NExS Engineering Spreadsheet v1.6
Vendor: GreyTrout Software Inc
Compatibility
NExS is an advanced spreadsheet designed specifically for the X Windows environment. It has an intuitive user interface and requires only a few keystrokes or mouse clicks to analyze data and present the results with graphs ranging from simple line plots to 3D surfaces. The NExS spreadsheet provides a flexible visual environment in which to handle complex calculations and data manipulations. It calculates a full range of mathematical, statistical, matrix and string functions, all with the ease of a familiar spreadsheet format with point-and-click screen displays and pull-down menus. NExS is a step up to live action, capable of sending and receiving data and commands from other X Windows programs, even on other computers, and automatically recalculating sheets and graphs to reflect the changes. This capability allows NExS to monitor and display data from multiple sources as it is calculated and to pass this information to other programs in a real-time environment. Using the NExS application program interface (API), a client/server application can be fully integrated with the spreadsheet, appearing to the user as a single unified application. This Connections API lets a program remotely control all aspects of the spreadsheet, including drawing graphs, printing, and calculating.
