I've noticed an f(x) button in calculator's (gcalctool) advanced mode. The button opens a drop-down list with some predefined functions. Is it possible to define more?
I don't see an f(x) button, but in scientific mode there is a 'Fun' button with a drop down list. Initially this is empty except for an 'Edit Functions...' button. If you click this, you can edit the functions 0 to 9.
If you do something like this:
,
selecting F0 from the function list will add2 to your answer. For more details, see the Gcalctool help:
There doesn't seem to be a way to define a function in the traditional sense (where you define f(x) to be a transformation of x into another value)
If you press F1 and read the help page about functions it says: “GCalctool does not support user-defined functions.”, so I guess the answer is no.
Of course you can propose additions to the program's developer(s) or write your own patch to add more functions.

Nope, but you can install Qalculate, it's a nice calculator with a lot of options and functions.
Here a screencapture.
