Sure... but you still had to script it to get it to work well.

What Numbers does it does well, but sc is more scriptable. It also has 
limits that Numbers does not (we have covered some in the past). In 
short they are made for very different purposes.

The reason I scripted it to was to make it nearly instantaneous.
Here is a completely manual expansion of a 10x10 table to 500x500
(took about 1 minute):

https://pewtube.com/user/owl/Fe8oj6F?autoplay=off

This would be basically the same procedure on a cell phone.  With
a bluetooth keyboard, the times would be nearly identical.  But even
with a software keyboard it would not be an unbearable task, and
I doubt it would take much more than a couple minutes.  On a decent
size phone or tablet, it would be no trouble at all.

SC has some formatting limitations with respect to Numbers.

They are both spreadsheets.  They are made for the same purpose.

Sure. I have no issue with that. And for making such a large 
multiplication table sc is a much better choice because you can control 
it with CLI commands.

The basic premise of the table formatting and layout is different.

They are both spreadsheets, sure, but they are each made with a very 
different focus in terms of use cases.

One is obviously for poster creators, the "other" is for 'the poor folk' ;)

Bit Twister just wiped the floor with God. 

<giggle> 

Enough already. You're again trying to push your ego when you have no skill. You're the dull knife in the drawer and your many idiotic programs show this. 

What is your evidence? Sandman trolls God. Here is a list of names Jonas Eklundh has admitted he attributes to God "Cactus Pete", "Donald", "Donald Miller", "Horace McSwain", "Hymen", "meat", "Mike Weaver", "Modena IV Drid", "Omar Murad Asfour", "Rhino Plastee", "Soapy", "SopwithCamel", "Sunny Day", "Takuya Saitoh", "The Letter Q", "tmelmosfire", "zevon". All total lies, of course. 

I am fanboi of System76, because that's where all the stimulating breakthroughs are happening. 

God is the result of the truth that Democrats have been appointed to be in charge of indoctrinating children. It is not chance that he is a stupid leftist. Bit Twister has a LOT of know-how to teach and he seems to want to write tutorials. Regrettably this is without a doubt the most frustrating medium for doing that because much of response is moaning, lying and other BS.

I know you are joking, but it is amazing to me how often Linux folks 
show they have their ego tied to Linux systems and are insecure about it.

Just weird to me.

Some of the things we have been discussing and have in the past. sc is 
made more for scripting and "heftier" number crunching, and to run 
"light" on a system. Numbers is made more for ease of use, flexibility 
in layout, integration with other media (images and text boxes, as 
examples), and for simple formatting.

As examples of the types of things Numbers is designed for, you can look 
at the templates. Was going to list them here but easier to just show a 
video. :)

Charts and DTP stuff.  I use gnuplot and scribus for that.

SC can do inter-sheet communication with xdotool or tmux.

Sure... but sc is not a good tool for it (of course)

Numbers has it built in. That and multiple tables per sheet, and 
multiple sheets per file.

sc can pipe data to gnuplot, and gnuplot is an excellent tool
for charts.  sc can also export tabular data to be used by scribus.

And Numbers cannot communicate with external sheets/files, while sc can.
And sc can have multiple tables per sheet, as I have repeatedly shown.

Word games does not give it two separate tables. 

See the “magic” sheet I showed for tables that do not line up, for example.

One weakness with Owl's claim, though, is the use of the term "table" is 
not consistent even in the sc man page:

<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html> 

OR <https://goo.gl/kPm434>
     -----
     The spreadsheet calculator sc is based on rectangular tables much
     like a financial spreadsheet. When invoked it presents you with a
     table organized as rows and columns of cells. If invoked without a
     file argument, the table is initially empty.
     -----

THE table. Not tables. Still, technically (even if the documentation is 
not clear), Owl's use of the word "table" is correct... which 
illustrates my point. Numbers and sc are so different than the 
terminology between the two does not make much sense.

sc has a single grid (with cells such as A1 and Z99) that can be called 
a single spreadsheet which can have multiple sections you can refer to 
as tables. Excel allows you to even define these ranges AS tables (maybe 
sc can as well? I do not recall).

Numbers has no real equal to what Excel (and maybe sc) call a 
"spreadsheet" (it can have multiple "A1" cells on a single sheet), even 
though it clearly is a spreadsheet program. It has individual tables 
which are on sheets. Those tables are not tied to each other (though 
they can reference each other's fields). They need not be lined up, and 
in the canvas in which they "float" you can have shapes, images, text, 
or even videos.

So owl is right to note how different the two program are... which was 
my point. :)

It is Numbers that is breaking tradition and redefining things.
SC uses a single sheet, with tables inside the sheet, as does Excel.
But of course sheets are tables, as are all tabular data.

Strange that a spreadsheet app has no concept of a spreadsheet.

And that "canvas" has nothing to do with spreadsheets, so it's just
fluff.  The "spreadsheet" functionality of Numbers is contained within
what its "tables" (which are just sheets).

I note how Numbers is different from traditional spreadsheet apps with
redefinition of a common term.

OK, so sc and Numbers, while both being spreadsheets, are very different 
types of programs... so much so that they do not even use common 
definitions.

I can go with that. Sure.

It has a different "concept" of one. Sure. They are very different types 
of programs. No doubt.

The canvas is not a spreadsheet, but that does not make it "fluff". It 
means it is a very different type of program... one you do not really 
get. I am OK with that. And I also understand at least some of the 
strengths and weaknesses of the two paradigms. Excel is closer to sc in 
terms of types of programs, and I use both Numbers and Excel. I used to 
use vc, which (I think) sc is based on. Been a LONG time since I have 
done so, though.

And the tables in Numbers are not "sheets". Sheets are tabs within a 
single file (though to call them "tabs" would be confusing given how you 
can have different files in tabs in the same window). A sheet can have 
zero, one, or more tables (though generally has at least one).

This is different terminology than you use, of course, because of how 
different the programs are.

The concept of the program is different. It uses the terms in ways which 
make sense but which are not the same as Numbers and sc (which is not to 
say they are wrong, either).

This is similar to how you failed to understand how a text editor and a 
word processor are not the same... even though they have overlaps and 
might use the same terms in somewhat different ways.

From what I understand, when you convert a Numbers file with multiple
tables to Excel, all the Numbers "tables" become separate Excel sheets.
(As they should, because they are, well, sheets :).

Different terminology than I, and the rest of the non-Apple world, use.

The one failing to understand here is you.  And you appear to have
changed your opinion of these things recently.  Previously you were
arguing that Apple's definition of a "table" was the be-all-and-end-all
of table definitions.  As for what constitutes a "word processor,"
all of the so-called word processors are venturing far out into
DTP territory.  They need to stick to "processing words" and get
that right first -- polishing and working out bugs in things like
pagination, sections, etc. -- before worrying about "rotating images."
