14 Gnumeric is a powerful spreadsheet program created by the GNOME
15 project. Gnumeric intends to compete with commercial spreadsheets by
16 becoming fully compatible with Microsoft Excel(TM) and through the sup‐
17 port of most popular spreadsheet file formats such as Excel(TM), Lotus
18 1-2-3(TM), Applix(TM), Sylk(TM), XBase(TM), Oleo(TM) and OpenOffice.org
19 formats.
20 Gnumeric supports advanced calculations using statistical, financial
22 and database access functions. Plotting data is supported through an
23 incomplete but powerful plotting system. A plugin system extends gnu‐
24 meric , for instance enabling the export of data to the LaTeX
25 \longtable format. Plugins can be used to define custom functionality.
26 A rudimentary scripting API for the Python language exists and will be
27 extended in the near future. Since gnumeric is free software, gnumeric
28 can also be extended directly at the source code level by any competent
29 programmer.
30 The program can be started from the command line as gnumeric or from
32 one of the menus provided by the underlying platform. When started on
33 the command line, gnumeric may be followed by the options listed below
34 and possibly the names of files in various spreadsheet formats which
35 will then be opened immediately. For instance, the command:
36 gnumeric myfile.gnumeric
38 will launch gnumeric and open the file called "myfile.gnumeric". The
40 default gnumeric file format is in extensible markup language (XML)
41 which subsequently has been compressed with gzip.
42
45 This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with single
46 letter options starting with a single dash (`-') and longer options
47 starting with two dashes (`--').
48 Help options
51 -?, --help Show help message.
52 --usage
54 Displays a brief usage message.
55 Gnumeric options
58 -v, --version
59 Displays the version number of the installed instance of gnu‐
60 meric.
61 --no-splash
63 Start gnumeric without showing the splash screen. The splash
64 screen is normally shown if loading files takes too long.
65 Options for window placement
68 -g, --geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF
69 Set the size and position of the first window. All units are in
70 pixels. The X offset is from the left hand side of the screen,
71 the Y offset is from the top of the screen. For example,
72 -g=800x600+20+30 will open a gnumeric window 800 pixels wide by
73 600 pixels high, with the left edge of gnumeric 20 pixels from
74 the left of the screen and the top edge of gnumeric 30 pixels
75 from the top of the screen.
76 --display=DISPLAY
78 X display to use, where DISPLAY has the form machinename:Xdis‐
79 play.Screen. Note that the machine displaying gnumeric must have
80 granted the machine running gnumeric the right to display (see
81 xhost).
82 --screen=SCREEN
85 X screen to use, a more compact form of the functionality
86 described above.
87
