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.

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
201interval with this switch.

232 299
233The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal
234window dimensions. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some
235events, for example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is
236evaluated again when the terminal is resized.

245window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in

248Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
249
250These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.

253background.

259Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the

261when in border-respect mode).
262
263Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
264
265These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
266the window size to conserve memory.
267
268Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
269bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.

293the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.

481
482Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
483
484Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
485but the next two functions do.
486
487=item again $seconds
488
489When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
490C<$seconds> seconds.
491
492Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
493the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
494
495 again 60; rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -720 / 86400, scale load "myclock.png"
496
497=item counter $seconds
498
499Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at

729The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the

732
733Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
734contrast.
735
736Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
737also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
738increases brightness.

752Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
753it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
754latter in a white picture.

792Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other

813=item once { ... }
814
815This function takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
816statements enclosed by braces.
817
818The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls
819will simply return the original image (yes, it should only be used with
820images).
821
822This can be extremely useful to avoid redoign the same slow operations
823again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
824background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
825root background on every window move or resize.
826
827Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
828once:
829
830 rootlign once { blur 10, root }
831
832This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block, in
833case the root background changes: Right now, all once blocks forget that
834they ahve been executed before each time the root background changes (if
835the expression is sensitive to that) or when C<once_again> is called.
836
837=item once_again
