showTex -- convert to TeX and display on screen

Synopsis

Usage:
showTex x
Inputs:
- x, any Macaulay 2 object
Consequences:
- showTex x converts x to TeX format, and displays it on the screen.
Optional inputs:
- Format => ...,

Description

For example, the following line would display a matrix in another window.

showTex matrix{{1,2,3},{4,5,6}}

Caveat

No attempt is made to wrap large matrices or equations.
The code for this function is Unix dependent at the moment, requiring that the commands latex and xdvi are present.
