120 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 120 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
121 121
122Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 122IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from sluggishness,
123tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it: 123because each time the terminal is resized, it again loads the PNG image
124and scales it. Scaling is usually fats, but loading the image can be quite
125time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
124 126
127 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
128
129The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
130once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
131returns the last value computed by the brace block.
132
133This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
134faster, but alos means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
135image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
136trade-off is likely worth it.
137
138But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
139available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
140instead of resizing it:
141
125 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 142 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
126 143
127In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator 144In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
128is kind of superfluous. 145C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.

148touch:
131 149
132 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 150 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
133 151
134This is also a typical background expression: 152Another common background expression is:
135 153
136 rootalign root 154 rootalign root
137 155
138It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 156This 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 157moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upepr
140pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 158left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
141moved around. 159the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
142 160
143=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 161=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
144 162
145As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 163Since 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 164caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
147have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle. 165also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
166is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
167running inside urxvtd.
148 168
149For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 169=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.
152 170
153This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same 171The 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 172... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
155image, it will forget about the first one. 173by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
156 174
157This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 175An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
158memory, or comserve memory by loading images more often. 176scaling or moving the window, root backgorund changes and timers. Simply
177using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depend on
178certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
179directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
180using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
181size, and thus to resizing events.
159 182
160For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 183When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
161this: 184reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
162 185
163 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 186C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
164 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
165 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
166 187
167Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 188 rootalign once { blur 20, root }
168they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
169 189
170 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 190This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
171 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 191calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
172 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 192C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
193blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
194changes).
173 195
174Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 196=head3 C<load> caching
175so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 197
176decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 198The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
199the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
200of loading it freshly from disk.
201
202That means that this expression:
203
204 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
205
206Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
207C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.

850=item once { ... }
851
852This function takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
853statements enclosed by braces.
854
855The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls
856will simply return the original image (yes, it should only be used with
857images).
858
859This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing the same slow operations
860again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
861background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
862root background on every window move or resize.
863
864In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
865C<once> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
866
867Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
868once:
869
870 rootlign once { blur 10, root }
871
872This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
873in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
874is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
875changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
876
877=item once_again
878
879Resets all C<once> block as if they had never been called, i.e. on the
880next call they will be reevaluated again.
