NAME dtcalc - The CDE Calculator SYNOPSIS dtcalc [-a accuracy] [-m mode] [-b numeric_base] [-notation display_notation] [-trig trigonometric_type] [-no_menu_bar] [-session session_file] [-?] DESCRIPTION The dtcalc utility is a calculator for use within the CDE. It provides an easy-to-use interface designed to give access to common arithmetic and financial calculations. The calculator is designed to operate in much the same way as many hand-held calculators. It provides three modes of operation: scientific, financial, and logical. The default operation is scientific, but with the easy-to-use GUI, changing to the modes of operation is easy. When the opera- tion mode is changed, a number of the keys change for the new operations. OPTIONS The dtcalc utility defines a number of command-line options that allow the user to configure how the calculator displays itself. Command-line options have a higher precedence than resources. By using command-line options a user can over- ride anything specified in a resource file. -a <accuracy> This is the initial number of digits displayed after the numeric point. This value must be in the range 0 to 9. The default value is 2. -m <mode> This determines which mode the calculator will display itself in. The possible values for <mode> are: scientific, finan- cial, or logical. Scientific is the default mode. Some of the calculator keys change operations when the calculator's mode is changed. -b <numeric_base> This determines which numeric base the calculator will use when it does calcula- tions. There are four bases the calcula- tor supports: binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10), or hexadecimal (base 16). The possible values for <numeric_base> are: binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal. The default is decimal. -notation <display_notation> This determines how the answers are to be displayed on the calculator. The possible values for <display_notation> are: scien- tific, engineering, or fixed. The default is fixed. -trig <trigonometric_type> This determines how answers are presented when the calculator is in scientific mode. The possible values for <trigonometric_type> are: degrees, radi- ans, or gradients. The default is degrees. -no_menu_bar This option makes the calculator come up with no menubar. -session <session_file> The dtcalc utility runs with the session file specified in the session_file parame- ter. Session files are generated as a dtcalc session shuts down. -? This prints out the usage message. RESOURCES The calculator supports a number of resources which make it much more configurable. Following is the list of supported resources and their default values. Client Resource Set Name Class Type Default ________________________________________________________ postMenuBar PostMenuBar Boolean True accuracy Accuracy int 2 base Base string decimal displayNotation DisplayNotation string fixed mode Mode string scientific trigType TrigType string degrees Dtcalc*postMenuBar: Specifies whether the menu bar should appear or not. Dtcalc*accuracy: Specifies whether the menu bar should appear or not. Dtcalc*base: This resource allows the user to change the default for the numeric base the cal- culator uses when it does its calcula- tions. The default is "decimal" which is base 10. Possible values are: binary (or bin): do calculations in base 2. octal (or oct): do calculations in base 8. decimal (or dec): do calculations in base 10. hexadecimal (or hex): do calculations in base 16. Dtcalc*display: This resource allows the user to change the default for the way answers are displayed on the calculator. The default is "fixed". Possible values are: fixed (or fix): display in fixed mode. scientific (or sci): display in scientific mode. engineering (or eng): display in engineer- ing mode. FILES /usr/dt/bin/dtcalc This is the executable for the CDE Calcu- lator. /usr/dt/app-defaults/<LANG>/Dtcalc This file includes the application defaults for the CDE Calculator.
