15 --background-interval seconds
16
17=head1 QUICK AND DIRTY CHEAT SHEET
18
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
33as window background:
34
35 rootalign root
36
37Likewise, but keep a blurred copy:
38
39 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
40
41=head1 DESCRIPTION
42
43This extension manages the terminal background by creating a picture that
44is behind the text, replacing the normal background colour.
45
46It does so by evaluating a Perl expression that I<calculates> the image on
47the fly, for example, by grabbing the root background or loading a file.
48
49While the full power of Perl is available, the operators have been design
50to be as simple as possible.
51
52For example, to load an image and scale it to the window size, you would
53use:
54
55 urxvt --background-expr 'scale keep { load "/path/to/mybg.png" }'
56
57Or specified as a X resource:
58
59 URxvt.background-expr: scale keep { load "/path/to/mybg.png" }
60
61=head1 THEORY OF OPERATION
62
63At startup, just before the window is mapped for the first time, the
64expression is evaluated and must yield an image. The image is then
65extended as necessary to cover the whole terminal window, and is set as a
66background pixmap.
67
68If the image contains an alpha channel, then it will be used as-is in
69visuals that support alpha channels (for example, for a compositing
70manager). In other visuals, the terminal background colour will be used to
71replace any transparency.
72
73When the expression relies, directly or indirectly, on the window size,
74position, the root pixmap, or a timer, then it will be remembered. If not,
75then it will be removed.
76
77If any of the parameters that the expression relies on changes (when the
78window is moved or resized, its position or size changes; when the root
79pixmap is replaced by another one the root background changes; or when the
80timer elapses), then the expression will be evaluated again.
81
82For example, an expression such as C<scale keep { load "$HOME/mybg.png"
83}> scales the image to the window size, so it relies on the window size
84and will be reevaluated each time it is changed, but not when it moves for
85example. That ensures that the picture always fills the terminal, even
86after its size changes.
87
88=head2 EXPRESSIONS
89
90Expressions are normal Perl expressions, in fact, they are Perl blocks -
91which means you could use multiple lines and statements:
92
93 scale keep {
94 again 3600;
95 if (localtime now)[6]) {
96 return load "$HOME/weekday.png";
97 } else {
98 return load "$HOME/sunday.png";
99 }
100 }
101
102This inner expression is evaluated once per hour (and whenever the
103terminal window is resized). It sets F<sunday.png> as background on
104Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
105
106Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
107little Perl knowledge needed.
108
109Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
110object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
111returns the root window background image:
112
113 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
114
115The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
116found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
117string is expanded to the home directory.
118
119Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
120C<scale>:
121
122 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
123
124Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
125expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
126its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
127
128Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
129that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
130arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
131an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
132get a percentage):
133
134 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
135
136This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
137has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
138C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
139commas.
140
141Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
142horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
143width and doubles the image height:
144
145 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
146
147IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
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:
151
152 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
153
154The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
155once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
156returns the last value computed by the brace block.
157
158This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
159faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
160image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
161trade-off is likely worth it.
162
163But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
164available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
165instead of resizing it:
166
167 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
168
169In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
170C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.
171
172Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges
173touch:
174
175 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
176
177Another common background expression is:
178
179 rootalign root
180
181This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
182moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upper
183left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
184the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
185
186=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
187
188Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
189of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
190
191 "red" # named colour
192 "#f00" # simple rgb
193 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
194 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
195
196OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
197
198 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
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
201
202=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
203
204Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
205caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
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.
209
210=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
211
212The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
213... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
214by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
215
216An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
217scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
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.

251
252=head2 COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
253
254=over 4
255
256=item --background-expr perl-expression
257
258Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
259
260=item --background-border
261
262By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
263overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
264
265Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
266replaces the background of the character area.
267
268=item --background-interval seconds
269
270Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
271freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
272time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.
273
274If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety
275interval with this switch.

38=item load $path 307=item load $path
39 308
309Loads the image at the given C<$path>. The image is set to plane tiling
310mode.
311
312If the image is already in memory (e.g. because another terminal instance
313uses it), then the in-memory copy us returned instead.
314
315=item load_uc $path
316
317Load uncached - same as load, but does not cache the image, which means it
318is I<always> loaded from the filesystem again, even if another copy of it
319is in memory at the time.

337=item root
338
339Returns the root window pixmap, that is, hopefully, the background image
340of your screen.
341
342This function makes your expression root sensitive, that means it will be

354=item solid $width, $height, $colour
355
356Creates a new image and completely fills it with the given colour. The
357image is set to tiling mode.
358
359If C<$width> and C<$height> are omitted, it creates a 1x1 image, which is
360useful for solid backgrounds or for use in filtering effects.

385Takes any number of images and merges them together, creating a single

61=head2 VARIABLES 429=head2 TILING MODES
430
431The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
432way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
62 433
63=over 4 434=over 4
64 435
65=cut 436=item tile $img
66 437
67 sub X() { $new->{position_sensitive} = 1; $l } 438Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
68 sub Y() { $new->{position_sensitive} = 1; $t } 439other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
69 sub W() { $new->{size_sensitive} = 1; $w } 440
70 sub H() { $new->{size_sensitive} = 1; $h } 441Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
442resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
443to tiling mode.
444
445 tile load "mybg.png"
446
447=item mirror $img
448
449Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
450that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
451edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
452and top always touch bottom edges).
453
454Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
455edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
456
457 mirror load "mybg.png"
458
459=item pad $img
460
461Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
462become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
463image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
464background pixels outside the image unchanged.
465
466Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
467of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does
468in alpha mode, else background colour).
469
470 pad load "mybg.png"
471
472=item extend $img
473
474Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
475area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you use more complex
476filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
477same values as the pixels near the edge.
478
479Example: just for curiosity, how does this pixel extension stuff work?

511=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
512
513The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
514dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
515varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
516example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
517again when the terminal is resized.
518
519=over 4
520
521=item TX
522
523=item TY
524
525Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
526window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
527border-respect mode).
528
529Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
530
531These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
532
533Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
534background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
535
536 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
537
538=item TW
539
540Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
541terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
542when in border-respect mode).
543
544Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
545
546These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
547the window size to conserve memory.
548
549Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
550bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
551
552 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }

561=item now
562
563Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
564
565Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
566but the next two functions do.
567
568=item again $seconds
569
570When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
571C<$seconds> seconds.
572
573Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
574the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
575
576 again 60;
577 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
578
579=item counter $seconds
580
581Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at

92# $_[0]->clone 608
93# } 609=item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
610
611Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
612image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
613larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
614will be filled.
615
616If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
617
618If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
619assumed.
620
621Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
622memory.
623
624 clip keep { blur 10, load "mybg.png" }

635=item scale $img
636
637=item scale $size_factor, $img
638
639=item scale $width_factor, $height_factor, $img
640
641Scales the image by the given factors in horizontal
642(C<$width>) and vertical (C<$height>) direction.
643
644If only one factor is give, it is used for both directions.
645
646If no factors are given, scales the image to the window size without
647keeping aspect.
648
649=item resize $width, $height, $img
650
651Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
652
653=item fit $img
654
655=item fit $width, $height, $img
656
657Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
658aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
659the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.
660
661=item cover $img
662
663=item cover $width, $height, $img
664
665Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered
666by the image, so instead of potentially leaving borders, it will cut off
667image data that doesn't fit.

697
698=item move $dx, $dy, $img
699
700Moves the image by C<$dx> pixels in the horizontal, and C<$dy> pixels in
701the vertical.
702
703Example: move the image right by 20 pixels and down by 30.
704
705 move 20, 30, ...
706
707=item align $xalign, $yalign, $img
708
709Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
710the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
711exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
712
713Example: remove any visible border around an image, center it vertically but move
714it to the right hand side.
715
716 align 1, 0.5, pad $img
717
718=item center $img
719
720=item center $width, $height, $img
721
722Centers the image, i.e. the center of the image is moved to the center of
723the terminal window (or the box specified by C<$width> and C<$height> if
724given).
725
726Example: load an image and center it.
727
728 center keep { pad load "mybg.png" }
729
730=item rootalign $img
731
732Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
733window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
734exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
735top left of the screen.
736
737Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
738
739 rootalign keep { mirror load "mybg.png" }
740
741Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
742transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.

778

807
808 tint "red", load "rgb.png"
809

820=item contrast $factor, $img
821
822=item contrast $r, $g, $b, $img
823
824=item contrast $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
825
826Adjusts the I<contrast> of an image.
827
828The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the
829second form applies separate factors to each colour channel, and the last
830form includes the alpha channel.
831
832Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
833contrast.
834
835Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
836also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
837increases brightness.
838
839=item brightness $bias, $img
840
841=item brightness $r, $g, $b, $img
842
843=item brightness $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
844
845Adjusts the brightness of an image.
846
847The first form applies a single C<$bias> to red, green and blue, the
848second form applies separate biases to each colour channel, and the last
849form includes the alpha channel.
850
851Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
852it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
853latter in a white picture.
854
855Due to idiosyncrasies in the underlying XRender extension, biases less
856than zero can be I<very> slow.
857
858You can also try the experimental(!) C<muladd> operator.

886=item muladd $mul, $add, $img # EXPERIMENTAL
887
888First multipliesthe pixels by C<$mul>, then adds C<$add>. This cna be used
889to implement brightness and contrast at the same time, with a wider value
890range than contrast and brightness operators.
891
892Due to numerous bugs in XRender implementations, it can also introduce a
893number of visual artifacts.
894
895Example: increase contrast by a factor of C<$c> without changing image
896brightness too much.

906=item blur $radius, $img
907
908=item blur $radius_horz, $radius_vert, $img
909
910Gaussian-blurs the image with (roughly) C<$radius> pixel radius. The radii
911can also be specified separately.
912
913Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other
914operators. Larger blur radii are slower than smaller ones, too, so if you
915don't want to freeze your screen for long times, start experimenting with
916low values for radius (<5).

927=head2 OTHER STUFF
928
929Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
930force and closing our eyes.
931
932=over 4
933
934=item keep { ... }
935
936This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
937statements enclosed by braces.
938
939The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
940changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
941previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
942C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
943computed again.
944
945This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
946example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
947and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
948window move or resize.
949
950Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
951
952In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
953C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
954
955Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
956once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
957
958 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
959
960This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
961in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
962is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
963changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
