GAMMALN is currently in Category 'Statistical'. But in
OpenFormula-v1.2-draft9.odt (which is the most current) it is in chapter
'6.15 Mathematical Functions'. GAMMA is an expansion of factorials to
real numbers.
Shall I
(1) Put GAMMA into 'Statistical' too
or
(2) Put GAMMA into 'Mathematical' and leave GAMMALN unchanged
or
(3) PUT GAMMA and GAMMALN both into 'Mathematical'?
(3) wouldn't be an option as long as we don't decide to reorganize the
categorization, which David also mentioned. The current categorization
lists functions for Excel compatibility, so people find the functions
where they are used to.
I think (1) would be best as all 4 GAMMA* functions would be grouped
together, pointing the user to the existence of the new GAMMA function.
Even if that would add to the "improper" categorization. Putting only
GAMMA into Mathematical and leaving GAMMALN in Statistical could be
somewhat confusing, I guess.
Does the GAMMA function need a name in Resource
RID_SC_FUNCTION_NAMES_ENGLISH?
Yes, as those names are used to store in ODF <1.2 format. Also the
XFunctionAccess API still uses them for compatibility.
If yes, which name should be used? In
general, where can I find which names are the correct ones for ODF v1?
For new functions simply use the name as defined in ODFF. Older OOo
versions not knowing a function wouldn't be able to compile and
interpret the formula anyway.
