[racket] Drawing in the Canvas from outside

Thanks,

I copied your example and it seems it doesn't work ..

If I comment the code inside [paint-callback .. it also doesn't draw
anything.

In general I need to send 'messages'  from 'outside' to the canvas object
to visualize numerical experiment performed by separate function.

I can implement experiment itself inside [pain-callback (lambda ...
functions ) under definition of canvas, but it looks strange and clumsy.
Sometimes I need just to run computations, but sometimes I need also to do
visualization with animation.

How could I achieve this?

Best regards,
Alex
