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 in-
     stance 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 im-
     mediately. For instance, the command:

	 gnumeric myfile.gnumeric

     will launch gnumeric and open the file called  "myfile.gnumeric".	The  de-
     fault  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 pix-
	    els. 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  described
	    above.

ADVANCED OPTIONS
   GNOME options
     --disable-sound
	    Disable sound server usage.

     --enable-sound
	    Enable sound server usage.

     --espeaker=HOSTNAME:PORT
	    Host:port on which the sound server to use is running.

     --disable-crash-dialog
	    Disable the bug submission dialog which appears if Gnumeric crashes.

   GTK options
     --gdk-debug=FLAGS
	    Gdk debugging flags to set.

     --gdk-no-debug=FLAGS
	    Gdk debugging flags to unset.

     --sync
	    Make X calls synchronous.

     --name=NAME
	    Program name as used by the window manager.

     --class=CLASS
	    Program class as used by the window manager.

     --gxid_host=HOST
	    The  host  on  which  to contact the gxid daemon. This overrides the
	    GXID_HOST environment variable. This option  is  only  available  if
	    GTK+ has been configured with --gdk-target=x11.

     --gxid_port=PORT
	    The  port  for  the connection to gxid. This overrides the GXID_PORT
	    environment variable. This option is only available if GTK+ has been
	    configured with --gdk-target=x11.

     --gtk-debug=FLAGS
	    Gtk+ debugging flags to set.

     --gtk-no-debug=FLAGS
	    Gtk+ debugging flags to unset.

     --g-fatal-warnings
