Qalculate! GTK+ UI

Image of qalculate-gtk

Qalculate! is a multi-purpose desktop calculator for GNU/Linux (and Mac OS). It is small and simple to use but with much power and versatility underneath. Features include customizable functions, units, arbitrary precision, plotting, and a user-friendly interface (GTK+ and CLI).

##Installation In a terminal window in the top source code directory run

  • ./autogen.sh (not required if using a release source tarball, only if using the git version)
  • ./configure
  • make
  • make install

If libqalculate has been installed in the default /usr/local path you it might be necessary to specify the pkgconfig path when running configure: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

##Requirements

  • GTK+ (>= 3.10)
  • libqalculate 0.9.11

##Features Features specific to qalculate-gtk:

  • Graphical user interface implemented using GTK+-3
  • Flexible expression entry and separate result display
  • Displays whether result is precise or not
  • Small and ... not so small mode
  • Practical menus give fast access to all advanced features
  • Calculation history
  • Optional traditional calculator buttons
  • Dialogs for management of and easy access to functions, variables and units (with quick conversion)
  • User friendly dialogs for functions, with description and entries for arguments
  • Create/edit functions, variables and units
  • Easy editing of matrices and vectors
  • Easy interface to gnuplot
  • Separate window for fast conversion between number bases
  • Periodic table
  • Small separate utilities for base, currency and unit conversion
  • Additional text based interface with full functionality
  • and more...

Features from libqalculate:

  • Calculation and parsing:
    • Basic operations and operators: + - * / ^ E () && || ! < > >= <= != ~ & | << >>
    • Fault-tolerant parsing of strings: log 5 / 2 .5 (3) + (2( 3 +5 = ln(5) / (2.5 * 3) + 2 * (3 + 5)
    • Supports complex and infinite numbers
    • Supports all number bases from 2 to 36, time format and roman numerals
    • Ability to disable functions, variables, units or unknown variables for less confusion: ex. when you do not want (a+b)^2 to mean (are+barn)^2 but ("a"+"b")^2
    • Controllable implicit multiplication
    • Matrices and vectors, and related operations (determinants etc.)
    • Verbose error messages
    • Arbitrary precision
    • RPN mode
  • Result display:
    • Supports all number bases from 2 to 36, plus sexagesimal numbers, time format and roman numerals
    • Many customization options: precision, max/min decimals, multiplication sign, etc.
    • Exact or approximate
    • Fractions: 4 / 6 * 2 = 1.333... = 4/3 = 1 + 1/3
  • Symbolic calculation:
    • Ex. (x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2; 4 "apples" + 3 "oranges"
    • Factorization and simplification
    • Differentiation and integration
    • Can solve most equations and inequalities
    • Customizable assumptions give different results (ex. ln(2x) = ln(2) + ln(x) if x is assumed positive)
  • Functions:
    • All the usual functions: sine, log, etc... : ln 5 = 1.609; sqrt(tan(20) - 5) = sqrt(-2.76283905578)
    • Lots of statistical, financial, geometrical, and more functions (approx. 200)
    • If..then..else function, optional arguments and more features for flexible function creation
    • Can easily be created, edit and saved to a standard XML file
  • Units:
    • Supports all SI units and prefixes (including binary), as well as imperial and other unit systems
    • Automatic conversion: ft + yd + m = 2.2192 m
    • Implicit conversion: 5m/s to mi/h = 11.18 miles/hour
    • Smart conversion: can automatically convert 5 kg*m/s^2 to 5 newton
    • Currency conversion with retrieval of daily exchange rates
    • Different name forms: abbreviation, singular, plural (m, meter, meters)
    • Can easily be created, edit and saved to a standard XML file
  • Variables and constants:
    • Basic constants: pi, e
    • Lots of physical constants and elements
    • CSV file import and export
    • Can easily be created, edit and saved to a standard XML file
    • Flexible, can contain simple numbers, units or whole expressions
    • Data sets with objects and associated properties in database-like structure
  • Plotting:
    • Uses Gnuplot
    • Can plot functions or data (matrices and vectors)
    • Ability to save plot to PNG image, postscript, etc.
    • Several customization options
  • and more...
