💖 GRPN(1) — the GTK+ Reverse Polish Notation Calculator 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the grpn(1) manual page, and lemme tell you, she's a calculator and she's serving. ✨

grpn — GTK+ reverse polish notation calculator

that's it. that's the name. short, sweet, iconic. 💅

grpn [-fn font] [-btn-fn font] [-disp-fn font] [-rows n] [-cols n] [-b]
     [-bm dec|eng|bin|oct|hex]

look at her. all those little flags. she's so versatile it's giving main character energy. 🦋

GRPN is a RPN calculator for the X Window system, built using the GIMP Toolkit (GTK+). no cap, that's literally what it is. 🫶

and bestie, she does NOT just do plain numbers. she works with:

matrices AND complex matrices?? she ate and left no crumbs. 😭

Numbers can be displayed in 4 different radix modes, and complex numbers can be displayed in either Cartesian or polar form. the range?? unmatched. 💜

and yeah, to say it plainly: grpn is a GTK+ reverse polish notation calculator. ✨

here's the whole flag menu, bestie. every single one. no skipping, that's the rule. 👑

-b — don't draw the buttons. yeah, literally no buttons. just vibes. 🙈
-bm basemode — start in basemode, and basemode can be dec, eng, bin, oct, or hex. pick your fighter. 🍓
-rows n — display (a minimum of) n rows. minimum. she can go bigger. 🔥
-cols n — display (a minimum of) n columns. same energy, other axis. ⭐
-btn-fn font — use font for the buttons and the menu bar. 💅
-disp-fn font — use font for the main display. ✨
-fn font — specifies both -btn-fn and -disp-fn. one flag, two jobs, she's efficient like that. 🧚

say thank you to Paul, bestie, he built the whole thing. 🫶

and that's the page!! this was GRPN from the GRPN manual, April 2002 — yeah she's an elder icon and she still slays. mwah. 💖✨🎀🦋
