khipu</filename> files)</emphasis> which he/she can open later in time. The persistence file follows a <emphasis>QJson file format</emphasis> which saves important information from the current session.
