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

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 }

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

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.

271 376
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 511=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
440 512
441The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways. 513The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
514dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
515varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
516example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
517again when the terminal is resized.
442 518
443=over 4 519=over 4
444 520
445=item clone $img 521=item TX
446 522
447Returns an exact copy of the image. 523=item TY
448 524
449=cut 525Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
526window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
527border-respect mode).
450 528
529Using these functions makes your expression sensitive to window moves.
530
531These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
532
533Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
534background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
535
536 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
537
538=item TW
539
540=item TH
541
542Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
543terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
544when in border-respect mode).
545
546Using these functions makes your expression sensitive to window resizes.
547
548These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
549the window size to conserve memory.
550
551Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
552bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
553
554 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }
555
556=item FOCUS
557
558Returns a boolean indicating whether the terminal window has keyboard
559focus, in which case it returns true.
560
561Using this function makes your expression sensitive to focus changes.
562
563A common use case is to fade the background image when the terminal loses
564focus, often together with the C<-fade> command line option. In fact,
565there is a special function for just that use case: C<focus_fade>.
566
567Example: use two entirely different background images, depending on
568whether the window has focus.
569
570 FOCUS ? keep { load "has_focus.jpg" } : keep { load "no_focus.jpg" }

577 sub TH () { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
578 sub FOCUS() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{focus} = 1; $focus }
579
580=item now
581
582Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
583
584Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
585but the next two functions do.
586
587=item again $seconds
588
589When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
590C<$seconds> seconds.
591
592Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
593the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
594

990

992force and closing our eyes.
993
994=over 4
995
996=item keep { ... }
997
998This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
999statements enclosed by braces.
1000
1001The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
1002changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
1003previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
1004C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
1005computed again.
1006
1007This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
1008example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
1009and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
1010window move or resize.
1011
1012Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
1013
1014In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
1015C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
1016
1017Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
1018once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
1019
1020 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
1021
1022This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
1023in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
1024is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
1025changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
