QxCalculator A scriptable calculator


QxCalculator for Windows(TM)...

...is a scriptable 'calculator' front end, which you can use to make a limited set of mathematical calculations. It sort of has the same capabilities as a 'normal', 'basic', 'handheld' calculator, except for its scriptability which can perform many calculations provided that the syntax is correct.

Editing a qxcalc calculator file in gVim on Windows(TM)






It doesn't do the maths for you, but it may help you to do the maths.

With the calculator you can make calculations, save your work to file, export your work to XML, LaTeX, and to HTML. You may want to make calculations, save them, and come back to them at a later time.

When using latex files you need a package supporting pdflatex, which is not required when using HTML files. For HTML output you can view the generated page in the browser, e.g. the above power.calc.html.

For version control of your work, e.g. when working in a group with others, the best advice is to use CVS, SVN, GIT, or similar for version control of the qxcalc script files.

The user interface below can be used with the calculator, but is not strictly required. The calculator may be used without user interface. Using the CLI there is a syntax highlight file for the vim editor(calculator.vim).

A few screencaps of QxCalculator on Windows XP (win32)(2021-02-26)

Two MDI windows/script views open. The left hand side of each MDI window is the script view, the right hand side is the results view. The MDI windows have buttons for doing various operations.
To use the QxCalculator calculator GUI is very easy. The left hand side of a QxCalculator MDI window is the script view, to the right in the QxCalculator MDI window is the results view. You use the calculator by declaring variables, and writing equations with these variables in the script view. These equations are then calculated by running the script, and the results are visible in the right hand side, results view. You may embed HTML tags and LaTeX tags in the script view prepended with '#!!'. They are copied verbatim to the results view.
