Dear sage-supporters,
sometimes, when a Singular object is printed, only the name but not
the content is shown. In an example that David Joyner pointed me at,
the output is
x(1)^7*x(2)-x(1)*x(2)^7,sage4[1,2],sage4[1,3]
but it should be
x(1)^7*x(2)-x(1)*x(2)^7,
x(1)^12-2*x(1)^9*x(2)^3-x(1)^6*x(2)^6+2*x(1)^3*x(2)^9+x(2)^12,
x(1)^18+2*x(1)^15*x(2)^3+3*x(1)^12*x(2)^6+3*x(1)^6*x(2)^12-2*x(1)^3*x(2)^15+x(2)^18
There is an apparent reason for abbreviating the output of the
Singular-variable 'sage4', namely the polynomials are a bit large (but
not THAT large, actually). I'm not sure if the abbreviation is a
feature or an oddity.
However, when i saw it the first time, i got confused. I think a user
should only be confronted with internal data (such as
SingularObject.name()) if he or she explicitly asks.
Is there a way the user can influence to what extent the output is
abbreviated? I mean something like "If printing the content of a field
of a Singular matrix requires >n characters then abbreviate".
If there isn't: Might there be in future?
Or another idea: If V is a Singular object then
sage: V
could show V with abbreviations (if applicable), and
sage: print(V)
could show V without abbreviations.
Yours
Simon
