7.3.7 fetch (plural)

Syntax:
fetch ( ring_name, name )
Type:
number, poly, vector, ideal, module, matrix or list (the same type as the second argument)
Purpose:
maps objects between rings. fetch is the identity map between rings and qrings, the i-th variable of the source ring is mapped to the i-th variable of the basering. The coefficient fields must be compatible. (See map (plural) for a description of possible mappings between different ground fields).
fetch offers a convenient way to change variable names or orderings, or to map objects from a ring to a quotient ring of that ring or vice versa.
Note:
Compared with imap, fetch uses the position of the ring variables, not their names.
Example:
 
See imap (plural); map (plural); qring (plural); ring (plural).
