<p>DeskCalc is a simple calculator that nevertheless has some nice features that aren't apparent on first sight.</p>
<img src="../../images/apps-images/deskcalc.png" alt="deskcalc.png" width="230" height="171" />
<ul>
<li><p>DeskCalc understands much more than its simple keypad suggests.<br />
Besides the operators <tt>+</tt>, <tt>-</tt>, <tt>*</tt>, <tt>/</tt>, <tt>%</tt>, <tt>^</tt> and the constants <tt>pi</tt> and <tt>e</tt> the following math functions are supported:<br />
<tt>acos</tt>, <tt>asin</tt>, <tt>atan</tt>, <tt>atan2</tt>, <tt>ceil</tt>, <tt>cos</tt>, <tt>cosh</tt>, <tt>exp</tt>, <tt>floor</tt>, <tt>log</tt>, <tt>log10</tt>, <tt>pow</tt>, <tt>sin</tt>, <tt>sinh</tt>, <tt>sqrt</tt>, <tt>tan</tt>, <tt>tanh</tt>.</p></li>
* Added input tolerance of DeskCalc, moved Terminal function to end of list * Added CodyCam to list of apps in applications.html * Added aligning tip for icons to tracker.html * Added a few tips for working in Terminal * Added a topic on scripting, linking to online resources * Described function of UserBootscript an shutdown scripts git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29105 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<li><p>When it comes to user input, DeskCalc is quite tolerant:<br />
<tt>/</tt>, <tt>:</tt>, <tt>\</tt> are all interpreted as division operators,<br />
<tt>*</tt>, <tt>x</tt> are valid symbols for multiplication.<br />
Also, be aware that <tt>.</tt> and <tt>,</tt> are both considered floating points, which means you mustn't use them as 1000 separators.</p></li>
<li><p>Right-clicking offers these options:</p>

<li><p>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 <span class="menu">Show Replicants</span> is activated in the Deskbar.</p></li>
<li><p>The keypad can be colored with a drag&amp;drop from any color well, e.g. from <span class="app">Icon-O-Matic</span>.</p></li>
* Added DiskProbe * Changed cursor keys to their respective arrow symbol * As mmadia reminded me: since we cannot use Mozilla's Trademarks I renamed everythig firefoxy to BeZillaBrowser. git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29398 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<li><p>You can select DeskCalc's contents and drag&amp;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.</p>
<p>Even better, the reverse is also possible:<br />
Create clippings as described at various stages of your calculation and go back to them by drag&amp;dropping them back into DeskCalc.<br />
Or you drag&amp;drop a calculation directly out of an email onto DeskCalc.</p></li>

<li><p>DeskCalc can be used in Terminal. Just put the expression in double quotes, like this:</p>
<pre class="terminal">~> DeskCalc "sin(45)*(cos(12)+3.45)"
