101Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image 104Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
102that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional 105that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
103arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify 106arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
104an additional argument, it uses it as a percentage: 107an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
108get a percentage):
105 109
106 scale 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 110 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
107 111
108This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale> 112This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
109has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while 113has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
110C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by 114C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by

115width and doubles the image height: 119width and doubles the image height:
116 120
117 scale 50, 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 121 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
118 122
119Other effects than scalign are also readily available, for exmaple, you can 123IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
120tile 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:
121 127
128 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
129
130The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
131once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
132returns the last value computed by the brace block.
133
134This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
135faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
136image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
137trade-off is likely worth it.
138
139But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
140available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
141instead of resizing it:
142
122 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 143 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
123 144
124In 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
125is kind of superfluous. 146C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.

149touch:
128 150
129 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 151 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
130 152
131This is also a typical background expression: 153Another common background expression is:
132 154
133 rootalign root 155 rootalign root
134 156
135It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 157This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
136moves 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
137pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 159left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
138moved around. 160the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
139 161
140=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 162=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
141 163
142As 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,
143times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 165caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
144have 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.
145 169
146For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 170=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
147asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,
148but return the cached copy.
149 171
150This 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 {
151image 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
152image, it will forget about the first one. 174by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
153 175
154This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 176An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
155memory, 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.
156 183
157For 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
158this: 185reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
159 186
160 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 187C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
161 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
162 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
163 188
164Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 189 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
165they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
166 190
167 my $path1 = "img1.png"; 191This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
168 my $path2 = "img2.png"; 192calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
169 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2) 193C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
194blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
195changes).
170 196
171Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image, 197=head3 C<load> caching
172so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck 198
173decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again. 199The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
200the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
201of loading it freshly from disk.
202
203That means that this expression:
204
205 keep { load "$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.

229
230Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
231freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
232time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.

269The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
270dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they jsut return stuff that
271varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for

284
285Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
286
287These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.

299
300Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
301
302These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
303the window size to conserve memory.

436=head2 PIXEL OPERATORS 468=head2 VARIABLE VALUES
437 469
438The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways. 470The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
471dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
472varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
473example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
474again when the terminal is resized.
439 475
440=over 4 476=over 4
441 477
442=item clone $img 478=item TX
443 479
444Returns an exact copy of the image. 480=item TY
445 481
446=cut 482Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
483window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
484border-respect mode).
447 485
486Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
487
488These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
489
490Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
491background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
492
493 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
494
495=item TW
496
497Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
498terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
499when in border-respect mode).
500
501Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
502
503These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
504the window size to conserve memory.
505
506Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
507bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
508
509 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }

516 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
517
518=item now
519
520Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
521
522Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
523but the next two functions do.
524
525=item again $seconds
526
527When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
528C<$seconds> seconds.
529
530Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
531the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
532

847force and closing our eyes.
848
849=over 4
850
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.
