13=head2 DESCRIPTION 17=head1 DESCRIPTION
14 18
19This extension manages the terminal background by creating a picture that
20is behind the text, replacing the normal background colour.
21
22It does so by evaluating a Perl expression that I<calculates> the image on
23the fly, for example, by grabbing the root background or loading a file.
24
25While the full power of Perl is available, the operators have been design
26to be as simple as possible.
27
28For example, to load an image and scale it to the window size, you would
29use:
30
31 urxvt --background-expr 'scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"'
32
33Or specified as a X resource:
34
35 URxvt.background-expr: scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"
36
37=head1 THEORY OF OPERATION
38
39At startup, just before the window is mapped for the first time, the
40expression is evaluated and must yield an image. The image is then
41extended as necessary to cover the whole terminal window, and is set as a
42background pixmap.
43
44If the image contains an alpha channel, then it will be used as-is in
45visuals that support alpha channels (for example, for a compositing
46manager). In other visuals, the terminal background colour will be used to
47replace any transparency.
48
49When the expression relies, directly or indirectly, on the window size,
50position, the root pixmap, or a timer, then it will be remembered. If not,
51then it will be removed.
52
53If any of the parameters that the expression relies on changes (when the
54window is moved or resized, its position or size changes; when the root
55pixmap is replaced by another one the root background changes; or when the
56timer elapses), then the expression will be evaluated again.
57
58For example, an expression such as C<scale load "$HOME/mybg.png"> scales the
59image to the window size, so it relies on the window size and will
60be reevaluated each time it is changed, but not when it moves for
61example. That ensures that the picture always fills the terminal, even
62after it's size changes.
63
64=head2 EXPRESSIONS
65
66Expressions are normal Perl expressions, in fact, they are Perl blocks -
67which means you could use multiple lines and statements:
68
69 again 3600;
70 if (localtime now)[6]) {
71 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png";
72 } else {
73 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png";
74 }
75
76This expression gets evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as
77background on Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
78
79Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
80little Perl knowledge needed.
81
82Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
83object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
84returns the root window background image:
85
86 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
87
88The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
89found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
90string is expanded to the home directory.
91
92Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
93C<scale>:
94
95 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
96
97Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
98expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
99its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
100
101Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
102that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
103arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
104an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
105get a percentage):
106
107 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
108
109This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
110has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
111C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
112commas.
113
114Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
116width and doubles the image height:
117
118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119
120Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it:
122
123 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png"
124
125In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator
126is kind of superfluous.
127
128Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges touch:
129
130 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png"
131
132This is also a typical background expression:
133
134 rootalign root
135
136It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
137moves it to the upper left corner of the screen - the result is
138pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is
139moved around.
140
141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING
142
143As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple
144times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to
145have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
146
147For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is
148asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,
149but return the cached copy.
150
151This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same
152image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different
153image, it will forget about the first one.
154
155This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in
156memory, or comserve memory by loading images more often.
157
158For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like
159this:
160
161 my $img1 = load "img1.png";
162 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
163 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
164
165Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated,
166they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
167
168 my $path1 = "img1.png";
169 my $path2 = "img2.png";
170 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2)
171
172Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image,
173so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck
174decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again.
