Hello,
Also, it is easy to install and configure, easy to learn. and it has great learning material.
It looks like a great simple (compared to common-lisp or clojure) alternative to python
(so far for the enthusiasm).
I have not asked anywhere yet, but I do not know a 'standard org-mode' way
to make org-mode show the plot images. Racket creates a temp image file and
returns a string that includes the path to the file. The actual format of the string is:
"\"#<Image: /var/tmp/geiser-img-16711484841671148484684.png>\""
I could create a patch for it, but I am not sure how to best implement it (in a clean way).
Currently, I am simply using the following advice (while including in the header ':results file'):
(with-eval-after-load 'ob-scheme
(defun ob-racket-advice (orig-fun &rest args)
(let ((result (print (apply orig-fun args))))
(if (string-match "\"#<Image: " (print result))
(nth 1 (string-split result " " nil ">\""))
result)))
(advice-add 'org-babel-execute:scheme :around #'ob-racket-advice))
however, it would be great if support could be added to ob-scheme itself.
I would be happy to do it, but as mentioned before I don't think I know how
to do it in the proper way. I would probably just add a condition around the
'result' in 'org-babel-execute:scheme' as follows:
(org-babel-result-cond result-params
(if (and (eq impl 'racket)
(string-match "\"#<Image: " (print result)))
(nth 1 (string-split result " " nil ">\""))
result)
(org-babel-scheme--table-or-string table)))))))
Thank you!
