Xcalc

Version: 2.73

by: moird, Dridzt

Xcalc is a fairly basic calculator that allows mathematical equations to be entered via the console
or by using the GUI calculator interface.

Xcalc is based off of QuickCalc by Mark Ribau. A good portion of the code has been rewritten, and
the GUI has been completely rewritten.

Usage
slash commands

/xcalc
/calc
/=

Clicking the minimap icon or typing the command without parameters opens the xcalc GUI.
Numpad keys can be remapped to the calculator keys when the GUI is visible if that option is selected.
Shift-Enter with the GUI visible opens chat and Shift-Click on result inserts it to chat editbox.

Xcalc supports computing expressions from the command line.
This is accessed by typing out one of the slash commands with the expression following the slash command.

Math operators
+ - * / ^ ( ) (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, power, grouping)
Special Keyword:
ans - Will return the last answer given from using the slash commands

Math Functions
Reference at Wowpedia.

Money strings

#.#g
#.#s
#c
#g#s#c
#g#s
#g#c
#s#c

Examples

/calc 2 + 2
xcalc Result: 2 + 2 = 4
/calc 3.5g
xcalc Result: 3.5g = 3g50s
/calc (3.5g + 50s) * 2
xcalc Result: (3.5g + 50s) * 2 = 8g
/calc 4g / 5
xcalc Result: 4g / 5 = 80s

v2.73
.toc update, compatible with WoW 5.4 "Siege of Orgrimmar"

v2.72
Hide an auto-keybind that shouldn't be visible in Blizzard keybind options.
.toc update, compatible with WoW 5.3 "Escalation"

v2.71
Fix error when exiting combat with auto-keybind option enabled and not used xcalc GUI for the session.

v2.7
General maintenance: remove unintended globals, reduce string garbage generation, replace deprecated getglobal/setglobal API.
Bugfixes: Chat printing, Shift-linking result from calculator to chat now works.
Bugfixes: Properly implement automatic keybindings, they will no longer hijack keys when the calculator is not visible or fail to set/clear in combat.
Enhancement: Xcalc automatic keybinds won't clutter up Blizzard keybind interface.
Enhancement: Mac specific keybinds should also be functioning.
GUI: Tooltip hint for result linking,
GUI: ElvUI theme for ElvUI users.
.toc update, compatible with WoW 5.2 "Thunder Isle".

v2.3
Updated toc

v2.2
Minor Fixes
moved global variables out of localization and added them to xcalc namespace
two functions missed being in the main namespace fixed now
Created xcalc namespace to reduce global namespace pollution
Added proper check with addons_loaded
Comments and cleanup
Minor issue with right clicking minimap menu
Changed Vairables_loaded to addon_loaded and moved it into xcalc.lua

general code cleanup
Changed how all the buttons are done. Some cleanup left to do
changing how the main buttons get created
Changed more string.find into a reasonable layout.
More work on the one method to deal with key inputs
forgot xcalc_ in front of a function call, that is fixed. Started redoing string.find calls to be a bit cleaner
Made some changes to the key handling system, setting up a more generic key handler

2.1.18

Dridzt A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1360 File comments: 829 Uploads: 55	small request Excellent mod, went straight to my "must have" list. I do have a small feature request. My minimap area is congested. You have placed your icon off-setted from the minimap which will probably be out of the way for most users... however it's not so in my case (I do have a lot of minimap icons and monkey buddy is at the exact spot) Any chance to make the minimap button movable or configurable? [edit]: edited out some portions of my post containing proposed code changes. (cosmetic) Last edited by Dridzt : 08-28-06 at 08:25 AM.

moird A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 8 Uploads: 1	Re: small request There are already plans for something similiar, I was going to put in an options page with the ability to not auto set the keybindings, have a slider for the minimap icon position, as well as a check box to hide the minimap icon all together... But as this is my first ever mod and I am still learning the lua and xml it might be a little while before I get all that completed, but it is forth coming.

My account has been down for a while now, but I just got it back up so I will be releasing an updated version within the week I am sure.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	Dridzt's suggested changes to v2.01 don't work and create errors at logon, causing the mod to die. Recommend doing your own coding, moird, to make sure things work well before updating this great mod . Did the suggested change at line 141, which is replace: xcalc_minimapbutton_updateposition(); with: if (xcalc_minimap_button) then xcalc_minimapbutton_updateposition(); else xcalc_minimap_init(); end And also replaced instances of math.mod with math.fmod on the following lines: 511, 515, 521, 525, 530 & 533. Doing the above creates the following errors at logon and the mod doesn't load: "xcalc\\xcalc.lua:281: '=' expected near '?'" "<string>:\"xcalc_core:OnEvent\":1: attempt to call global 'xcalc_initialize' (a nil value)" Of course, I triple-checked the edits. And did it with WoW exited as opposed to doing it in-game then reloading the UI. Without these changes (using the original v2.01 files), no errors and no large problems here so far.

Dridzt A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1360 File comments: 829 Uploads: 55	Zidomo, that error line is totally irrelevant so you obviously searched / replaced other things in 2.01 as well. (If the mod was working just fine in your Addons folder there was no reason to mess with it) Lua 5.1 incompatibilities to previous versions Direct your attention to the 5th bullet of 7.2 math.mod needs to be replaced with math.fmod and it is not a matter of author coding preference. That the mod author will make the changes HE finds beneficial to his mod is kinda self-evident. I merely pointed out parts of the code where I could see a problem and posted changes I did to my local copy to illustrate it. I did not suggest them for verbatim inclusion. (I find it preferable to the usual all inclusive comment which is "this mod doesn't work" even when further investigation reveals that it was suffering a minor issue) 2.03 works error-free "out ot the box" for me, thanks for the update Last edited by Dridzt : 01-02-07 at 10:00 PM.

Wrong. "...I triple-checked the edits.". If other things were modified, I would have mentioned them. Mentioning errors without mentioning all changes made to the mod is unprofessional, thus it was not done. And others enjoy testing mods in a rigorous fashion, irregardless if they actually need to or not.

Never said it was "author coding preference". The point of the post was to provide testing feedback on specific coding suggestions made by someone else. Irregardless of whether said changes are (in either theory or common practice) the right thing to do or not.

And I merely pointed out--after thorough testing I had done after making the exact changes suggested--that there was a problem with the mod after those changes were implemented on my local copy. A problem which prevented the mod from being accessed. And I provided full details. So I don't really see what the issue is here

.

The updated Xcalc 2.03 works without problems/errors so far here as well.

Re: aha

it is like that, because 100 copper = 1 silver and 100 silver = 1 gold
so technically speaking the calculator is performing the calculation properly.
because 400*20 = 8000
and in reality, I could program a check into the calculator to prevent such calculations from being performed in the first place, but haven't gotten around to it yet...

For example (and therea re many of those): Num5 is used to Follow a target in my WoW. When I oparate the addon - that function is erased. Isn't there any way to make the keybinds be used for the calc when it's open, and for my normal functions when it's closed?

Re: Keybind problem

That is how it is suppose to function and how it has functioned... if I have some more time I will look into it.

There are lots of programs that can correctly handle complicated unit calculations (for example, type 2 ft * 3 m into google and it will return 1.8288 m^2). The dimensionally correct result would be
4g*20s = 400s*20s = 8000s^2 = 0.8g^2
and it should be reasonably easy to implement this in a domain where there's only 1 dimension...but why bother? I can't imagine any reason why anyone would ever multiply two amounts of money. Probably 4g*20s should just return "User error! WTF were you thinking?"
