99Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image 104Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
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 agin
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 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
139 163
140As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 164Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
141times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 165caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
142have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle. 166also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
167is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
168running inside urxvtd.
143 169
144For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 170=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
145asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,
146but return the cached copy.
147 171
148This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same 172The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
149image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different 173... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
150image, it will forget about the first one. 174by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
151 175
152This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 176An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
153memory, or comserve memory by loading images more often. 177scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
178using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
179certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
180directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
181using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
182size, and thus to resizing events.
154 183
155For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 184When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
156this: 185reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
157 186
158 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 187C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
159 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
160 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
161 188
162Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 189 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
163they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
164 190
165 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 191This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
166 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 192calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
167 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 193C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
194blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
195changes).
168 196
169Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 197=head3 C<load> caching
170so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck
171decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again.
172 198
199The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
200the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
201of loading it freshly from disk.
202
203That means that this expression:
204
205 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
206
207Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
208C<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

279window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
280border-respect mode).
281
282Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
283
284These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
285
286Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
287background.

295when in border-respect mode).
296
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.
301
302Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
303bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.

433=head2 PIXEL OPERATORS 464=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
434 465
435The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways. 466The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
467dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
468varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
469example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
470again when the terminal is resized.
436 471
437=over 4 472=over 4
438 473
439=item clone $img 474=item TX
440 475
441Returns an exact copy of the image. 476=item TY
442 477
443=cut 478Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
479window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
480border-respect mode).
444 481
482Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
483
484These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
485
486Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
487background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
488
489 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
490
491=item TW
492
493Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
494terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
495when in border-respect mode).
496
497Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
498
499These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
500the window size to conserve memory.
501
502Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
503bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.

512 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
513
514=item now
515
516Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
517
518Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
519but the next two functions do.
520
521=item again $seconds
522
523When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
524C<$seconds> seconds.
525
526Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
527the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
528

843force and closing our eyes.
844
845=over 4
846
847=item keep { ... }
848
849This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
850statements enclosed by braces.
851
852The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
853changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
854previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
855C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
856computed again.
857
858This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
859example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
860and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
861window move or resize.
862
863Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
864
865In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
866C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
867
868Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
869once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
870
871 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
872
873This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
874in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
875is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
876changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
