10 =head2 SYNOPSIS
11
12 urxvt --background-expr 'background expression'
13 --background-border
14
15 =head2 DESCRIPTION
16
17 This extension manages the terminal background by creating a picture that
18 is behind the text, replacing the normal background colour.
19
20 It does so by evaluating a Perl expression that I<calculates> the image on
21 the fly, for example, by grabbing the root background or loading a file.
22
23 While the full power of Perl is available, the operators have been design
24 to be as simple as possible.
25
26 For example, to load an image and scale it to the window size, you would
27 use:
28
29 urxvt --background-expr 'scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"'
30
31 Or specified as a X resource:
32
33 URxvt.background-expr: scale load "/path/to/mybg.png"
34
35 =head2 THEORY OF OPERATION
36
37 At startup, just before the window is mapped for the first time, the
38 expression is evaluated and must yield an image. The image is then
39 extended as necessary to cover the whole terminal window, and is set as a
40 background pixmap.
41
42 If the image contains an alpha channel, then it will be used as-is in
43 visuals that support alpha channels (for example, for a compositing
44 manager). In other visuals, the terminal background colour will be used to
45 replace any transparency.
46
47 When the expression relies, directly or indirectly, on the window size,
48 position, the root pixmap, or a timer, then it will be remembered. If not,
49 then it will be removed.
50
51 If any of the parameters that the expression relies on changes (when the
52 window is moved or resized, its position or size changes; when the root
53 pixmap is replaced by another one the root background changes; or when the
54 timer elapses), then the expression will be evaluated again.
55
56 For example, an expression such as C<scale load "$HOME/mybg.png"> scales the
57 image to the window size, so it relies on the window size and will
58 be reevaluated each time it is changed, but not when it moves for
59 example. That ensures that the picture always fills the terminal, even
60 after it's size changes.
61
62 =head3 EXPRESSIONS
63
64 Expressions are normal Perl expressions, in fact, they are Perl blocks -
65 which means you could use multiple lines and statements:
66
67 again 3600;
68 if (localtime now)[6]) {
69 return scale load "$HOME/weekday.png";
70 } else {
71 return scale load "$HOME/sunday.png";
72 }
73
74 This expression gets evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as
75 background on sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
76
77 Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
78 little Perl knowledge needed.
79
80 Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
81 object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
82 returns the root window background image:
83
84 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
85
86 The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
87 found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
88 string is expanded to the home directory.
89
90 Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
91 C<scale>:
92
93 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
94
95 Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
96 expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
97 its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
98
99 Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
100 that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
101 arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
102 an additional argument, it uses it as a percentage:
103
104 scale 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
105
106 This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
107 has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
108 C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
109 commas.
110
111 Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
112 horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
113 width and doubles the image height:
114
115 scale 50, 200, load "$HOME/mypic.png"

118
119 =head3 CYCLES AND CACHING
120
121 TODO
122
123 Each time the expression is reevaluated, a new cycle is said to have begun. Many operators
124 cache their results till the next cycle. For example
125
126 =head2 REFERENCE
127
128 =head3 COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
129
130 =over 4
131
132 =item --background-expr perl-expression
133
134 Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
135
136 =item --background-border
137
138 By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
139 overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
140
141 Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
142 replaces the background of the character area.

171 =head2 PROVIDERS/GENERATORS
172
173 These functions provide an image, by loading it from disk, grabbing it
174 from the root screen or by simply generating it. They are used as starting
175 points to get an image you can play with.
176
177 =over 4
178
179 =item load $path
180
181 Loads the image at the given C<$path>. The image is set to plane tiling
182 mode.
183
184 Loaded images will be cached for one cycle.
185
186 =cut
187
188 sub load($) {
189 my ($path) = @_;
190
191 $new->{load}{$path} = $old->{load}{$path} || $self->new_img_from_file ($path);
192 }
193
194 =item root
195
196 Returns the root window pixmap, that is, hopefully, the background image
197 of your screen. The image is set to extend mode.
198
199 This function makes your expression root sensitive, that means it will be
200 reevaluated when the bg image changes.
201
202 =cut
203
204 sub root() {
205 $new->{rootpmap_sensitive} = 1;
206 die "root op not supported, exg, we need you";
207 }
208
209 =item solid $colour
210
211 =item solid $width, $height, $colour
212
213 Creates a new image and completely fills it with the given colour. The
214 image is set to tiling mode.
215
216 If <$width> and C<$height> are omitted, it creates a 1x1 image, which is
217 useful for solid backgrounds or for use in filtering effects.
218
219 =cut
220
221 sub solid($$;$) {
222 my $colour = pop;
223
224 my $img = $self->new_img (urxvt::PictStandardARGB32, $_[0] || 1, $_[1] || 1);
225 $img->fill ($colour);
226 $img
227 }
228

230
231 =head2 VARIABLES
232
233 The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal
234 window dimensions. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some
235 events, for example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is
236 evaluated again when the terminal is resized.
237
238 =over 4
239
240 =item TX
241
242 =item TY
243
244 Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
245 window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
246 border-respect mode).
247
248 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
249
250 These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
251
252 Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
253 background.
254
255 move -TX, -TY, load "mybg.png"
256
257 =item TW
258
259 Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
260 terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
261 when in border-respect mode).
262
263 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
264
265 These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
266 the window size to conserve memory.
267
268 Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
269 bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
270
271 clip move -TX, -TY, blur 5, root
272
273 =cut
274
275 sub TX() { $new->{position_sensitive} = 1; $x }
276 sub TY() { $new->{position_sensitive} = 1; $y }
277 sub TW() { $new->{size_sensitive} = 1; $w }
278 sub TH() { $new->{size_sensitive} = 1; $h }
279
280 =item now
281
282 Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
283
284 Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
285 but the next two functions do.
286
287 =item again $seconds
288
289 When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
290 C<$seconds> seconds.
291
292 Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
293 the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
294
295 again 60; rotate TW, TH, 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -720 / 86400, scale load "myclock.png"
296
297 =item counter $seconds
298
299 Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
300 0, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.
301
302 =cut
303
304 sub now() { urxvt::NOW }
305
306 sub again($) {
307 $new->{again} = $_[0];
308 }
309
310 sub counter($) {
311 $new->{again} = $_[0];
312 $self->{counter} + 0
313 }

316
317 =head2 TILING MODES
318
319 The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
320 way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
321
322 =over 4
323
324 =item tile $img
325
326 Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
327 other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
328
329 Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
330 resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
331 to tiling mode.
332
333 tile load "mybg.png"
334
335 =item mirror $img
336
337 Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
338 that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
339 edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
340 and top always touch bottom edges).
341
342 Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
343 edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
344
345 mirror load "mybg.png"
346
347 =item pad $img
348
349 Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
350 become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
351 image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
352 background pixels outside the image unchanged.
353
354 Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
355 of the space is left "empty" (transparent or wahtever your compisotr does
356 in alpha mode, else background colour).
357
358 pad load "mybg.png"
359
360 =item extend $img
361
362 Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
363 area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you more complex
364 filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
365 same values as the pixels near the edge.
366
367 Example: just for curiosity, how does this pixel extension stuff work?
368
369 extend move 50, 50, load "mybg.png"
370
371 =cut
372
373 sub pad($) {
374 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
375 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNone);
376 $img
377 }
378
379 sub tile($) {
380 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
381 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNormal);
382 $img
383 }
384
385 sub mirror($) {
386 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
387 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatReflect);
388 $img
389 }
390
391 sub extend($) {
392 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
393 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatPad);
394 $img
395 }
396
397 =back
398
399 =head2 PIXEL OPERATORS
400
401 The following operators modify the image pixels in various ways.
402
403 =over 4
404
405 =item clone $img
406
407 Returns an exact copy of the image.
408
409 =cut
410
411 sub clone($) {
412 $_[0]->clone
413 }
414
415 =item clip $img
416
417 =item clip $width, $height, $img
418
419 =item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
420
421 Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
422 image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
423 larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
424 will be filled.
425
426 If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
427
428 If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
429 assumed.
430
431 Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
432 memory.
433
434 clip blur 10, load "mybg.png"
435
436 =cut
437
438 sub clip($;$$;$$) {
439 my $img = pop;
440 my $h = pop || TH;
441 my $w = pop || TW;
442 $img->sub_rect ($_[0], $_[1], $w, $h)
443 }
444
445 =item scale $img
446
447 =item scale $size_percent, $img
448
449 =item scale $width_percent, $height_percent, $img
450
451 Scales the image by the given percentages in horizontal
452 (C<$width_percent>) and vertical (C<$height_percent>) direction.
453
454 If only one percentage is give, it is used for both directions.
455
456 If no percentages are given, scales the image to the window size without
457 keeping aspect.
458
459 =item resize $width, $height, $img
460
461 Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
462
463 =cut
464
465 #TODO: maximise, maximise_fill?
466
467 sub scale($;$;$) {
468 my $img = pop;
469
470 @_ == 2 ? $img->scale ($_[0] * $img->w * 0.01, $_[1] * $img->h * 0.01)
471 : @_ ? $img->scale ($_[0] * $img->w * 0.01, $_[0] * $img->h * 0.01)
472 : $img->scale (TW, TH)
473 }
474
475 sub resize($$$) {
476 my $img = pop;
477 $img->scale ($_[0], $_[1])
478 }
479
480 =item move $dx, $dy, $img
481
482 Moves the image by C<$dx> pixels in the horizontal, and C<$dy> pixels in
483 the vertical.
484
485 Example: move the image right by 20 pixels and down by 30.
486
487 move 20, 30, ...
488
489 =item rootalign $img
490
491 Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
492 window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
493 exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
494 top left of the screen.
495
496 Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
497
498 rootalign mirror load "mybg.png"
499
500 Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
501 transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.
