19Just load a random jpeg image and tile the background with it without
20scaling or anything else:
21
22 load "/path/to/img.jpg"
23
24The same, but use mirroring/reflection instead of tiling:
25
26 mirror load "/path/to/img.jpg"
27
28Load an image and scale it to exactly fill the terminal window:

32Implement pseudo-transparency by using a suitably-aligned root pixmap

69 again 3600; 94 again 3600;
70 if (localtime now)[6]) { 95 if (localtime now)[6]) {
71 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png"; 96 return load "$HOME/weekday.png";
72 } else { 97 } else {
73 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png"; 98 return load "$HOME/sunday.png";
99 }
74 } 100 }
75 101
76This expression is evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as 102This inner expression is evaluated once per hour (and whenever the
103terminal window is resized). It sets F<sunday.png> as background on
77background on Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days. 104Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.

80little Perl knowledge needed. 107little Perl knowledge needed.

82Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image 109Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
115horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image 142horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
116width and doubles the image height: 143width and doubles the image height:
117 144
118 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png" 145 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
119 146
120Other effects than scaling are also readily available, for example, you can 147IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
121tile the image to fill the whole window, instead of resizing it: 148because each time the terminal is resized, it loads the PNG image again
149and scales it. Scaling is usually fast (and unavoidable), but loading the
150image can be quite time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
122 151
152 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
153
154The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
155once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
156returns the last value computed by the brace block.
157
158This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
159faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
160image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
161trade-off is likely worth it.
162
163But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
164available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
165instead of resizing it:
166
123 tile load "$HOME/mypic.png" 167 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
124 168
125In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the C<tile> operator 169In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
126is kind of superfluous. 170C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.
127 171
128Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges touch: 172Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges
173touch:
129 174
130 mirror load "$HOME/mypic.png" 175 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
131 176
132This is also a typical background expression: 177Another common background expression is:
133 178
134 rootalign root 179 rootalign root
135 180
136It first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then 181This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
137moves it to the upper left corner of the screen - the result is 182moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upper
138pseudo-transparency, as the image seems to be static while the window is 183left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
139moved around. 184the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
140 185
141=head2 CYCLES AND CACHING 186=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
142 187
143=head3 C<load> et al. 188Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
189of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
144 190
145As has been mentioned before, the expression might be evaluated multiple 191 "red" # named colour
146times. Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to 192 "#f00" # simple rgb
147have begun. Many operators cache their results till the next cycle. 193 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
194 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
148 195
149For example, the C<load> operator keeps a copy of the image. If it is 196OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
150asked to load the same image on the next cycle it will not load it again,
151but return the cached copy.
152 197
153This only works for one cycle though, so as long as you load the same 198 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
154image every time, it will always be cached, but when you load a different 199 [0.5, 0, 0] # dark red, no green or blur, 100% alpha
155image, it will forget about the first one. 200 [0.5, 0, 0, 0.7] # same with explicit 70% alpha
156 201
157This allows you to either speed things up by keeping multiple images in 202=head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
158memory, or conserve memory by loading images more often.
159 203
160For example, you can keep two images in memory and use a random one like 204Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
161this: 205caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
206also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
207is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
208running inside urxvtd.
162 209
163 my $img1 = load "img1.png"; 210=head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
164 my $img2 = load "img2.png";
165 (0.5 > rand) ? $img1 : $img2
166 211
167Since both images are "loaded" every time the expression is evaluated, 212The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
168they are always kept in memory. Contrast this version:
169
170 my $path1 = "img1.png";
171 my $path2 = "img2.png";
172 load ((0.5 > rand) ? $path1 : $path2)
173
174Here, a path is selected randomly, and load is only called for one image,
175so keeps only one image in memory. If, on the next evaluation, luck
176decides to use the other path, then it will have to load that image again.
177
178=head3 C<once { ... }>
179
180Another way to cache expensive operations is to use C<once { ... }>. The
181C<once> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed by C<{}> 213... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
182and evaluates it only.. once, returning any images the last statement 214by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
183returned. Further calls simply produce the values from the cache.
184 215
216An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
217scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
218using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
219certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
220directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
221using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
222size, and thus to resizing events.
223
224When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
225reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
226
185This is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>: 227C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
186 228
187 rootalign once { blur 20, root } 229 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
188 230
189This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent 231This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
190calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and 232calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
191C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (For the cached 233C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
192blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root 234blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
193changes). 235changes).
236
237=head3 C<load> caching
238
239The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
240the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
241of loading it freshly from disk.
242
243That means that this expression:
244
245 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
246
247Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
248C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.
