An object-oriented spreadsheet for Windows
http://www.abykus.com/
Abykus is a unique new spreadsheet that adds an exciting new dimension to
the classic 'what-if' analysis. While electronic spreadsheets have
undergone many important changes over the years, they remain pretty much
what they've always been - giant ledger sheets capable of storing a single
value or formula in each cell. Abykus extends this concept by allowing
objects (i.e. matrixes, tables, coordinates, polygons, profiles,
cross-sections, etc.) to be stored in individual cells, which makes the
spreadsheet especially well suited for scientific applications that
require complex data types, such as those often encountered by land
surveyors and civil engineers. Using a powerful set of integrated
functions, objects can either stand alone or be used as building blocks to
create other objects.
Abykus also includes a powerful script language, similar to the C
programming language, that lets users create their own routines that look
and behave like built-in functions. Scripts are easy to maintain and
share, since they are created and stored in external library files as
opposed to being imbedded in the worksheets that access them.
Another important difference that distinguishes this spreadsheet from
others is the manner in which cells are addressed. The standard "A1" cell
naming convention has been replaced with a significantly more powerful
notation. Instead of using a confusing combination of letters and numbers
to identify a cell's position on a worksheet, numbers (i.e. algebraic
expressions) or even other cell addresses are used to represent both the
cell's row and column position. This powerful, yet intuitive new
convention makes it possible to manipulated data in ways never before
thought possible.
