Ubuntu – Command line calc program and PI constant

calculatorcommand line

I am using calc often (from the terminal) and I was wondering if there is a PI constant in there, predefined, somewhere?

Best Answer

If you are talking about calc from the apcalc package the constant Pi is defined like this:

pi()

note, the parentheses are used even though the function does not take any arguments.

not too clear for the GUI desktop calculator,gcalctool, either, which is: Ctrl+P

LibreOffice Calc – How to Recalculate Using Terminal Command

RANDBETWEEN will recalculate automatically when the file is open. So create the following macro in My Macros, which simply saves and then quits.

Sub Recalculate()
   'ThisComponent.calculateAll()  ' Not needed
   ThisComponent.store()
   ThisComponent.close(True)
   dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
   dispatcher.executeDispatch(StarDesktop, ".uno:Quit", "", 0, Array())
End Sub

Then run the macro from the command line as described here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7295/how-to-invoke-an-openoffice-macro-from-the-linux-command-line.

However, despite the --invisible flag, the LibreOffice window will still appear. To keep it invisible, pass the filename as a parameter to the macro, and then call loadComponentFromUrl: https://superuser.com/questions/1135850/how-do-i-run-a-libreoffice-macro-from-the-command-line-without-the-gui.
