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

149touch:
131 150
132 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 151 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
133 152
134This is also a typical background expression: 153Another common background expression is:
135 154
136 rootalign root 155 rootalign root
137 156
138It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 157This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
139moves 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
140pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 159left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
141moved around. 160the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
142 161
143=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 162=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
144 163
145As 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,
146times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 165caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
147have 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.
148 169
149For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 170=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
150asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,
151but return the cached copy.
152 171
153This 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 {
154image 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
155image, it will forget about the first one. 174by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
156 175
157This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 176An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
158memory, 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.
159 183
160For 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
161this: 185reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
162 186
163 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 187C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
164 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
165 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
166 188
167Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 189 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
168they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
169 190
170 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 191This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
171 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 192calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
172 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 193C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
194blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
195changes).
173 196
174Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 197=head3 C<load> caching
175so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 198
176decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 199The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
200the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
201of loading it freshly from disk.
202
203That means that this expression:
204
205 keep { load "$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.

851=item keep { ... }
852
853This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
854statements enclosed by braces.
855
856The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
857changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
858previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
859C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
860computed again.
861
862This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
863example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
864and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
865window move or resize.
866
867Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
868
869In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
870C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
871
872Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
873once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
874
875 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
876
877This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
878in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
879is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
880changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
