CALCOO(1) Calcoo Manual Page CALCOO(1)NAME
Calcoo - scientific calculator (GTK+).
SYNOPSIS
calcoo [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
Calcoo is a scientific calculator designed to provide maximum usability. The features that make Calcoo attractive are:
* bitmapped button labels and display digits to improve readability
* no double-function buttons - you need to click only one button for any operation (except for arc-hyp trigonometric functions)
* undo/redo buttons
* both RPN and algebraic modes
* display marks to separate thousands
* copy/paste interaction with the X clipboard
* two memory registers with displays
* displays for Y, Z, and T registers
OPERATION
Like in a regular calculator. Settings (switching between RPN and algebraic modes, rounding, RPN stack behavior) can be accessed by press-
ing the button labelled "!". The button labelled "?" brings up the help/info window.
OPTIONS
Calcoo accepts the following command-line options:
-h, --help
Show summary of options and exit.
-v, --version
Print version number and exit.

gnome-calculator, gcalctool - perform basic, financial, and scientific calculations
SYNOPSIS
gnome-calculator | gcalctool [-a accuracy] [-D] [-E] [-v] [gnome-std-options]
DESCRIPTION
Gnome calculator is a desktop calculator. It has been designed to be used with either the mouse or the keyboard. It is visually similar to
a lot of hand-held calculators.
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
Some of the calculator keys have menu marks, this indicates that there is a menu associated with that key.
One of the most important things to remember about gnome-calculator is that calculations are performed from left to right, with no arith-
metic precedence. If you need arithmetic precedence, then you should use parentheses.
Internal arithmetic is now down with multi-precision floating point numbers. Accuracy can be adjusted from zero to nine numeric places in
fixed notation, but numbers can be displayed in engineering and scientific notation as well. There is also an option to show or remove
trailing zeroes after the numeric point. The calculator reverts to scientific notation when the number is larger than the display would
allow in fixed notation. In the scientific mode, the base of operation can be changed between binary, octal, decimal and hexidecimal. Num-
bers are initially displayed in fixed notation to nine numeric places, with trailing zeroes removed, in the decimal base.
You can use the Copy and Paste functions in conjunction with the numeric display to store or retrieve characters from the clipboard. You
can also remove the last digit entered, completely clear the displayed entry and totally reset the calculator.
There are ten memory registers. Numbers can be stored or retrieved in these locations, and arithmetic can be performed upon register con-
tents.
Context sensitive help is also available. Control-F1 toggles whether a tooltip is displayed for the item which currently has focus.
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/showthousands
Values: true, false (false)
Description: Whether fixed numbers in the decimal base are
displayed with thousands separated.
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
The following options are supported:
-a accuracy Specifies the number of digits displayed after the numeric point. This value must be in the range 0 to 9.
-D Enable debug mode.
-E Enable debug mode in the multiple-precision arithmetic package.
-v Show the version number and usage information.
gnome-std-options Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.
