99Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image 101Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
100that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional 102that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
101arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify 103arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
102an additional argument, it uses it as a percentage: 104an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
105get a percentage):
103 106
104 scale 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 107 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
105 108
106This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale> 109This 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 110has 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 111C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
109commas. 112commas.

111Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both 114Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
112horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
113width and doubles the image height: 116width and doubles the image height:
114 117
115 scale 50, 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
116 119
117TODO 120Other effects than scaling are also readily available, for example, you can
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it:
118 122
123 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png"
124
125In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator
126is kind of superfluous.
127
128Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges touch:
129
130 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png"
131
132This is also a typical background expression:
133
134 rootalign root
135
136It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
137moves it to the upper left corner of the screen - the result is
138pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is
139moved around.
140
119=head3 CYCLES AND CACHING 141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING
120 142
121TODO 143As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple
122
123Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to have begun. Many operators 144times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to
124cache their results till the next cycle. For example 145have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
125 146
147For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is
148asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,
149but return the cached copy.
150
151This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same
152image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different
153image, it will forget about the first one.
154
155This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in
156memory, or conserve memory by loading images more often.
157
158For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like
159this:
160
161 my $img1 = load "img1.png";
162 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
163 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
164
165Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated,
166they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
167
168 my $path1 = "img1.png";
169 my $path2 = "img2.png";
170 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2)
171
172Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image,
173so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck
174decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again.

195
196Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
197freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
198time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.
199
200If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety

290=head2 TILING MODES
291
292The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
293way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
294
295=over 4
296
297=item tile $img
298
299Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
300other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
301
302Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
303resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
304to tiling mode.
305

310Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
311that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
312edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
313and top always touch bottom edges).

316edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself

319
320=item pad $img
321
322Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
323become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
324image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
325background pixels outside the image unchanged.
326
327Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
328of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does

333=item extend $img

337filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
338same values as the pixels near the edge.

591 $_[0], 760The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls
592 $_[1], 761will simply return the original image (yes, it should only be used with
593 $_[2] * $img->w * .01, 762images).
594 $_[3] * $img->h * .01, 763
595 $_[4] * (3.14159265 / 180), 764This can be extremely useful to avoid redoign the same slow operations
596 ) 765again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
766background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
767root background on every window move or resize.
768
769Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
770once:
771
772 rootlign once { blur 10, root }
773
774This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block, in
775case the root background changes: Right now, all once blocks forget that
776they ahve been executed before each time the root background changes (if
777the expression is sensitive to that) or when C<once_again> is called.
