NAME

       gnumeric - a GNOME spreadsheet application.

SYNOPSIS

       gnumeric [OPTIONS] [files ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Gnumeric is a powerful spreadsheet program created by the GNOME project. Gnumeric intends to compete with commercial spreadsheets by becom-
       ing fully compatible with Microsoft Excel(TM) and through the support of most popular spreadsheet file formats  such  as  Excel(TM),  Lotus
       1-2-3(TM), Applix(TM), Sylk(TM), XBase(TM), Oleo(TM) and OpenOffice.org formats.

       Gnumeric  supports  advanced calculations using statistical, financial and database access functions. Plotting data is supported through an
       incomplete but powerful plotting system. A plugin system extends gnumeric ,  for  instance  enabling  the  export  of  data  to	the  LaTeX
       longtable  format. Plugins can be used to define custom functionality. A rudimentary scripting API for the Python language exists and will
       be extended in the near future. Since gnumeric is free software, gnumeric can also be extended directly at the source  code  level  by  any
       competent programmer.

       The  program can be started from the command line as gnumeric or from one of the menus provided by the underlying platform. When started on
       the command line, gnumeric may be followed by the options listed below and possibly the names of files in various spreadsheet formats which
       will then be opened immediately. For instance, the command:

	   gnumeric myfile.gnumeric

       will  launch  gnumeric  and open the file called "myfile.gnumeric". The default gnumeric file format is in extensible markup language (XML)
       which subsequently has been compressed with gzip.

USER OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with single letter options starting with a single dash  (`-')  and  longer  options
       starting with two dashes (`--').

   Help options
       -?, --help Show help message.

       --usage
	      Displays a brief usage message.

   Gnumeric options
       -v, --version
	      Displays the version number of the installed instance of gnumeric.

       --no-splash
	      Start gnumeric without showing the splash screen.  The splash screen is normally shown if loading files takes too long.

       -L, --lib-dir=STRING
	      Set the root library directory to STRING which should be a pathname.

       -D, --data-dir=STRING
	      Adjust the root data directory to STRING which should be a pathname.

   Options for window placement
       -g, --geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF
	      Set the size and position of the first window. All units are in pixels. The X offset is from the left hand side of the screen, the Y
	      offset is from the top of the screen. For example, -g=800x600+20+30 will open a gnumeric window 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels  high,
	      with  the  left  edge  of  gnumeric 20 pixels from the left of the screen and the top edge of gnumeric 30 pixels from the top of the
	      screen.

       --display=DISPLAY
	      X display to use, where DISPLAY has the form machinename:Xdisplay.Screen. Note  that  the  machine  displaying  gnumeric	must  have
	      granted the machine running gnumeric the right to display (see xhost).

       --screen=SCREEN
	      X screen to use, a more compact form of the functionality described above.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

   GNOME options
       --disable-sound
	      Disable sound server usage.

       --enable-sound
	      Enable sound server usage.

       --espeaker=HOSTNAME:PORT
	      Host:port on which the sound server to use is running.

       --disable-crash-dialog
	      Disable the bug submission dialog which appears if Gnumeric crashes.
