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);For example, to view the uncommented source code for the
plot function, you would enter:
This method lets you view the code for most functions. 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.
