images in racket files

[Stephen De Gabrielle]

Hi,

I'm trying to export an 'pict' image i have pasted in a DrRacket file,

e.g. 

#lang racket

(require pict)

(define my-pasted-image <pasted image here>)

(provide  my-pasted-image )

I can specify it in (provide ..) , but attempting to reference it causes this error 

../../../../Applications/Racket v7.3/collects/racket/private/more-scheme.rkt:261:28: write: cannot marshal value that is embedded in compiled code

  value: (object:image-snip% ...)

> 

 

any ideas?

Looks like your best bet is to save the pict as a bitmap in a separate file, then load it in your module and export this value.

From the top of my head:

where the pic is produced:

(send (pict->bitmap my-pict) save-bitmap "path-to/the-bitmap-file.png" 'png)

(or maybe: right click on the snip then save?)

then

(provide my-pic)

(define my-pic (bitmap "path-to/the-bitmap-file.png"))

 thanks.

I was trying to help Connie with her language idea. 

Her eyes lit up when I pasted a pic of a waffle into DrRacket
