Huge subscripts in latex rendering of vector expressions

[Amine Aboufirass]

I've been playing around with the sympy vector module and the expressions created in latex contain very large subscripts denoting their reference system. Please see the attachment if the graphic does not appear below.

I have x and y defined as symbols and C as the reference system. The inclusion of the subscript C for every term is not necessary for my application and quickly gets very ugly for larger expressions with many variables.

I want to get rid of these subscripts. They are discouraging me from working with the vector module. How can I disable them please?

You can define a subclass of CoordSys3D that redefines vector_names and variable_names in its __init__ function. (Some experimentation may be necessary to see exactly which attributes need to be changed.)

You should modify these two lines:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/vector/coordsysrect.py#L183
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/vector/coordsysrect.py#L199

We should fix the coordinate system class to be able to not include the coordinate system name in the latex representation. 

As a workaround, you could name the coordinate system the empty string or ' ' so that the latex subscript gets ignored.
