99Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image 101Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
100that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional 102that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
101arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify 103arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
102an additional argument, it uses it as a percentage: 104an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
105get a percentage):
103 106
104 scale 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 107 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
105 108
106This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale> 109This 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 110has 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 111C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
109commas. 112commas.

112horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
113width and doubles the image height: 116width and doubles the image height:
114 117
115 scale 50, 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
116 119
117TODO 120Other effects than scaling are also readily available, for example, you can
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it:
118 122
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
119=head3 CYCLES AND CACHING 141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING
120 142
121TODO 143As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple
122
123Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to have begun. Many operators 144times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to
124cache their results till the next cycle. For example 145have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
125 146
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 conserve 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.

195
196Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
197freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
198time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.
199
200If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety

233The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal
234window dimensions. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some

250These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.

264
265These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
266the window size to conserve memory.

486Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
487but the next two functions do.

489=item again $seconds
490
491When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
492C<$seconds> seconds.
493
494Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
495the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.

734
735Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
736contrast.
737
738Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
739also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also

815=item once { ... }
816
817This function takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
818statements enclosed by braces.
819
820The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls
821will simply return the original image (yes, it should only be used with
822images).
823
824This can be extremely useful to avoid redoign the same slow operations
825again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
826background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
827root background on every window move or resize.
828
829Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
830once:
831
832 rootlign once { blur 10, root }
833
834This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block, in
835case the root background changes: Right now, all once blocks forget that
836they ahve been executed before each time the root background changes (if
837the expression is sensitive to that) or when C<once_again> is called.
