10139N/A<para>Gnome calculator is a desktop calculator. It has been designed to be used with

10139N/Aeither the mouse or the keyboard. It is visually similar to a lot of hand-held

10139N/Acalculators.</para>

11925N/A<para>

11925N/ACalculator has the following modes:

11925N/A</para>

10139N/A<variablelist>

11925N/A<varlistentry>

11925N/A<term>Basic Mode</term>

11925N/A<listitem><para>

11925N/AProvides standard calculator functions. You can store numbers in 10 different

11925N/Amemory registers, and easily retrieve and replace the numbers in the memory

11925N/Aregisters. Basic Mode is the default mode. You can use all of the Basic Mode

11925N/Afunctions in each of the other modes.

11925N/A</para>

10139N/A</listitem></varlistentry>

11925N/A<varlistentry>

11925N/A<term>Financial Mode</term>

11925N/A<listitem><para>

11925N/AProvides several complex financial functions.

11925N/A</para>

10139N/A</listitem></varlistentry>

11925N/A<varlistentry>

11925N/A<term>Scientific Mode</term>

11925N/A<listitem><para>

11925N/AProvides many additional mathematical functions, including trigonometric and

11925N/Alogical functions. You can also store your own functions and constants, when

11925N/Ayou use Scientific Mode.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/A<refsect1 id="gnome-calculator-1-exde"><title>&exde-tt;</title>

10139N/A<para>

11925N/ASome of the calculator keys have menu marks, this indicates that there is a

11925N/Amenu associated with that key.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/A<para>

11925N/AOne of the most important things to remember about gnome-calculator is that

11925N/Acalculations are performed from left to right, with no arithmetic precedence.

11925N/AIf you need arithmetic precedence, then you should use parentheses.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/A<para>

11925N/AInternal arithmetic is now down with multi-precision floating point numbers.

11925N/AAccuracy can be adjusted from zero to nine numeric places in fixed notation,

11925N/Abut numbers can be displayed in engineering and scientific notation as well.

11925N/AThere is also an option to show or remove trailing zeroes after the numeric

11925N/Apoint. The calculator reverts to scientific notation when the number is larger

11925N/Athan the display would allow in fixed notation. In the scientific mode, the

11925N/Abase of operation can be changed between binary, octal, decimal and

11925N/Ahexidecimal. Numbers are initially displayed in fixed notation to nine

11925N/Anumeric places, with trailing zeroes removed, in the decimal base.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/A<para>

11925N/AYou can use the Copy and Paste functions in conjunction with the numeric

11925N/Adisplay to store or retrieve characters from the clipboard. You can also remove

11925N/Athe last digit entered, completely clear the displayed entry and totally reset

11925N/Athe calculator.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/A<para>

11925N/AThere are ten memory registers. Numbers can be stored or retrieved in these

11925N/Alocations, and arithmetic can be performed upon register contents.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/A<para>

11925N/AContext sensitive help is also available. Control-F1 toggles whether a tooltip

11925N/Ais displayed for the item which currently has focus.

10139N/A</para>

10139N/Ain a GConf database. </para>
