11 =head1 SYNOPSIS
12
13 urxvt --background-expr 'background expression'
14 --background-border
15 --background-interval seconds
16
17 =head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19 This extension manages the terminal background by creating a picture that
20 is behind the text, replacing the normal background colour.
21
22 It does so by evaluating a Perl expression that I<calculates> the image on
23 the fly, for example, by grabbing the root background or loading a file.
24
25 While the full power of Perl is available, the operators have been design
26 to be as simple as possible.
27
28 For example, to load an image and scale it to the window size, you would
29 use:
30
31 urxvt --background-expr 'scale keep { load "/path/to/mybg.png" }'
32
33 Or specified as a X resource:
34
35 URxvt.background-expr: scale keep { load "/path/to/mybg.png" }
36
37 =head1 THEORY OF OPERATION
38
39 At startup, just before the window is mapped for the first time, the
40 expression is evaluated and must yield an image. The image is then
41 extended as necessary to cover the whole terminal window, and is set as a
42 background pixmap.
43
44 If the image contains an alpha channel, then it will be used as-is in
45 visuals that support alpha channels (for example, for a compositing
46 manager). In other visuals, the terminal background colour will be used to
47 replace any transparency.
48
49 When the expression relies, directly or indirectly, on the window size,
50 position, the root pixmap, or a timer, then it will be remembered. If not,
51 then it will be removed.
52
53 If any of the parameters that the expression relies on changes (when the
54 window is moved or resized, its position or size changes; when the root
55 pixmap is replaced by another one the root background changes; or when the
56 timer elapses), then the expression will be evaluated again.
57
58 For example, an expression such as C<scale keep { load "$HOME/mybg.png"
59 }> scales the image to the window size, so it relies on the window size
60 and will be reevaluated each time it is changed, but not when it moves for
61 example. That ensures that the picture always fills the terminal, even
62 after its size changes.
63
64 =head2 EXPRESSIONS
65
66 Expressions are normal Perl expressions, in fact, they are Perl blocks -
67 which means you could use multiple lines and statements:
68
69 scale keep {
70 again 3600;
71 if (localtime now)[6]) {
72 return load "$HOME/weekday.png";
73 } else {
74 return load "$HOME/sunday.png";
75 }
76 }
77
78 This expression is evaluated once per hour. It will set F<sunday.png> as
79 background on Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
80
81 Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
82 little Perl knowledge needed.
83
84 Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
85 object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
86 returns the root window background image:
87
88 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
89
90 The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
91 found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
92 string is expanded to the home directory.
93
94 Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
95 C<scale>:
96
97 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
98
99 Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
100 expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
101 its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
102
103 Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
104 that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
105 arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
106 an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
107 get a percentage):
108
109 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
110
111 This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
112 has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
113 C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
114 commas.
115
116 Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
117 horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
118 width and doubles the image height:
119
120 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
121
122 IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from sluggishness,
123 because each time the terminal is resized, it again loads the PNG image
124 and scales it. Scaling is usually fast, but loading the image can be quite
125 time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
126
127 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
128
129 The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
130 once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
131 returns the last value computed by the brace block.
132
133 This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
134 faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
135 image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
136 trade-off is likely worth it.
137
138 But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
139 available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
140 instead of resizing it:
141
142 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
143
144 In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
145 C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.
146
147 Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges
148 touch:
149
150 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
151
152 Another common background expression is:
153
154 rootalign root
155
156 This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
157 moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upper
158 left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
159 the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
160
161 =head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
162
163 Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
164 caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
165 also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
166 is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
167 running inside urxvtd.
168
169 =head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
170
171 The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
172 ... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
173 by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
174
175 An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
176 scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
177 using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
178 certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
179 directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
180 using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
181 size, and thus to resizing events.
182
183 When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
184 reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
185
186 C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
187
188 rootalign once { blur 20, root }
189
190 This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
191 calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
192 C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
193 blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
194 changes).
195
196 =head3 C<load> caching
197
198 The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
199 the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
200 of loading it freshly from disk.
201
202 That means that this expression:
203
204 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
205
206 Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
207 C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.
208
209 =head1 REFERENCE
210
211 =head2 COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
212
213 =over 4
214
215 =item --background-expr perl-expression
216
217 Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
218
219 =item --background-border
220
221 By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
222 overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
223
224 Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
225 replaces the background of the character area.
226
227 =item --background-interval seconds
228
229 Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
230 freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
231 time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.
232
233 If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety
234 interval with this switch.

258 =head2 PROVIDERS/GENERATORS
259
260 These functions provide an image, by loading it from disk, grabbing it
261 from the root screen or by simply generating it. They are used as starting
262 points to get an image you can play with.
263
264 =over 4
265
266 =item load $path
267
268 Loads the image at the given C<$path>. The image is set to plane tiling
269 mode.
270
271 If the image is already in memory (e.g. because another terminal instance
272 uses it), then the in-memory copy us returned instead.
273
274 =item load_uc $path
275
276 Load uncached - same as load, but does not cache the image, which means it
277 is I<always> loaded from the filesystem again.

291 $img
292 }
293 }
294
295 =item root
296
297 Returns the root window pixmap, that is, hopefully, the background image
298 of your screen.
299
300 This function makes your expression root sensitive, that means it will be
301 reevaluated when the bg image changes.

309
310 =item solid $colour
311
312 =item solid $width, $height, $colour
313
314 Creates a new image and completely fills it with the given colour. The
315 image is set to tiling mode.
316
317 If C<$width> and C<$height> are omitted, it creates a 1x1 image, which is
318 useful for solid backgrounds or for use in filtering effects.

326 $img->fill ($colour);
327 $img
328 }
329
330 =item clone $img
331
332 Returns an exact copy of the image. This is useful if you want to have
333 multiple copies of the same image to apply different effects to.
334
335 =cut
336
337 sub clone($) {
338 $_[0]->clone

340
341 =item merge $img ...
342
343 Takes any number of images and merges them together, creating a single
344 image containing them all. The tiling mode of the first image is used as
345 the tiling mode of the resulting image.
346
347 This function is called automatically when an expression returns multiple
348 images.

376 $base->repeat_mode ($_[0]->repeat_mode);
377 $base->fill ([0, 0, 0, 0]);

384
385 =head2 TILING MODES
386
387 The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
388 way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
389
390 =over 4
391
392 =item tile $img
393
394 Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
395 other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
396
397 Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
398 resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
399 to tiling mode.
400
401 tile load "mybg.png"
402
403 =item mirror $img
404
405 Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
406 that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
407 edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
408 and top always touch bottom edges).
409
410 Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
411 edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
412
413 mirror load "mybg.png"
414
415 =item pad $img
416
417 Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
418 become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
419 image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
420 background pixels outside the image unchanged.
421
422 Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
423 of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does
424 in alpha mode, else background colour).
425
426 pad load "mybg.png"
427
428 =item extend $img
429
430 Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
431 area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you use more complex
432 filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
433 same values as the pixels near the edge.
434
435 Example: just for curiosity, how does this pixel extension stuff work?
436
437 extend move 50, 50, load "mybg.png"
438
439 =cut
440
441 sub pad($) {
442 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
443 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNone);
444 $img
445 }
446
447 sub tile($) {
448 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
449 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNormal);
450 $img
451 }
452
453 sub mirror($) {
454 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
455 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatReflect);
456 $img
457 }
458
459 sub extend($) {
460 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
461 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatPad);
462 $img
463 }

465 =back
466
467 =head2 VARIABLE VALUES
468
469 The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
470 dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
471 varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
472 example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
473 again when the terminal is resized.
474
475 =over 4
476
477 =item TX
478
479 =item TY
480
481 Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
482 window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
483 border-respect mode).
484
485 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
486
487 These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
488
489 Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
490 background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
491
492 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
493
494 =item TW
495
496 Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
497 terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
498 when in border-respect mode).
499
500 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
501
502 These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
503 the window size to conserve memory.
504
505 Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
506 bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
507
508 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }
509
510 =cut
511
512 sub TX() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $x }
513 sub TY() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $y }
514 sub TW() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $w }
515 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
516
517 =item now
518
519 Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
520
521 Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
522 but the next two functions do.
523
524 =item again $seconds
525
526 When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
527 C<$seconds> seconds.
528
529 Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
530 the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
531
532 again 60;
533 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
534
535 =item counter $seconds
536
537 Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
538 0, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.
539
540 =cut
541
542 sub now() { urxvt::NOW }
543

547
548 sub counter($) {
549 $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{time} = $_[0];
550 $frame->[FR_STATE]{counter} + 0
551 }

554
555 =head2 SHAPE CHANGING OPERATORS
556
557 The following operators modify the shape, size or position of the image.
558
559 =over 4
560
561 =item clip $img
562
563 =item clip $width, $height, $img
564
565 =item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
566
567 Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
568 image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
569 larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
570 will be filled.
571
572 If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
573
574 If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
575 assumed.
576
577 Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
578 memory.
579
580 clip keep { blur 10, load "mybg.png" }
581
582 =cut
583
584 sub clip($;$$;$$) {
585 my $img = pop;
586 my $h = pop || TH;
587 my $w = pop || TW;

591 =item scale $img
592
593 =item scale $size_factor, $img
594
595 =item scale $width_factor, $height_factor, $img
596
597 Scales the image by the given factors in horizontal
598 (C<$width>) and vertical (C<$height>) direction.
599
600 If only one factor is give, it is used for both directions.
601
602 If no factors are given, scales the image to the window size without
603 keeping aspect.
604
605 =item resize $width, $height, $img
606
607 Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
608
609 =item fit $img
610
611 =item fit $width, $height, $img
612
613 Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
614 aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
615 the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.
616
617 =item cover $img
618
619 =item cover $width, $height, $img
620
621 Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered
622 by the image, so instead of potentially leaving borders, it will cut off
623 image data that doesn't fit.

654 =item move $dx, $dy, $img
655
656 Moves the image by C<$dx> pixels in the horizontal, and C<$dy> pixels in
657 the vertical.
658
659 Example: move the image right by 20 pixels and down by 30.
660
661 move 20, 30, ...
662
663 =item align $xalign, $yalign, $img
664
665 Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
666 the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
667 exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
668
669 Example: remove any visible border around an image, center it vertically but move
670 it to the right hand side.
671
672 align 1, 0.5, pad $img
673
674 =item center $img
675
676 =item center $width, $height, $img
677
678 Centers the image, i.e. the center of the image is moved to the center of
679 the terminal window (or the box specified by C<$width> and C<$height> if
680 given).
681
682 Example: load an image and center it.
683
684 center keep { pad load "mybg.png" }
685
686 =item rootalign $img
687
688 Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
689 window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
690 exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
691 top left of the screen.
692
693 Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
694
695 rootalign keep { mirror load "mybg.png" }
696
697 Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
698 transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.

731
732 Rotates the image clockwise by C<$degrees> degrees, around the point at
733 C<$center_x> and C<$center_y> (specified as factor of image width/height).
734
735 Example: rotate the image by 90 degrees around it's center.

753
754 The following operators change the pixels of the image.
755
756 =over 4
757
758 =item contrast $factor, $img
759
760 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $img
761
762 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
763
764 Adjusts the I<contrast> of an image.
765
766 The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the
767 second form applies separate factors to each colour channel, and the last
768 form includes the alpha channel.
769
770 Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
771 contrast.
772
773 Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
774 also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
775 increases brightness.
776
777 =item brightness $bias, $img
778
779 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $img
780
781 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
782
783 Adjusts the brightness of an image.
784
785 The first form applies a single C<$bias> to red, green and blue, the
786 second form applies separate biases to each colour channel, and the last
787 form includes the alpha channel.
788
789 Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
790 it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
791 latter in a white picture.
792
793 Due to idiosyncrasies in the underlying XRender extension, biases less
794 than zero can be I<very> slow.

821
822 =item blur $radius, $img
823
824 =item blur $radius_horz, $radius_vert, $img
825
826 Gaussian-blurs the image with (roughly) C<$radius> pixel radius. The radii
827 can also be specified separately.
828
829 Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other
830 operators. Larger blur radii are slower than smaller ones, too, so if you
831 don't want to freeze your screen for long times, start experimenting with
832 low values for radius (<5).

843 =head2 OTHER STUFF
844
845 Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
846 force and closing our eyes.
847
848 =over 4
849
850 =item keep { ... }
851
852 #TODO#
853
854 This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
855 statements enclosed by braces.
856
857 The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls
858 will simply return the original image (yes, it should only be used with
859 images).
860
861 This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing the same slow operations
862 again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
863 background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
864 root background on every window move or resize.
865
866 In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
867 C<once> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
868
869 Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
870 once:
871
872 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
873
874 This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
875 in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
876 is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
877 changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
878
879 =item once_again
880
881 Resets all C<once> block as if they had never been called, i.e. on the
882 next call they will be reevaluated again.
