Update: I've narrowed down the problem to the `copy` method of the snip. When I delete the copy method, I can see the snip perfectly, but it can't be resized (because no copy method implemented).
I removed the GL component, so now I'm only attempting to extend the image-snip% class to resize a custom bitmap I load in (in my case just a plain red circle I drew). When I highlight over the snip with my cursor, I can see the bitmap below and it is resizing as well on a click (using `set-bitmap`). However, if I don't highlight over the snip it appears plain white. Another observations that may or may not help is: Calling (send s get-bitmap) always returns the bitmap of the same size, even if I've pressed on the snip several times to resize it. Here's the simplified code: (require racket/gui racket/gui/base) ;; bitmap stuff (define bits (make-bitmap 250 250)) (define bits-dc (new bitmap-dc% [bitmap bits])) (send bits-dc set-brush "red" 'solid) (send bits-dc set-pen "black" 3 'solid) (send bits-dc draw-ellipse 1 1 248 248) (define snip (make-object image-snip% bits)) ;; snip stuff (define scroll-snip% (class image-snip% (init bit-init) (define snip-bitmap bit-init) (inherit/super get-admin set-flags set-bitmap) (init-field [w 100] [h 100]) (super-make-object snip-bitmap) (set-flags (list 'handles-events)) (define/override (get-extent dc x y width height descent space lspace rspace) (define (maybe-set-box! b v) (when b (set-box! b v))) (maybe-set-box! width w) (maybe-set-box! height h) (maybe-set-box! descent 1.0) (maybe-set-box! space 1.0) (maybe-set-box! lspace 1.0) (maybe-set-box! rspace 1.0)) (define/override (on-char dc x y editorx editory event) (cond [(equal? (send event get-key-code) 'down) (define admin (get-admin)) (set! w (+ w 20)) (set! h (+ h 20)) ;; brush/pen/draw ellipse (define new-bits (make-object bitmap% w h)) (send bits-dc set-bitmap new-bits) (send bits-dc draw-ellipse x y (- w 2) (- h 2)) (set! snip-bitmap new-bits) (when admin (send admin resized this #t))] [(equal? (send event get-key-code) 'up) (define admin (get-admin)) (set! w (- w 20)) (set! h (- h 20)) ;; brush/pen/draw ellipse (define new-bits (make-object bitmap% w h)) (send bits-dc set-bitmap new-bits) (send bits-dc draw-ellipse x y (- w 2) (- h 2)) (super set-bitmap new-bits) (when admin (send admin resized this #t))] [(equal? (send event get-key-code) 'escape) (define admin (get-admin)) (set! w 150) (set! h 150) ;; brush/pen/draw ellipse (define new-bits (make-object bitmap% w h)) (send bits-dc set-bitmap new-bits) (send bits-dc draw-ellipse x y (- w 2) (- h 2)) (super set-bitmap new-bits) (when admin (send admin resized this #t))])) (define/override (on-event dc x y editorx editory event) (cond [(send event button-down?) (define admin (get-admin)) (set! w (+ w 20)) (set! h (+ h 20)) ;; brush/pen/draw ellipse (define new-bits (make-object bitmap% w h)) (send bits-dc set-bitmap new-bits) (send bits-dc draw-ellipse x y (- w 2) (- h 2)) (super set-bitmap new-bits) (when admin (send admin resized this #t))])) (define/override (draw dc x y left top right bottom dx dy draw-caret) ;; brush/pen/draw ellipse ;(define new-bits (make-object bitmap% w h)) ;(send bits-dc set-bitmap new-bits) ;(send bits-dc draw-ellipse x y (- w 2) (- h 2)) ;(set! snip-bitmap new-bits) (super draw dc x y left top right bottom dx dy draw-caret)) (define/override (copy) (make-object scroll-snip% snip-bitmap)) )) (define s (make-object scroll-snip% bits)) s I believe there must be a problem with the default implementation of the `copy` method, but I don't know enough to parse what's going on there. Here is the Racket source code implementation of an image-snip% https://github.com/racket/snip/blob/1a0ef3670ebb13e8738d838db167c3abdbf3df28/snip-lib/racket/snip/private/snip.rkt#L888.
