Maxima in Racket



Hi All,

The Maxima in Racket experiment now has a working REPL.
I have attached a screenshot and the code so far.
Maybe someone can use it as an example.

The Maxima command tex(expr) will convert an expression into TeX.
Jays McCarthy's slideshow-latex package is used to turn the TeX into
a bitmap, that can be displayed in DrRacket.

One problem though:
When displaying long equations with TeX I use the LaTeX
package breqn to break the lines automatically.
However I can't get the package to produce wide lines.

For example: Wrapping the output from tex( expand( (x+1)^20 ) );
into a dmath* environment produces 8 narrow lines, but on my screen
they could easily fit into 3 lines. I have tried to changing paper size
to a3 and a2, but that didn't have any impact.

Do anyone happen to know how to tell breqn that lines are wider?
