15=head2 DESCRIPTION 17=head1 DESCRIPTION
16 18
19This extension manages the terminal background by creating a picture that
20is behind the text, replacing the normal background colour.
21
22It does so by evaluating a Perl expression that I<calculates> the image on
23the fly, for example, by grabbing the root background or loading a file.
24
25While the full power of Perl is available, the operators have been design
26to be as simple as possible.
27
28For example, to load an image and scale it to the window size, you would
29use:
30
31 urxvt --background-expr 'scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"'
32
33Or specified as a X resource:
34
35 URxvt.background-expr: scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"
36
37=head1 THEORY OF OPERATION
38
39At startup, just before the window is mapped for the first time, the
40expression is evaluated and must yield an image. The image is then
41extended as necessary to cover the whole terminal window, and is set as a
42background pixmap.
43
44If the image contains an alpha channel, then it will be used as-is in
45visuals that support alpha channels (for example, for a compositing
46manager). In other visuals, the terminal background colour will be used to
47replace any transparency.
48
49When the expression relies, directly or indirectly, on the window size,
50position, the root pixmap, or a timer, then it will be remembered. If not,
51then it will be removed.
52
53If any of the parameters that the expression relies on changes (when the
54window is moved or resized, its position or size changes; when the root
55pixmap is replaced by another one the root background changes; or when the
56timer elapses), then the expression will be evaluated again.
57
58For example, an expression such as C<scale load "$HOME/mybg.png"> scales the
59image to the window size, so it relies on the window size and will
60be reevaluated each time it is changed, but not when it moves for
61example. That ensures that the picture always fills the terminal, even
62after its size changes.
63
64=head2 EXPRESSIONS
65
66Expressions are normal Perl expressions, in fact, they are Perl blocks -
67which means you could use multiple lines and statements:
68
69 again 3600;
70 if (localtime now)[6]) {
71 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png";
72 } else {
73 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png";
74 }
75
76This expression is evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as
77background on Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
78
79Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
80little Perl knowledge needed.
81
82Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
83object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
84returns the root window background image:
85
86 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
87
88The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
89found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
90string is expanded to the home directory.
91
92Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
93C<scale>:
94
95 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
96
97Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
98expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
99its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
100
101Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
102that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
103arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
104an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
105get a percentage):
106
107 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
108
109This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
110has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
111C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
112commas.
113
114Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
116width and doubles the image height:
117
118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119
120Other effects than scaling are also readily available, for example, you can
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it:
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
141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING
142
143As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple
144times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to
145have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
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.

183
184Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
185
186=item --background-border
187
188By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
189overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
190
191Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
192replaces the background of the character area.
193
194=item --background-interval seconds
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
201interval with this switch.

307=head2 TILING MODES
308
309The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
310way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
311
312=over 4
313
314=item tile $img
315
316Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
317other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
318
319Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
320resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
321to tiling mode.
322
323 tile load "mybg.png"
324
325=item mirror $img
326
327Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
328that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
329edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
330and top always touch bottom edges).
331
332Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
333edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
334

336
337=item pad $img
338
339Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
340become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
341image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
342background pixels outside the image unchanged.
343
344Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
345of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does
346in alpha mode, else background colour).
347
348 pad load "mybg.png"
349
350=item extend $img
351
352Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
353area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you use more complex
354filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
355same values as the pixels near the edge.

533
534Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
535aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
536the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.

541
542Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered

544image data that doesn't fit.

585
586Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
587the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
588exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
589
590Example: remove any visible border around an image, center it vertically but move

599Centers the image, i.e. the center of the image is moved to the center of
600the terminal window (or the box specified by C<$width> and C<$height> if
601given).
602
603Example: load an image and center it.
604
605 center pad load "mybg.png"
606
607=item rootalign $img
608
609Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
610window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
611exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
612top left of the screen.
613
614Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
615
616 rootalign mirror load "mybg.png"
617
618Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
619transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.

682=item contrast $r, $g, $b, $img
683
684=item contrast $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
685
686Adjusts the I<contrast> of an image.
687
688The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the
689second form applies separate factors to each colour channel, and the last
690form includes the alpha channel.
691
692Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
693contrast.
694
695Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
696also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
697increases brightness.

700
701=item brightness $r, $g, $b, $img
702

704
705Adjusts the brightness of an image.

707The first form applies a single C<$bias> to red, green and blue, the
708second form applies separate biases to each colour channel, and the last
709form includes the alpha channel.
710
711Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
712it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
713latter in a white picture.
714
715Due to idiosyncrasies in the underlying XRender extension, biases less
716than zero can be I<very> slow.

747
748Gaussian-blurs the image with (roughly) C<$radius> pixel radius. The radii
749can also be specified separately.
750
751Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other
752operators. Larger blur radii are slower than smaller ones, too, so if you
753don't want to freeze your screen for long times, start experimenting with
754low values for radius (<5).

772=item once { ... }
773
774This function takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
775statements enclosed by braces.
776
777The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls
778will simply return the original image (yes, it should only be used with
779images).
780
781This can be extremely useful to avoid redoign the same slow operations
782again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
783background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
784root background on every window move or resize.
785
786Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
787once:
788
789 rootlign once { blur 10, root }
790
791This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block, in
792case the root background changes: Right now, all once blocks forget that
793they ahve been executed before each time the root background changes (if
794the expression is sensitive to that) or when C<once_again> is called.
795
796=item once_again
