print polynomial with *'s for multiplications
StarPrint(F:POLY):NULL
StarPrintFold(F:POLY, LineWidth:INT)
|
These functions print the polynomial F with asterisks added to denote
multiplications. They may be useful when cutting and pasting from
CoCoA to other mathematical software (Gap, Maple, Macaulay, Singular,..).
StarPrint inserts newline characters (only between terms) to avoid
lines much longer than about 70 characters. If a different
approximate maximum length is desired this may be specified as the
second argument to StarPrintFold; a negative value means no line
length limit.
Use R ::= QQ[x,y];
F := x^3+2xy-y^2;
StarPrint(F);
1*x^3+2*x*y-1*y^2
-------------------------------
StarPrintFold(F,0); -- this will print one term per line
1*x^3
+2*x*y
-1*y^2
-------------------------------
