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 sup-
       port  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  gnu-
       meric  ,	 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 gnu-
	      meric.

       --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:Xdis-
	      play.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 de-
	      scribed above.
