Not sure OOCalc is the best tool to use but if i were making such a table I would write a program that would print LaTeX to and ASCII file. That way perfect typesetting and nice equations including pretty over bars. I dont mean to sound critical, I was just thinking how I would do it.

So the table would span from 0° to 90° with some intricate way of labeling columns. The 0 ° ≤ θ ≤ 90° values should be given with a sort of "bar-notation" and, say, four-places rounding. > > If I find a way to automate this "bar-notation" with OOCalc - I'll surely make such a table. > > Any hints on such automation? > > Regards, > > Tony > > 60°N 30°E > > PS > > I'm still not convinced in usefulness of such complication! > >
