Description

With a program with a very large image in it, DrRacket become extremely sluggish, and animate seems to show only a black square some of the time.

To reproduce, in Beginning Student:

(define airplane ...) ;; paste in this image https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/106537227-1589463911434gettyimages-890234318.jpeg?v=1589463982
(require 2htdp/image)
(require 2htdp/universe)
(define plane (scale 0.05 airplane))
(image-height plane)
(define (go n) (place-image plane 200 n (empty-scene 400 400)))
(go 0)
(go 50)
(go 150)
(go 250)
(go 350)
(go 450)
(animate go)

Research direction

Start by running the Beginning Student reproduction in DrRacket with the linked JPEG, using 2htdp/image and 2htdp/universe. Investigate the behavior of scale, place-image, empty-scene, and animate with the very large image; done means DrRacket remains responsive and the animation renders the plane instead of an intermittent black square.
