I agree that there should be a way
* to set the latex name of a variable: x.set_latex_name('foo')
* to set the latex names for all variables of a polynomial ring:
P.set_latex_variable_names(['foo', 'bar'])
* to define the latex names during initialisation of the ring:
P.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(QQ, latex_names=['foo','bar'])
However, it *is* possible to change the latex names, in a "slightly"
hackish way:
sage: P.<x,y> = QQ[]
sage: latex(x)
x
sage: P._latex_names = ['peter','paul']
sage: latex(x)
peter
Cheers,
Simon
