Description : Light-weight GTK and curses based spreadsheet
(Include the long description here.)
See picture: http://www.gnu.org/software/oleo/oleo1.png
Oleo has for a long time been GNU's spreadsheet. Now there's not only
Oleo but also Gnumeric, the GNOME spreadsheet. Gnumeric is a full
featured spreadsheet, aiming to compete with commercial applications,
and well integrated with GNOME. Oleo is a light-weight spreadsheet
that'll work in almost any environment.
Oleo features a curses based interface (character mode), but also a
LessTif (Motif) based graphical user interface. A screenshot of the
Motif GUI is here (11K png file).
The current snapshots implements the following 2.0 features :
- Motif/LessTif interface, based on the XbaeMatrix widget
- Access to the statistics functions of the GSL (GNU Scientific Library).
- Support for opening multiple spreadsheets, each in a Motif window,
at the same time.
- device independent graphics through GNU plotutils, replacing the
older gnuplot interface
- more portable build through autoconf and automake
- internationalised (i18n)
- updated documentation
- ANSI C code (removed K&R stuff)
- filter mode (read file from stdin, save to stdout)
- better SYLK support
- improved printing (PostScript and PCL)
- database access (MySQL and DBF files)
- SciPlot graphics (Motif/LessTif only)
- cleaned up internals
- runs in character mode as well as in a GUI
- interface to CUPS to browse available printers
