Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say, hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-) Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18. RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are switching to git. Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
|
|
display - set and/or return decimal digits for displaying numbers
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
display([d])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
d integer >= 0
|
|
|
|
return integer
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
When given an argument, this function sets the maximum number of
|
|
digits after the decimal point to be printed in real or exponential
|
|
mode in normal unformatted printing (print, strprint, fprint) or in
|
|
formatted printing (printf, strprintf, fprintf) when precision is
|
|
not specified. The return value is the previous display digit value.
|
|
|
|
When given no arguments, this function returns the current
|
|
display digit value.
|
|
|
|
The builtin function:
|
|
|
|
display(d)
|
|
display()
|
|
|
|
is an alias for:
|
|
|
|
config("display", d)
|
|
config("display")
|
|
|
|
The display digit value does not change the stored value of a number.
|
|
It only changes how a stored value is displayed.
|
|
|
|
Where rounding is necessary to display up to d decimal places,
|
|
the type of rounding to be used is controlled by config("outround").
