These conversion operations behave differently in decimal and complex modes:
In decimal mode, the cartesian coordinate pair (X:Y) and the polar coordinate pair (r;f) are stored in the register pair (X:Y).
In complex mode, the real and imaginary parts of register X only are used.
XCALC contains a keyboard that can be operated with the mouse, giving access to most functions. This keyboard will change according to which radix you select XCALC to operate in.
Most of the keys should be self-explanatory. If not, tooltips are provided, hopefully giving enough help. The tooltips also show the keyboard shortcuts in brackets. Using the keyboard is generally much faster, and is of course recommended… (Note: Ctrl-F1 will give you quick help with the keyboard mapping.)
Here are quick explanations to some of the less “normal” keys:
