13=head2 DESCRIPTION 15=head2 DESCRIPTION
14 16
17This extension manages the terminal background by creating a picture that
18is behind the text, replacing the normal background colour.
19
20It does so by evaluating a Perl expression that I<calculates> the image on
21the fly, for example, by grabbing the root background or loading a file.
22
23While the full power of Perl is available, the operators have been design
24to be as simple as possible.
25
26For example, to load an image and scale it to the window size, you would
27use:
28
29 urxvt --background-expr 'scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"'
30
31Or specified as a X resource:
32
33 URxvt.background-expr: scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"
34
35=head2 THEORY OF OPERATION
36
37At startup, just before the window is mapped for the first time, the
38expression is evaluated and must yield an image. The image is then
39extended as necessary to cover the whole terminal window, and is set as a
40background pixmap.
41
42If the image contains an alpha channel, then it will be used as-is in
43visuals that support alpha channels (for example, for a compositing
44manager). In other visuals, the terminal background colour will be used to
45replace any transparency.
46
47When the expression relies, directly or indirectly, on the window size,
48position, the root pixmap, or a timer, then it will be remembered. If not,
49then it will be removed.
50
51If any of the parameters that the expression relies on changes (when the
52window is moved or resized, its position or size changes; when the root
53pixmap is replaced by another one the root background changes; or when the
54timer elapses), then the expression will be evaluated again.
55
56For example, an expression such as C<scale load "$HOME/mybg.png"> scales the
57image to the window size, so it relies on the window size and will
58be reevaluated each time it is changed, but not when it moves for
59example. That ensures that the picture always fills the terminal, even
60after it's size changes.
61
62=head3 EXPRESSIONS
63
64Expressions are normal Perl expressions, in fact, they are Perl blocks -
65which means you could use multiple lines and statements:
66
67 again 3600;
68 if (localtime now)[6]) {
69 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png";
70 } else {
71 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png";
72 }
73
74This expression gets evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as
75background on sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
76
77Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
78little Perl knowledge needed.
79
80Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
81object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
82returns the root window background image:
83
84 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
85
86The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
87found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
88string is expanded to the home directory.
89
90Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
91C<scale>:
92
93 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
94
95Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
96expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
97its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
98
99Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
100that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
101arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
102an additional argument, it uses it as a percentage:
103
104 scale 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
105
106This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
107has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
108C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
109commas.
110
111Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
112horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
113width and doubles the image height:
114
115 scale 50, 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
116
117TODO
118
119=head3 CYCLES AND CACHING
120
121TODO
122
123Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to have begun. Many operators
124cache their results till the next cycle. For example
125
15=head2 REFERENCE 126=head2 REFERENCE

132=item --background-expr perl-expression
133
134Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
135
136=item --background-border
137
138By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
139overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
140
141Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
142replaces the background of the character area.

490
491Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
492window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
493exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
494top left of the screen.
