In Maple, how can I see a function's source code?

To view a function's source code from the Maple prompt, enter:

> interface(verboseproc=2); > readlib(function);

Above, replace function with the name of a Maple function. For example, to view the uncommented source code for the plot function, enter:

> readlib(plot);

You can view the code for most functions this way. To view the code for a routine in a package, enter something like:

> readlib(linalg:-charpoly);

Note: Most of Maple's source code is viewable, but a small portion is built into the Maple kernel, and is not visible to users.

For more information about statistical and mathematical software, email the UITS Stat/Math Center, visit the center's web page, or phone 812-855-4724 (IUB) or 317-278-4740 (IUPUI). The center is located in Bloomington at 410 N. Park Avenue, and is open for consultation by appointment Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
