Converts a Scilab object into some corresponding LaTeX, TeX or MathML string(s)
str = prettyprint(a) str = prettyprint(a, exportFormat) str = prettyprint(a, exportFormat, delim) str = prettyprint(a, exportFormat, delim, processByElement) str = prettyprint(a, exportFormat, delim, processByElement, isWrapped)
is a Scilab variable
is the output format. Possible values are 'latex' (default), 'tex', or 'mathml'.
is a string indicating the delimiter to bracket the whole
resulting matrix. It's only used if processByElement is
false. It can be '(' (default), '{', '[', '|', or '||'.
is a boolean: If set to %f (default), the result
str is a single single representing the whole input
matrix. Otherwise, str has as many elements as the input
matrix a.
is a boolean to indicate if the result must be wrapped inside delimiters ('$' for latex and tex or nothing for mathml) to be used with xstring or xtitle. The default value is %T (true).
a single string (if processByElement is %F),
or a matrix of strings otherwise (with size(str)==size(a)):
the representation of the input a.
Taking a variable, the prettyprint function will provide a formatted representation of it. Formats can be TeX, LaTeX or MathML. They can be used in third party applications but also within Scilab with the most of the Scilab graphic features. The following types are handled by this function:
Real / Complex matrices
Polynomial types
Boolean
Integer
String
Tlist
Rational
Cell
str = prettyprint(rand(3,3)) // Return the LaTeX representation of a 3,3 matrix xstring(0.2,0.2,str) // Show the representation in a graphic Windows prettyprint(rand(3,4),"mathml") // Return the MathML representation of a 3,4 matrix prettyprint(rand(3,4),"mathml","[") // Return the MathML representation of a 3,4 matrix with '[' as delimiter s=poly(0,'s'); G=[1,s;1+s^2,3*s^3]; xstring(0.2,0.2,prettyprint(G*s-1)); // Show a polynomial through a LaTeX representation |  |  |
