Xforms Calculator The Xforms Calculator is a programmable scientific GUI calculator for X-based systems that have the Xforms GUI library. It has most things that one would expect from such a calculator, including the ability to handle hexadecimal, decimal, octal and binary numerical representation, degree, gradient and radian angle representation, a full suite of logarithmic and triganometrical functions (including hyperbolic functions), a full suite of bit-manipulation operations, and, of course standard arithmetic operations and functions. All standard operations and functions have keyboard shortcuts associated with them, and the current display value is Copy/Paste-able. Two special features of the calculator are: It is extensible. You can invoke external user-written functions as part of a computation. There is a user-amendable menu of mathematical and physical constants (such as Pi and Avogadro's constant). Comprehensive online usage and programming help is provided, as are sample external functions.
