100that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional 105that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
101arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify 106arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
102an additional argument, it uses it as a percentage: 107an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
108get a percentage):
103 109
104 scale 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 110 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
105 111
106This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale> 112This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
107has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while 113has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
108C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by 114C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by

113width and doubles the image height: 119width and doubles the image height:
114 120
115 scale 50, 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 121 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
116 122
117Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 123IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
118tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it: 124because each time the terminal is resized, it loads the PNG image again
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:
119 127
128 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
129
130The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
131once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
132returns the last value computed by the brace block.
133
134This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
135faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
136image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
137trade-off is likely worth it.
138
139But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
140available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
141instead of resizing it:
142
120 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 143 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
121 144
122In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator 145In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
123is kind of superfluous. 146C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.
124 147
125Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges touch: 148Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges
149touch:
126 150
127 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 151 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
128 152
129This is also a typical background expression: 153Another common background expression is:
130 154
131 rootalign root 155 rootalign root
132 156
133It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 157This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
134moves 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
135pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 159left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
136moved around. 160the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
137 161
138=head3 CYCLES AND CACHING 162=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
139 163
140As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 164Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
141times. 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:
142have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
143 166
144For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 167 "red" # named colour
145asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again, 168 "#f00" # simple rgb
146but return the cached copy. 169 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
170 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
147 171
148This 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:
149image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different
150image, it will forget about the first one.
151 173
152This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 174 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
153memory, 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
154 177
155For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 178=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
156this:
157 179
158 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 180Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
159 my $img2 = load "img2.png"; 181caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
160 (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.
161 185
162Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 186=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
163they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
164 187
165 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 188The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
166 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 189... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
167 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 190by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
168 191
169Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 192An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
170so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 193scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
171decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 194using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
195certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
196directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
197using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
198size, and thus to resizing events.
172 199
200When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
201reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
202
203C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
204
205 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
206
207This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
208calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
209C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
210blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
211changes).
212
213=head3 C<load> caching
214
215The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
216the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
217of loading it freshly from disk.
218
219That means that this expression:
220
221 keep { load "$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.

267The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal
268window dimensions. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some

282Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
283
284These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.

297Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
298
299These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
300the window size to conserve memory.

433=head2 PIXEL OPERATORS 485=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
434 486
435The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways. 487The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
488dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
489varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
490example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
491again when the terminal is resized.
436 492
437=over 4 493=over 4
438 494
439=item clone $img 495=item TX
440 496
441Returns an exact copy of the image. 497=item TY
442 498
443=cut 499Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
500window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
501border-respect mode).
444 502
503Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
504
505These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
506
507Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
508background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
509
510 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
511
512=item TW
513
514Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
515terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
516when in border-respect mode).
517
518Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
519
520These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
521the window size to conserve memory.
522
523Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
524bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.

533 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
534
535=item now
536
537Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
538
539Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
540but the next two functions do.
541
542=item again $seconds
543
544When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
545C<$seconds> seconds.
546
547Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
548the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
549

881Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
882force and closing our eyes.
883
884=over 4
885
886=item keep { ... }
887
888This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
889statements enclosed by braces.
890
891The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
892changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
893previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
894C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
895computed again.
896
897This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
898example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
899and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
900window move or resize.
901
902Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
903
904In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
905C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
906
907Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
908once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
909
910 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
911
912This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
913in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
914is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
915changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
