Hello all! I am going through https://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/index.html in both DrRacket and emacs with racket-mode and noticed that the output differs on the command (rainbow (square 5))

In DrRacket I obviously get the same as the tutorial… but in racket-mode I get the following:

My question is… is this correct output? Or should I consider this a bug in racket-mode?

Not a bug.

The output of rainbow is a list of picts.

How lists are printed are decided by the editor.

If you want one image with squares next to each other,

hc-append

?

yes!

Great… still that is an awkward way to display a list of pics!

Thanks for the help!

True. I don’t know whether it is a choice made by Greg - or whether there is a limitation in Emacs.

Alright… I filled an issue on the repository… it is nothing crucial, but it is unexpected if someone is following the tutorial….

Thanks again for the quick assist!

Np.

@philip.mcgrath thanks for confirming :)
