5 .TH GNUMERIC 1 "2009-02-08" gnumeric "GNOME"
7 gnumeric \- a GNOME spreadsheet application.
10 \fBgnumeric\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIfiles\fR \fI...\fR ]
13 \fBGnumeric\fR is a powerful spreadsheet program created by the GNOME
14 project. \fBGnumeric\fR intends to compete with commercial
15 spreadsheets by becoming fully compatible with Microsoft Excel(TM) and
16 through the support of most popular spreadsheet file formats such as
17 Excel(TM), Lotus 1-2-3(TM), Applix(TM), Sylk(TM), XBase(TM),
18 Oleo(TM) and OpenOffice.org formats.
20 \fBGnumeric\fR supports advanced calculations using statistical,
21 financial and database access functions. Plotting data is supported
22 through an incomplete but powerful plotting system. A plugin system
23 extends \fBgnumeric\fR , for instance enabling the export of data to
24 the LaTeX \\longtable format. Plugins can be used to define custom
25 functionality. A rudimentary scripting API for the Python language
26 exists and will be extended in the near future. Since \fBgnumeric\fR
27 is \fBfree\fR software, \fBgnumeric\fR can also be extended directly
28 at the source code level by any competent programmer.
30 The program can be started from the command line as \fBgnumeric\fR or
31 from one of the menus provided by the underlying platform. When started
32 on the command line, \fBgnumeric\fR may be followed by the options listed
33 below and possibly the names of files in various spreadsheet formats
34 which will then be opened immediately. For instance, the command:
36 gnumeric myfile.gnumeric
38 will launch \fBgnumeric\fR and open the file called
39 "myfile.gnumeric". The default \fBgnumeric\fR file format is in
40 extensible markup language (XML) which subsequently has been
41 compressed with \fBgzip\fR.
44 This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with single
45 letter options starting with a single dash (`-') and longer options
46 starting with two dashes (`--').
53 Displays a brief usage message.
55 .SS "Gnumeric options"
58 Displays the version number of the installed instance of
62 Start \fBgnumeric\fR without showing the splash screen. The splash
63 screen is normally shown if loading files takes too long.
65 \fB\-L, \-\-lib-dir=\fR\fISTRING\fR
66 Set the root library directory to STRING which should be a pathname.
68 \fB\-D, \-\-data-dir=\fR\fISTRING\fR
69 Adjust the root data directory to STRING which should be a pathname.
71 .SS "Options for window placement"
73 \fB\-g, \-\-geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF
74 Set the size and position of the first window. All units are in
75 pixels. The X offset is from the left hand side of the screen, the Y
76 offset is from the top of the screen. For example, \-g=800x600+20+30
77 will open a gnumeric window 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high, with
78 the left edge of gnumeric 20 pixels from the left of the screen and
79 the top edge of gnumeric 30 pixels from the top of the screen.
81 .B \fB\-\-display=\fR\fIDISPLAY\fR
82 X display to use, where DISPLAY has the form
83 machinename:Xdisplay.Screen. Note that the machine displaying gnumeric
84 must have granted the machine running gnumeric the right to display
88 .B \fB\-\-screen=\fR\fISCREEN\fR
89 X screen to use, a more compact form of the functionality described
