DeskCalc is a simple calculator that nevertheless has some nice features that aren't apparent on first sight.
DeskCalc understands much more than its simple keypad suggests.
Besides the operators , -, *, /, %, ^ and the constants pi and e the following math functions are supported:
!, acos, asin, atan, atan2, cbrt, ceil, cos, cosh, exp, floor, log, log10, pow, sin, sinh, sqrt, tan, tanh.Right-clicking offers these options:
Automatically activates the number block when launching DeskCalc. Switch between "rad" and "deg" as unit for angular measure. ALT 0 A minimal view mode that hides the keypad. ALT 1 The standard look of DeskCalc. ALT 2 Show additional buttons for advanced calculations. When it comes to user input, DeskCalc is quite tolerant:
/, :, \ are all interpreted as division operators,
*, x are valid symbols for multiplication.
Also, be aware that . and , are both considered floating points, which means you mustn't use them as 1000-separators.You can resize the calculator until it fits your needs and then put it as Replicant onto the Desktop via drag & drop of the symbol in the bottom right corner. Make sure is activated in the Deskbar.
The keypad can be colored with a drag & drop from any color well, e.g. from Icon-O-Matic.
You can move up and down in a history of past calculations with ↑ and ↓.
You can select DeskCalc's contents and drag & drop it into any application. Or you drop it into a Tracker window or onto the Desktop and a text file with that clipping is created there.
Even better, the reverse is also possible:
Create clippings as described at various stages of your calculation and go back to them by drag & dropping them back into DeskCalc.
Or you drag & drop a calculation directly out of an email onto DeskCalc.DeskCalc can be used in Terminal. Just put the expression in double quotes, like this:
~> DeskCalc "sin(45)*(cos(12)+3.45)" 3.65365546732025461817951947270058
Note: Used in the Terminal, DeskCalc will always use radians as unit for these trigonometric functions.
