           Summary: Enhance koffice to do numeric calculations
           Product: koffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: koffice kde org
        ReportedBy: bradh frogmouth net


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It would be nice if koffice could do simple numeric calculations, so it could take the results of a number of different text or formula objects and produce (for display) some other number.

Simple example:
I've been doing laser safey calculations. It mostly ends up being the same formulas (over and over) with different values being substituted. Imagine you have a formula flake (eqn1). You then say range = 10m, beam dispersion = 1mrad, beam diameter = 10mm, and then add a flake that references those other four flakes (3 values + formula) and prints the answer (in this case dot size = 20mm).

If you change the value for the range to 20m, the result changes to 30mm.

I might want to add another case (i.e. three separate values = 1000m , 0.5rad, 1cm) and reuse the same formula.

I might then want to take the dot size, and use that as an input to another calculation (e.g. for radiant exitence, which depends on the dot size).

I'm not sure if it belongs in kformula, or in a separate type of flake.
