118	scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"	145	scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119		146
120	Other effects than scaling are also readily available, for example, you can	147	IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
121	tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it:	148	because each time the terminal is resized, it loads the PNG image again
		149	and scales it. Scaling is usually fast (and unavoidable), but loading the
		150	image can be quite time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
122		151
		152	scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
		153
		154	The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
		155	once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
		156	returns the last value computed by the brace block.
		157
		158	This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
		159	faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
		160	image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
		161	trade-off is likely worth it.
		162
		163	But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
		164	available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
		165	instead of resizing it:
		166
123	tile load "$HOME/mypic.png"	167	tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }

141	=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING	186	=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
142		187
143	As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple	188	Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
144	times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to	189	of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
145	have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle.
146		190
147	For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is	191	"red" # named colour
148	asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,	192	"#f00" # simple rgb
149	but return the cached copy.	193	"[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
		194	"TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
150		195
151	This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same	196	OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
152	image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different
153	image, it will forget about the first one.
154		197
155	This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in	198	[0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
156	memory, or conserve memory by loading images more often.	199	[0.5, 0, 0] # dark red, no green or blur, 100% alpha
		200	[0.5, 0, 0, 0.7] # same with explicit 70% alpha
157		201
158	For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like	202	=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
159	this:
160		203
161	my $img1 = load "img1.png";	204	Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
162	my $img2 = load "img2.png";	205	caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
163	(0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2	206	also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
		207	is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
		208	running inside urxvtd.
164		209
165	Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated,	210	=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
166	they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
167		211
168	my $path1 = "img1.png";	212	The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
169	my $path2 = "img2.png";	213	... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
170	load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2)	214	by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
171		215
172	Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image,	216	An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
173	so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck	217	scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
174	decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again.	218	using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
		219	certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
		220	directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
		221	using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
		222	size, and thus to resizing events.
		223
		224	When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
		225	reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
		226
		227	C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
		228
		229	rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
		230
		231	This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
		232	calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
		233	C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
		234	blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
		235	changes).
		236
		237	=head3 C<load> caching
		238
		239	The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
		240	the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
		241	of loading it freshly from disk.
		242
		243	That means that this expression:
		244
		245	keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
		246
		247	Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
		248	C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.
