Re: [BLUG] Gnumeric fun: Dual-core/Quad-core comparison

:-) It will accept imports from Gnumeric files. Pretty cool. And
you can export to Gnumeric too. I tried making the same spreadsheet
using just their tools and it doesn't seem possible to do some of the
more complex graphing features. But if you upload a gnumeric
spreadsheet, it preserves most of those features. The ratio graph
didn't preserve its lines properly. Oh well. This is the one I tried
to make manually:

Its neat that it updates the spreadsheet in real time for the people
viewing it. And you can chat. Web OS here we come.

Re: [BLUG] Gnumeric fun: Dual-core/Quad-core comparison

Yes, I think Gnumeric is much better than OOo Calc. Gnumeric was part
of an effort to make a suite of office applications for Gnome. AbiWord
was also part of that. Gnumeric doesn't make it as straightforward to
make a graph, but once you figure out the graph tree structure, you can
do quite a bit. Like I just revised the Price per GHz/core graph so
that it includes the ratio graph with a second y-axis at a different
scale. It took me a bit to figure out how to associate the second plot
with the y-axis2.

Appearently http://www.editgrid.com/ uses Gnumeric as a backend or as
a code base. Looks pretty neat.

Re: [BLUG] Gnumeric fun: Dual-core/Quad-core comparison

That's pretty neat. The main (real) reason our teachers don't want to
give up the MS Office is that OOo Calc doesn't do more than multi-line
graphs. It looks like Gnumeric wins soundly on that account.
