It's actually a "Smith Chart" it's a special sort of diagram used in
electromagnetism, to calculate the correct impedance to compensate a cable.

As you see, it's quite specific, and it's difficult to make it more clear,
I'll change "Smith charting" for "making Smith charts" that seems to sound
a bit better, in the short desc, and make the long desc a bit more
descriptive.

This is what it looks like right now:

Description: a program to make Smith Charts, mainly designed for educational use A Smith Chart is a tool used in electronics and electromagnetism to
 calculate the impedance necessary to compensate a certain transmission line.
 .
 linSmith is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use.
  As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing
 the effect of'-style of operation.
 .
 It's main features are:

If you have any better suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
