DESCRIPTION

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
21       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
31       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
37           gnumeric myfile.gnumeric
38
39       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.

USER OPTIONS

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
49
50   Help options
51       -?, --help Show help message.
52
53       --usage
54              Displays a brief usage message.
55
56
57   Gnumeric options
58       -v, --version
59              Displays the version number of the installed  instance  of  gnu‐
60              meric.
61
62       --no-splash
63              Start  gnumeric  without  showing the splash screen.  The splash
64              screen is normally shown if loading files takes too long.
65
66
67   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
77       --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
83
84       --screen=SCREEN
85              X  screen  to  use,  a  more  compact  form of the functionality
86              described above.
