 Description

Using of Draw functions and options would be much easier if their names and synthax would be known to the dynamic assistant.

For functions: display a prototype and explain the meaning of the arguments

for options: explain the meaning and the possible values.

First step would be to find out how to set the doc strings without actually defining the right hand side, as these names should be transferred unchanged to Maxima. Then the actual texts have to be specified. A good starting point is the pdf handbook.

It is not really implemented in the plugin but as a replacement you can use the Draw description snippet. If you install this, you can insert a collapsed area region by typing "draw". This region contains dummy definitions of functions and variables with descriptions in english and german for all draw graphics objects and options (well, for most).
