NAME

kcalc - KDE Calculator

SYNOPSIS

kcalc [Qt-options] [KDE-options]

DESCRIPTION

KCalc is a scientific calculator for KDE. In addition to the usual functionality offered by most scientific calculators, KCalc offers a number of features:

-

KCalc provides trigonometric functions, logic operations, and it is able to do statistical calculations.

-

KCalc allows you to cut and paste numbers from/into its display.

-

KCalc features a results-stack which lets you conveniently recall previous results.

-

You can configure KCalc's display colors and font.

-

You can configure KCalc's precision and the number of digits after the period.

-

KCalc offers a great number of useful key-bindings, which make using KCalc without using a pointing device easy.

Hint: Pressing (and holding) the Ctrl-key, displays on every button, the corresponding key-binding.
