One approach would be to store all the variables in a nested dictionary, eg n[1, 2][2, 2], and use var('n_1_2_2_2', latex_name='n_{(1,2),(2,2)}') to create the variables.
Here's an example: nn = dict( [ ((i, j), {}) for i in [1..2] for j in [1..2] ] ) nn[(1, 1)] = dict( [ ((i, j), var('v_1_1_%d_%d' % (i, j), latex_name='n_{(1,1),(%d,%d)}' % (i, j)) ) for i in [1..2] for j in [1..2] ] ) show(4*nn[1, 1][2, 1] + nn[1, 1][2, 2]^2) Which nicely shows the vector subscripts in latex. - Alex -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
