I was actually looking for a simpler way to display 1D output (Format1D).
It can be easily done via
print1D x ==> display((x::OutputForm)::Formatter(Format1D))
Studying whether we can sensibly include such a function into FriCAS
(not the topic of the mail), I stumpled over "PrintPackage".
PrintPackage() : with
print : OutputForm -> Void
++ print(o) writes the output form o on standard output using the
++ two-dimensional formatter.
== add
print(x) == print(x)$OutputForm
I somehow fail to see what advantage it has. Why another "print"
function if eventually, a value of any type has to be converted to
OutputForm anyway and so print$OutputForm could be used directly?
Also the SpecialOutputPackage is somewhat useless.
(215) -> outputAsScript("foo"::OutputForm)
>> System error:
The function BOOT::|formulaFormat| is undefined.
(215) -> outputAsFortran("foo"::OutputForm)
>> System error:
The function BOOT::|dispfortexp| is undefined.
(215) -> outputAsFortran(42::OutputForm)
>> System error:
The function BOOT::|dispfortexp| is undefined.
Although DisplayPackage is used in view2D and view3D it may also be a
candidate for removal in the future.
