XQuad is a spreadsheet application designed for the numerical data processing. It
allows users to arrange data and charts according to their preference.
XQuad permit import and manual entry of numerical and alphanumerical data into spreadsheets.
A spreadsheet is an array containing boxes that are named cells and are organised by coordinates. Each cell is an intersection of a row and a column. Lines are numbered from 1 to 100,000. Columns are "numbered" by letters series from A to ZZ (702 columns). When you put together the row coordinate and the column coordinate, you have the cell coordinates.
Besides numerical and alphanumerical data, cells can also contains formulas. There is one of the great advantages of spreadsheet applications: you can reference several cells and combine theirs values thanks to theirs coordinates. These links are dynamics, so any value modification of a referenced cell cause the automatic update of the referring cells.
XQuad can also make charts and graphs from the values of a spreadsheet area. Graphs are also dynamically linked to the values of this spreadsheet area.
