19Just load a random jpeg image and tile the background with it without
20scaling or anything else:
21
22 load "/path/to/img.jpg"
23
24The same, but use mirroring/reflection instead of tiling:
25
26 mirror load "/path/to/img.jpg"
27
28Load an image and scale it to exactly fill the terminal window:
29
30 scale keep { load "/path/to/img.jpg" }
31
32Implement pseudo-transparency by using a suitably-aligned root pixmap

73 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png"; 96 return load "$HOME/weekday.png";
74 } else { 97 } else {
75 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png"; 98 return load "$HOME/sunday.png";
99 }
76 } 100 }

103terminal window is resized). It sets F<sunday.png> as background on

117horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 142horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
118width and doubles the image height: 143width and doubles the image height:
119 144
120 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 145 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
121 146
122Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 147IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
123tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it: 148because each time the terminal is resized, it loads the PNG image again
149and scales it. Scaling is usually fast (and unavoidable), but loading the
150image can be quite time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
124 151
152 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
153
154The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
155once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
156returns the last value computed by the brace block.
157
158This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
159faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
160image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
161trade-off is likely worth it.
162
163But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
164available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
165instead of resizing it:
166
125 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 167 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
126 168
127In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator 169In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
128is kind of superfluous. 170C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.

130Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges touch: 172Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges
173touch:
131 174
132 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 175 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
133 176
134This is also a typical background expression: 177Another common background expression is:
135 178
136 rootalign root 179 rootalign root
137 180
138It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 181This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
139moves it to the upper left corner of the screen - the result is 182moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upper
140pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 183left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
141moved around. 184the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
142 185
143=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 186=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
144 187
145As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 188Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
146times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 189of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
147have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
148 190
149For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 191 "red" # named colour
150asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again, 192 "#f00" # simple rgb
151but return the cached copy. 193 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
194 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
152 195
153This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same 196OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
154image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different
155image, it will forget about the first one.
156 197
157This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 198 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
158memory, or comserve memory by loading images more often. 199 [0.5, 0, 0] # dark red, no green or blur, 100% alpha
200 [0.5, 0, 0, 0.7] # same with explicit 70% alpha
159 201
160For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 202=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
161this:
162 203
163 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 204Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
164 my $img2 = load "img2.png"; 205caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
165 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2 206also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
207is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
208running inside urxvtd.
166 209
167Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 210=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
168they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
169 211
170 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 212The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
171 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 213... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
172 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 214by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
173 215
174Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 216An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
175so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 217scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
176decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 218using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
219certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
220directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
221using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
222size, and thus to resizing events.
223
224When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
225reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
226
227C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
228
229 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
230
231This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
232calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
233C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
234blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
235changes).
236
237=head3 C<load> caching
238
239The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
240the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
241of loading it freshly from disk.
242
243That means that this expression:
244
245 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
246
247Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
248C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.

929
930=over 4
931
932=item keep { ... }
933
934This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
935statements enclosed by braces.
936
937The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
938changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
939previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
940C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
941computed again.
942
943This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
944example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
945and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
946window move or resize.
947
948Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
949
950In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
951C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
952
953Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
954once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
955
956 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
957
958This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
959in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
960is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
961changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
