115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 118horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
116width and doubles the image height: 119width and doubles the image height:
117 120
118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 121 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119 122
120Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 123IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it: 124because each time the terminal is resized, it loads the PNG image agin
125and scales it. Scaling is usually fast (and unavoidable), but loading the
126image can be quite time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
122 127
128 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
129
130The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
131once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
132returns the last value computed by the brace block.
133
134This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
135faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
136image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
137trade-off is likely worth it.
138
139But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
140available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
141instead of resizing it:
142
123 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 143 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
124 144
125In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator 145In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
126is kind of superfluous. 146C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.

149touch:
129 150
130 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 151 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
131 152
132This is also a typical background expression: 153Another common background expression is:
133 154
134 rootalign root 155 rootalign root
135 156
136It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 157This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
137moves it to the upper left corner of the screen - the result is 158moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upper
138pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 159left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
139moved around. 160the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
140 161
141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 162=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
142 163
143As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 164Whenever an oprator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
144times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 165of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
145have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
146 166
147For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 167 "red" # named colour
148asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again, 168 "#f00" # simple rgb
149but return the cached copy. 169 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
170 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
150 171
151This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same 172OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
152image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different
153image, it will forget about the first one.
154 173
155This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 174 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
156memory, or comserve memory by loading images more often. 175 [0.5, 0, 0] # dark red, no green or blur, 100% alpha
176 [0.5, 0, 0, 0.7] # same with explicit 70% alpha
157 177
158For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 178=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
159this:
160 179
161 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 180Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
162 my $img2 = load "img2.png"; 181caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
163 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2 182also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
183is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
184running inside urxvtd.
164 185
165Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 186=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
166they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
167 187
168 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 188The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
169 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 189... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
170 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 190by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
171 191
172Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 192An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
173so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 193scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
174decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 194using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
195certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
196directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
197using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
198size, and thus to resizing events.
199
200When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
201reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
202
203C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
204
205 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
206
207This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
208calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
209C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
210blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
211changes).
212
213=head3 C<load> caching
214
215The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
216the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
217of loading it freshly from disk.
218
219That means that this expression:
220
221 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
222
223Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
224C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.

245
246Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
247freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
248time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.

250If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety
251interval with this switch.

272The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
273dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they jsut return stuff that
274varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
275example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated

283
284Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
285window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
286border-respect mode).
287
288Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
289
290These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
291
292Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
293background.

299Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
300terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
301when in border-respect mode).
302
303Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
304
305These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
306the window size to conserve memory.
307
308Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
309bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.

332Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
333the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.

440 481
441The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways. 482The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
483dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
484varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
485example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
486again when the terminal is resized.
442 487
443=over 4 488=over 4
444 489
445=item clone $img 490=item TX
446 491
447Returns an exact copy of the image. 492=item TY
448 493
449=cut 494Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
495window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
496border-respect mode).
450 497
498Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
499
500These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
501
502Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
503background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
504
505 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
506
507=item TW
508
509Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
510terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
511when in border-respect mode).
512
513Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
514
515These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
516the window size to conserve memory.
517
518Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
519bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
520
521 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }

525 sub TX() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $x }
526 sub TY() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $y }
527 sub TW() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $w }
528 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
529
530=item now
531
532Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
533
534Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
535but the next two functions do.
536
537=item again $seconds
538
539When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
540C<$seconds> seconds.
541
542Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
543the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
544
545 again 60;
546 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
547
548=item counter $seconds
549
550Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
5510, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.

679the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
680exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.

877force and closing our eyes.
878
879=over 4
880
881=item keep { ... }
882
883This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
884statements enclosed by braces.
885
886The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
887changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
888previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
889C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
890computed again.
891
892This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
893example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
894and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
895window move or resize.
896
897Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
898
899In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
900C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
901
902Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
903once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
904
905 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
906
907This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
908in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
909is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
910changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
