115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 118horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
116width and doubles the image height: 119width and doubles the image height:
117 120
118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 121 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119 122
120Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 123IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
121tile 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:
122 127
128 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
129
130The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
131once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
132returns the last value computed by the brace block.
133
134This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
135faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
136image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
137trade-off is likely worth it.
138
139But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
140available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
141instead of resizing it:
142
123 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 143 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
124 144
125In 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
126is kind of superfluous. 146C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.

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

245
246Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
247freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
248time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.

250If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety
251interval with this switch.

271 352
272The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
273dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they jsut return stuff that
274varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
275example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
276again when the terminal is resized.

283
284Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
285window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
286border-respect mode).
287
288Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
289
290These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
291
292Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
293background.

299Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
300terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
301when in border-respect mode).
302
303Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
304
305These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
306the window size to conserve memory.
307
308Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
309bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.

439=head2 PIXEL OPERATORS 485=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
440 486
441The 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.
442 492
443=over 4 493=over 4
444 494
445=item clone $img 495=item TX
446 496
447Returns an exact copy of the image. 497=item TY
448 498
449=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).
450 502
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.
525
526 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }

532 sub TW() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $w }
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
550 again 60;
551 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
552
553=item counter $seconds
554
555Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
5560, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.

683Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
684the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
685exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
686

688it to the right hand side.

690 align 1, 0.5, pad $img
691
692=item center $img

879=head2 OTHER STUFF
880
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 rootlign 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.
