           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.
