Maxima Function
dispterms (expr)
Displays expr in parts one below the other.
That is, first the operator of expr is displayed, then each term in
a sum, or factor in a product, or part of a more general expression is
displayed separately. This is useful if expr is too large to be
otherwise displayed. For example if P1
, P2
, ... are very large
expressions then the display program may run out of storage space in
trying to display P1 + P2 + ...
all at once. However,
dispterms (P1 + P2 + ...)
displays P1
, then below it P2
, etc. When not
using dispterms
, if an exponential expression is too wide to be
displayed as A^B
it appears as expt (A, B)
(or as ncexpt (A, B)
in
the case of A^^B
).
