compactMatrixForm -- global flag for compact printing
Synopsis
Usage:
compactMatrixForm = x
Consequences:
changes the display of matrices
Description
compactMatrixForm is a global flag that specifies whether to display matrices in compact form.
The default value is true. The compact form is the form used by Macaulay, in which the multiplication and exponentiation operators are suppressed from the notation.
i1 : R = ZZ[x,y];
i2 : f = random(R^{2},R^2)
o2 = {-2} | 5xy 4x2+2xy+6y2 |
1 2
o2 : Matrix R <--- R
i3 : compactMatrixForm = false;
i4 : f
| 2 2 |
o4 = | 5x*y 4x + 2x*y + 6y |
1 2
o4 : Matrix R <--- R
