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 "$HOME/sunday.png";
75 }
76 }
77
78 This inner expression is evaluated once per hour (and whenever the
79 temrinal window is resized). It sets F<sunday.png> as background on
80 Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
81
82 Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
83 little Perl knowledge needed.
84
85 Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
86 object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
87 returns the root window background image:
88
89 load "$HOME/mypic.png"
90
91 The path is usually specified as a quoted string (the exact rules can be
92 found in the L<perlop> manpage). The F<$HOME> at the beginning of the
93 string is expanded to the home directory.
94
95 Then you prepend one or more modifiers or filtering expressions, such as
96 C<scale>:
97
98 scale load "$HOME/mypic.png"
99
100 Just like a mathematical expression with functions, you should read these
101 expressions from right to left, as the C<load> is evaluated first, and
102 its result becomes the argument to the C<scale> function.
103
104 Many operators also allow some parameters preceding the input image
105 that modify its behaviour. For example, C<scale> without any additional
106 arguments scales the image to size of the terminal window. If you specify
107 an additional argument, it uses it as a scale factor (multiply by 100 to
108 get a percentage):
109
110 scale 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
111
112 This enlarges the image by a factor of 2 (200%). As you can see, C<scale>
113 has now two arguments, the C<200> and the C<load> expression, while
114 C<load> only has one argument. Arguments are separated from each other by
115 commas.
116
117 Scale also accepts two arguments, which are then separate factors for both
118 horizontal and vertical dimensions. For example, this halves the image
119 width and doubles the image height:
120
121 scale 0.5, 2, load "$HOME/mypic.png"
122
123 IF you try out these expressions, you might suffer from some sluggishness,
124 because each time the terminal is resized, it loads the PNG image agin
125 and scales it. Scaling is usually fast (and unavoidable), but loading the
126 image can be quite time consuming. This is where C<keep> comes in handy:
127
128 scale 0.5, 2, keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
129
130 The C<keep> operator executes all the statements inside the braces only
131 once, or when it thinks the outcome might change. In other cases it
132 returns the last value computed by the brace block.
133
134 This means that the C<load> is only executed once, which makes it much
135 faster, but also means that more memory is being used, because the loaded
136 image must be kept in memory at all times. In this expression, the
137 trade-off is likely worth it.
138
139 But back to effects: Other effects than scaling are also readily
140 available, for example, you can tile the image to fill the whole window,
141 instead of resizing it:
142
143 tile keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
144
145 In fact, images returned by C<load> are in C<tile> mode by default, so the
146 C<tile> operator is kind of superfluous.
147
148 Another common effect is to mirror the image, so that the same edges
149 touch:
150
151 mirror keep { load "$HOME/mypic.png" }
152
153 Another common background expression is:
154
155 rootalign root
156
157 This one first takes a snapshot of the screen background image, and then
158 moves it to the upper left corner of the screen (as opposed to the upper
159 left corner of the terminal window)- the result is pseudo-transparency:
160 the image seems to be static while the window is moved around.
161
162 =head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
163
164 Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
165 caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
166 also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
167 is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
168 running inside urxvtd.
169
170 =head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
171
172 The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
173 ... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
174 by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
175
176 An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
177 scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
178 using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
179 certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
180 directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
181 using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
182 size, and thus to resizing events.
183
184 When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
185 reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
186
187 C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
188
189 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
190
191 This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
192 calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
193 C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
194 blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
195 changes).
196
197 =head3 C<load> caching
198
199 The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
200 the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
201 of loading it freshly from disk.
202
203 That means that this expression:
204
205 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
206
207 Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
208 C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.
209
210 =head1 REFERENCE
211
212 =head2 COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
213
214 =over 4
215
216 =item --background-expr perl-expression
217
218 Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
219
220 =item --background-border
221
222 By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
223 overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
224
225 Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
226 replaces the background of the character area.
227
228 =item --background-interval seconds
229
230 Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
231 freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
232 time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.
233
234 If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety
235 interval with this switch.

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

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

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

327 $img->fill ($colour);
328 $img
329 }
330
331 =item clone $img
332
333 Returns an exact copy of the image. This is useful if you want to have
334 multiple copies of the same image to apply different effects to.

336 =cut
337
338 sub clone($) {
339 $_[0]->clone

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

377 $base->repeat_mode ($_[0]->repeat_mode);
378 $base->fill ([0, 0, 0, 0]);

386 =head2 TILING MODES
387
388 The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
389 way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
390
391 =over 4
392
393 =item tile $img
394
395 Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
396 other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
397
398 Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
399 resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
400 to tiling mode.
401
402 tile load "mybg.png"
403
404 =item mirror $img
405
406 Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
407 that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
408 edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
409 and top always touch bottom edges).
410
411 Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
412 edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
413
414 mirror load "mybg.png"
415
416 =item pad $img
417
418 Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
419 become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
420 image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
421 background pixels outside the image unchanged.
422
423 Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
424 of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does
425 in alpha mode, else background colour).
426
427 pad load "mybg.png"
428
429 =item extend $img
430
431 Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
432 area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you use more complex
433 filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
434 same values as the pixels near the edge.
435
436 Example: just for curiosity, how does this pixel extension stuff work?
437
438 extend move 50, 50, load "mybg.png"
439
440 =cut
441
442 sub pad($) {
443 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
444 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNone);
445 $img
446 }
447
448 sub tile($) {
449 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
450 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNormal);
451 $img
452 }
453
454 sub mirror($) {
455 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
456 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatReflect);
457 $img
458 }
459
460 sub extend($) {
461 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
462 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatPad);
463 $img
464 }

466 =back
467
468 =head2 VARIABLE VALUES
469
470 The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
471 dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
472 varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
473 example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
474 again when the terminal is resized.
475
476 =over 4
477
478 =item TX
479
480 =item TY
481
482 Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
483 window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
484 border-respect mode).
485
486 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
487
488 These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
489
490 Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
491 background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
492
493 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
494
495 =item TW
496
497 Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
498 terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
499 when in border-respect mode).
500
501 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
502
503 These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
504 the window size to conserve memory.
505
506 Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
507 bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
508
509 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }
510
511 =cut
512
513 sub TX() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $x }
514 sub TY() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $y }
515 sub TW() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $w }
516 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
517
518 =item now
519
520 Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
521
522 Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
523 but the next two functions do.
524
525 =item again $seconds
526
527 When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
528 C<$seconds> seconds.
529
530 Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
531 the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
532
533 again 60;
534 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
535
536 =item counter $seconds
537
538 Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
539 0, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.
540
541 =cut
542
543 sub now() { urxvt::NOW }
544
545 sub again($) {
546 $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{time} = $_[0];
547 }
548
549 sub counter($) {
550 $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{time} = $_[0];
551 $frame->[FR_STATE]{counter} + 0
552 }

555
556 =head2 SHAPE CHANGING OPERATORS
557
558 The following operators modify the shape, size or position of the image.
559
560 =over 4
561
562 =item clip $img
563
564 =item clip $width, $height, $img
565
566 =item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
567
568 Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
569 image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
570 larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
571 will be filled.
572
573 If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
574
575 If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
576 assumed.
577
578 Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
579 memory.
580
581 clip keep { blur 10, load "mybg.png" }
582
583 =cut
584
585 sub clip($;$$;$$) {
586 my $img = pop;
587 my $h = pop || TH;
588 my $w = pop || TW;
589 $img->sub_rect ($_[0], $_[1], $w, $h)
590 }
591
592 =item scale $img
593
594 =item scale $size_factor, $img
595
596 =item scale $width_factor, $height_factor, $img
597
598 Scales the image by the given factors in horizontal
599 (C<$width>) and vertical (C<$height>) direction.
600
601 If only one factor is give, it is used for both directions.
602
603 If no factors are given, scales the image to the window size without
604 keeping aspect.
605
606 =item resize $width, $height, $img
607
608 Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
609
610 =item fit $img
611
612 =item fit $width, $height, $img
613
614 Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
615 aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
616 the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.
617
618 =item cover $img

620 =item cover $width, $height, $img
621
622 Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered
623 by the image, so instead of potentially leaving borders, it will cut off
624 image data that doesn't fit.

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

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

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

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

844 =head2 OTHER STUFF
845
846 Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
847 force and closing our eyes.
848
849 =over 4
850
851 =item keep { ... }
852
853 This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
854 statements enclosed by braces.
855
856 The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
857 changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
858 previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
859 C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
860 computed again.
861
862 This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
863 example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
864 and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
865 window move or resize.
866
867 Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
868
869 In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
870 C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
871
872 Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
873 once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
874
875 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
876
877 This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
878 in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
879 is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
880 changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
