NAME

       gnome-calculator, gcalctool - perform basic, financial, and scientific calculations

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-calculator [-a accuracy] [-D] [-E] [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION

       The Calculator application is multifunctional and can handle different types of mathematical approaches.

       Calculator has the following modes:

       Basic Mode	       Provides standard calculator functions. You can store numbers in 10 different memory registers, and easily retrieve
			       and replace the numbers in the memory registers. Basic Mode is the default mode. You can use all of the Basic  Mode
			       functions in each of the other modes.

       Financial Mode	       Provides several complex financial functions.

       Scientific Mode	       Provides  many additional mathematical functions, including trigonometric and logical functions. You can also store
			       your own functions and constants, when you use Scientific Mode.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       On startup, Calculator uses the following configuration resources stored in a GConf database.

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/accuracy
       Values:	      Accuracy value
       Description:   The number  of  digits  displayed  after	the
		      numeric  point.  This  value  must  be in the
		      range 0 to 9.

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/base
       Values:	      Numeric Base
       Description:   The initial numeric base.  Valid	values	are
		      "BIN"  (binary),	"OCT" (octal), "DEC" (deci-
		      mal), and "HEX" (hexadecimal).

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/display
       Values:	      Display mode
       Description:   The initial display mode.  Valid	values	are
		      "ENG" (engineering), "FIX" (fixed-point), and
		      SCI" (scientific).

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/mode
       Values:	      Mode
       Description:   The initial calculator mode. Valid values are
		      "BASIC", "FINANCIAL", and "SCIENTIFIC".

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/showzeroes
       Values:	      true, false (true)
       Description:   Whether  to  show  trailing  zeroes after the
		      numeric point in the display value.

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/showregisters
       Values:	      true, false (true)
       Description:   Whether to display the memory register window
		      when Calculator starts.

       Resource:      /schemes/apps/gcalctool/trigtype
       Values:	      Trig. type
       Description:   The  initial trigonometric type. Valid values
		      are  "DEG"  (degrees),  "GRAD"  (grads),	and
		      "RAD" (radians).

       Any constants or functions that the user defines are also stored in the GConf database.

OPTIONS
