[racket] Problem with hline in

That's odd. The documentation on hline says the line is centered
in its bounding box.

I guess I didn't knew I was cropping :-)

So when I type
    (scale (hline 30 1) 15)
into the interaction window, the cropping is done by pict->bitmap?

How can I avoid the cropping?

I tried a bunch of the bounding box adjusting functions, but no cigar.

I even tried appending a blank to the left:
    (hc-append (blank 1 1) (scale (hline 30 1) 30))
but that didn't work either.
