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" }

70 if (localtime now)[6]) { 95 if (localtime now)[6]) {
71 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png"; 96 return load "$HOME/weekday.png";
72 } else { 97 } else {
73 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png"; 98 return load "$HOME/sunday.png";
99 }
74 } 100 }

76This expression gets evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as 102This inner expression is evaluated once per hour (and whenever the
103terminal window is resized). It sets F<sunday.png> as background on
77background on Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days. 104Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.

115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 142horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
116width and doubles the image height: 143width and doubles the image height:
117 144
118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 145 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119 146
120Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 147IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it: 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:
122 151
152 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
153
154The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
155once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
156returns the last value computed by the brace block.
157
158This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
159faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
160image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
161trade-off is likely worth it.
162
163But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
164available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
165instead of resizing it:
166
123 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 167 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
124 168
125In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator 169In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
126is kind of superfluous. 170C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.

173touch:
129 174
130 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 175 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
131 176
132This is also a typical background expression: 177Another common background expression is:
133 178
134 rootalign root 179 rootalign root
135 180
136It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 181This 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 182moves 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 183left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
139moved around. 184the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
140 185
141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 186=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
142 187
143As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 188Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
144times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 189of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
145have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
146 190
147For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 191 "red" # named colour
148asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again, 192 "#f00" # simple rgb
149but return the cached copy. 193 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
194 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
150 195
151This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same 196OR 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.
154 197
155This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 198 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
156memory, or comserve memory by loading images more often. 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
157 201
158For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 202=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
159this:
160 203
161 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 204Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
162 my $img2 = load "img2.png"; 205caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
163 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2 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.
164 209
165Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 210=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
166they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
167 211
168 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 212The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
169 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 213... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
170 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 214by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
171 215
172Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 216An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
173so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 217scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
174decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 218using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
219certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
220directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
221using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
222size, and thus to resizing events.
223
224When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
225reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
226
227C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
228
229 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
230
231This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
232calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
233C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
234blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
235changes).
236
237=head3 C<load> caching
238
239The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
240the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
241of loading it freshly from disk.
242
243That means that this expression:
244
245 keep { load "$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.

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.

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

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.

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 509=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
440 510
441The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways. 511The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
512dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
513varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
514example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
515again when the terminal is resized.
442 516
443=over 4 517=over 4
444 518
445=item clone $img 519=item TX
446 520
447Returns an exact copy of the image. 521=item TY
448 522
449=cut 523Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
524window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
525border-respect mode).
450 526
527Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
528
529These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
530
531Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
532background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
533
534 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
535
536=item TW
537
538Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
539terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
540when in border-respect mode).
541
542Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
543
544These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
545the window size to conserve memory.
546
547Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
548bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
549
550 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }

557 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
558
559=item now
560
561Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
562
563Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
564but the next two functions do.
565
566=item again $seconds
567
568When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
569C<$seconds> seconds.
570
571Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
572the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
573
574 again 60;
575 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
576

578
579Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
5800, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.

925=head2 OTHER STUFF
926
927Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
928force and closing our eyes.
929
930=over 4
931
932=item keep { ... }
933
934This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
935statements enclosed by braces.
936
937The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
938changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
939previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
940C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
941computed again.
942
943This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
944example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
945and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
946window move or resize.
947
948Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
949
950In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
951C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
952
953Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
954once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
955
956 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
957
958This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
959in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
960is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
961changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
