Display results in Macaulay2 using text.

Question

I use Macaulay2 to compute Hilbert series. But the results in Macaulay2 are of the following form:

       2      3       4       5       6        7        8        9        10        11        12       13      14
1 - 27T  + 56T  + 165T  - 792T  + 825T  + 1584T  - 6237T  + 9680T  - 9009T   + 5400T   - 2057T   + 456T   - 45T
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                           12
                                                    (1 - T)

Can it be displayed as ordinary expression which can be read by computer program? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

There is the toString function which you can use. For example, try this:

i1 : QQ[x,y]
i2 : f = x^2 + y^2
i3 : g = (x-y)^2
i4 : toString (2*f - g)

and there is also tex if you want it in TeX.
