maxima.repl: Run a Maxima REPL

In rim: Interface to 'Maxima', Enabling Symbolic Computation

Run a Maxima REPL

Description

This function provides a Maxima REPL in the R session, which can be used to interactively run Maxima code. All code executed within the REPL is run within the interactive Maxima session that is started when rim is attached and any generated Maxima objects will persist in the Maxima session after the REPL is detached.

Usage

maxima.repl(history_filename = NA_character_)

Arguments

history_filename

A (optional) filename to which all Maxima commands during the repl session are saved. If not provided (default), command history lookup will still be available (if supported by OS) in the same way as in the R session.

Details

When working with R and Maxima scripts interactively, one can activate the Python REPL with 'maxima.repl()', run Maxima code, and later run 'exit;' to return to the R console.

Note that, inside the REPL, multiple commands are allowed.

The output format displayed inside the REPL is controlled by 'maxima.options(repl.format = ...)'.
