I'm curious if there is a location where you can view the extent what a given Plugin 'does'. Short of Enabling a Given Plugin and viewing those new functions and checking new options, I am not aware of a resource that Outlines all that a Plugin is capable of.

I know this is a loaded question, but any guidance is appreciated.


Conceptual Example of what I am looking for (note, this 'plugin' in the example does not exist):
Name of Plugin: TrigPackage
Author: Some Guy
Version: xxx
Description: Contains Trig Functions

FUNCTIONS:
1: sin(x)
- DESC: Trig Function; Sin; Opposite over Hyp.
- (IN) x as angle (unit = degree/radians)
- (OUT) double - unitless
2: tan(x)
- DESC: Trig Function; Opposite over Adjacent
- (IN) x as angle (unit = degree/radians)
- (OUT) double - unitless; throws error if 90deg

TOOLBARS:
1: [INSERT] MENU
-> [INSERT GRAPH WITH SIN CURVE]



Any ideas?

Thank You,
Kenny

Typically, the most reliable source of information is the forum (subforum extensions). Usually, the author of a plugin also opens a topic there.

Also, some of the authors might maintain the extension page on the SMath website just like this.

Some information on plugins is also found in the interactive handbook.
