GNUMERIC(1) GNOME GNUMERIC(1)

NAME

gnumeric - a GNOME spreadsheet application.

SYNOPSIS

gnumeric [OPTIONS] [files ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Gnumeric is a powerful spreadsheet program created by the GNOME
project. Gnumeric intends to compete with commercial spreadsheets by
becoming fully compatible with Microsoft Excel(TM) and through the
support of most popular spreadsheet file formats such as Excel(TM),
Lotus 1-2-3(TM), Applix(TM), Sylk(TM), XBase(TM), Oleo(TM) and
OpenOffice.org formats.

Gnumeric supports advanced calculations using statistical, financial
and database access functions. Plotting data is supported through an
incomplete but powerful plotting system. A plugin system extends
gnumeric , for instance enabling the export of data to the LaTeX
\longtable format. Plugins can be used to define custom
functionality. A rudimentary scripting API for the Python language
exists and will be extended in the near future. Since gnumeric is
free software, gnumeric can also be extended directly at the source
code level by any competent programmer.

The program can be started from the command line as gnumeric or from
one of the menus provided by the underlying platform. When started on
the command line, gnumeric may be followed by the options listed
below and possibly the names of files in various spreadsheet formats
which will then be opened immediately. For instance, the command:

gnumeric myfile.gnumeric

will launch gnumeric and open the file called "myfile.gnumeric". The
default gnumeric file format is in extensible markup language (XML)
which subsequently has been compressed with gzip.

USER OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with single
letter options starting with a single dash (`-') and longer options
starting with two dashes (`--').

Help options

-?, --help Show help message.

--usage
Displays a brief usage message.

Gnumeric options

-v, --version
Displays the version number of the installed instance of
gnumeric.

--no-splash
Start gnumeric without showing the splash screen. The splash
screen is normally shown if loading files takes too long.

Options for window placement

-g, --geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF
Set the size and position of the first window. All units are
in pixels. The X offset is from the left hand side of the
screen, the Y offset is from the top of the screen. For
example, -g=800x600+20+30 will open a gnumeric window 800
pixels wide by 600 pixels high, with the left edge of gnumeric
20 pixels from the left of the screen and the top edge of
gnumeric 30 pixels from the top of the screen.

--display=DISPLAY
X display to use, where DISPLAY has the form
machinename:Xdisplay.Screen. Note that the machine displaying
gnumeric must have granted the machine running gnumeric the
right to display (see xhost).


--screen=SCREEN
X screen to use, a more compact form of the functionality
described above.
