Question

I want to create a new Menu in the admin panel of WordPress for my new plugin. Just like ‘Tools’, ‘Users’, ‘Settings’, I want a new item, ‘My Plugin’.
I’m aware of the function add_menu_page(), but how do I use it?

What is the code for doing this?

For how-to on add_menu_page() follow this link. For most of the wordpress function you can use codex. Eg/

add_menu_page($page_title, $menu_title, $access_level, $file, $callback_function, $icon_url);
