Note that the built-in TeX output functionality of wxMaxima makes no use of the functions described here but uses its own implementation instead.
Prints a representation of an expression suitable for the TeX document preparation system. The result is a fragment of a document, which can be copied into a larger document but not processed by itself.
tex (expr) prints a TeX representation of expr on the
console.
tex (label) prints a TeX representation of the expression named by
label and assigns it an equation label (to be displayed to the left of the
expression). The TeX equation label is the same as the Maxima label.
destination may be an output stream or file name. When destination
is a file name, tex appends its output to the file. The functions
openw and opena create output streams.
tex (expr, false) and tex (label, false)
return their TeX output as a string.
tex evaluates its first argument after testing it to see if it is a
label. Quote-quote '' forces evaluation of the argument, thereby
defeating the test and preventing the label.
Examples:
(%i1) integrate (1/(1+x^3), x);
2 x - 1
2 atan(-------)
log(x - x + 1) sqrt(3) log(x + 1)
(%o1) - --------------- + ------------- + ----------
6 sqrt(3) 3
(%i2) tex (%o1);
$$-{{\log \left(x^2-x+1\right)}\over{6}}+{{\arctan \left({{2\,x-1
}\over{\sqrt{3}}}\right)}\over{\sqrt{3}}}+{{\log \left(x+1\right)
}\over{3}}\leqno{\tt (\%o1)}$$
(%o2) (\%o1)
(%i3) tex (integrate (sin(x), x));
$$-\cos x$$
(%o3) false
(%i4) tex (%o1, "foo.tex");
(%o4) (\%o1)
tex (expr, false) returns its TeX output as a string.
(%i1) S : tex (x * y * z, false); (%o1) $$x\,y\,z$$ (%i2) S; (%o2) $$x\,y\,z$$
Returns a string which represents the TeX output for the expressions e. The TeX output is not enclosed in delimiters for an equation or any other environment.
Examples:
(%i1) tex1 (sin(x) + cos(x)); (%o1) \sin x+\cos x
Assign the TeX output for the atom a, which can be a symbol or the name of an operator.
texput (a, s) causes the tex function to interpolate
the string s into the TeX output in place of a.
texput (a, f) causes the tex function to call the
function f to generate TeX output. f must accept one argument,
which is an expression which has operator a, and must return a string
(the TeX output). f may call tex1 to generate TeX output for the
arguments of the input expression.
texput (a, s, operator_type), where operator_type
is prefix, infix, postfix, nary, or nofix,
causes the tex function to interpolate s into the TeX output in
place of a, and to place the interpolated text in the appropriate
position.
texput (a, [s_1, s_2], matchfix) causes the tex
function to interpolate s_1 and s_2 into the TeX output on either
side of the arguments of a. The arguments (if more than one) are
separated by commas.
texput (a, [s_1, s_2, s_3], matchfix) causes the
tex function to interpolate s_1 and s_2 into the TeX output
on either side of the arguments of a, with s_3 separating the
arguments.
Examples:
Assign TeX output for a variable.
(%i1) texput (me,"\\mu_e"); (%o1) \mu_e (%i2) tex (me); $$\mu_e$$ (%o2) false
Assign TeX output for an ordinary function (not an operator).
(%i1) texput (lcm, "\\mathrm{lcm}");
(%o1) \mathrm{lcm}
(%i2) tex (lcm (a, b));
$$\mathrm{lcm}\left(a , b\right)$$
(%o2) false
Call a function to generate TeX output.
(%i1) texfoo (e) := block ([a, b], [a, b] : args (e),
concat("\\left[\\stackrel{",tex1(b),"}{",tex1(a),"}\\right]"))$
(%i2) texput (foo, texfoo);
(%o2) texfoo
(%i3) tex (foo (2^x, %pi));
$$\left[\stackrel{\pi}{2^{x}}\right]$$
(%o3) false
Assign TeX output for a prefix operator.
(%i1) prefix ("grad");
(%o1) grad
(%i2) texput ("grad", " \\nabla ", prefix);
(%o2) \nabla
(%i3) tex (grad f);
$$ \nabla f$$
(%o3) false
Assign TeX output for an infix operator.
(%i1) infix ("~");
(%o1) ~
(%i2) texput ("~", " \\times ", infix);
(%o2) \times
(%i3) tex (a ~ b);
$$a \times b$$
(%o3) false
Assign TeX output for a postfix operator.
(%i1) postfix ("##");
(%o1) ##
(%i2) texput ("##", "!!", postfix);
(%o2) !!
(%i3) tex (x ##);
$$x!!$$
(%o3) false
Assign TeX output for a nary operator.
(%i1) nary ("@@");
(%o1) @@
(%i2) texput ("@@", " \\circ ", nary);
(%o2) \circ
(%i3) tex (a @@ b @@ c @@ d);
$$a \circ b \circ c \circ d$$
(%o3) false
Assign TeX output for a nofix operator.
(%i1) nofix ("foo");
(%o1) foo
(%i2) texput ("foo", "\\mathsc{foo}", nofix);
(%o2) \mathsc{foo}
(%i3) tex (foo);
$$\mathsc{foo}$$
(%o3) false
Assign TeX output for a matchfix operator.
(%i1) matchfix ("<<", ">>");
(%o1) <<
(%i2) texput ("<<", [" \\langle ", " \\rangle "], matchfix);
(%o2) [ \langle , \rangle ]
(%i3) tex (<<a>>);
$$ \langle a \rangle $$
(%o3) false
(%i4) tex (<<a, b>>);
$$ \langle a , b \rangle $$
(%o4) false
(%i5) texput ("<<", [" \\langle ", " \\rangle ", " \\, | \\,"],
matchfix);
(%o5) [ \langle , \rangle , \, | \,]
(%i6) tex (<<a>>);
$$ \langle a \rangle $$
(%o6) false
(%i7) tex (<<a, b>>);
$$ \langle a \, | \,b \rangle $$
(%o7) false
Customize the TeX environment output by tex.
As maintained by these functions, the TeX environment comprises two strings:
one is printed before any other TeX output, and the other is printed after.
Only the TeX environment of the top-level operator in an expression is output; TeX environments associated with other operators are ignored.
get_tex_environment returns the TeX environment which is applied
to the operator op; returns the default if no other environment
has been assigned.
set_tex_environment assigns the TeX environment for the operator
op.
Examples:
(%i1) get_tex_environment (":=");
(%o1) [
\begin{verbatim}
, ;
\end{verbatim}
]
(%i2) tex (f (x) := 1 - x);
\begin{verbatim}
f(x):=1-x;
\end{verbatim}
(%o2) false
(%i3) set_tex_environment (":=", "$$", "$$");
(%o3) [$$, $$]
(%i4) tex (f (x) := 1 - x);
$$f(x):=1-x$$
(%o4) false
Customize the TeX environment output by tex.
As maintained by these functions, the TeX environment comprises two strings:
one is printed before any other TeX output, and the other is printed after.
get_tex_environment_default returns the TeX environment which is
applied to expressions for which the top-level operator has no
specific TeX environment (as assigned by set_tex_environment).
set_tex_environment_default assigns the default TeX environment.
Examples:
(%i1) get_tex_environment_default ();
(%o1) [$$, $$]
(%i2) tex (f(x) + g(x));
$$g\left(x\right)+f\left(x\right)$$
(%o2) false
(%i3) set_tex_environment_default ("\\begin{equation}
", "
\\end{equation}");
(%o3) [\begin{equation}
,
\end{equation}]
(%i4) tex (f(x) + g(x));
\begin{equation}
g\left(x\right)+f\left(x\right)
\end{equation}
(%o4) false
