Description

I'm just starting 3d programming, please bear with me. Would there be a way to render the contents of the editor frame into an opengl buffer, and display it as an inlay to DrRacket? Similar to Sublime Text's. I'll gladly help in any way if somebody has any information on this.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by investigating DrRacket's editor-frame and inlay capabilities, then assess the proposed OpenGL-buffer approach using the linked Sublime Text GPU-rendering example as context. Done requires a feasible, scoped implementation plan or a documented reason the feature cannot be supported.
