ShowBase -- Option for @TO linearSeries@

Synopsis

Description

The linear series computed for a plane curve is given as a matrix of forms of a certain degree in the ideal of the curve; Each form vanishes at a divisor PLUS a fixed locus, in common to all the forms but not necessarily equal to their intersection (unless the linear series to be computed is base-point free).
