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.
279

281
282 sub load($) {

287 Scalar::Util::weaken ($_IMG_CACHE{$path} = $img);
288 $img
289 }
290 }
291
292 =item root
293
294 Returns the root window pixmap, that is, hopefully, the background image
295 of your screen.
296
297 This function makes your expression root sensitive, that means it will be
298 reevaluated when the bg image changes.

306
307 =item solid $colour
308
309 =item solid $width, $height, $colour
310
311 Creates a new image and completely fills it with the given colour. The
312 image is set to tiling mode.
313
314 If C<$width> and C<$height> are omitted, it creates a 1x1 image, which is
315 useful for solid backgrounds or for use in filtering effects.

323 $img->fill ($colour);
324 $img
325 }
326
327 =item clone $img
328
329 Returns an exact copy of the image. This is useful if you want to have
330 multiple copies of the same image to apply different effects to.
331
332 =cut
333
334 sub clone($) {
335 $_[0]->clone
336 }
337
338 =item merge $img ...
339
340 Takes any number of images and merges them together, creating a single
341 image containing them all. The tiling mode of the first image is used as
342 the tiling mode of the resulting image.
343
344 This function is called automatically when an expression returns multiple
345 images.

374 $base->fill ([0, 0, 0, 0]);

381
382 =head2 TILING MODES
383
384 The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
385 way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
386
387 =over 4
388
389 =item tile $img
390
391 Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
392 other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
393
394 Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
395 resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
396 to tiling mode.
397
398 tile load "mybg.png"
399
400 =item mirror $img
401
402 Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
403 that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
404 edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
405 and top always touch bottom edges).
406
407 Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
408 edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
409
410 mirror load "mybg.png"
411
412 =item pad $img
413
414 Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
415 become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
416 image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
417 background pixels outside the image unchanged.
418
419 Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
420 of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does
421 in alpha mode, else background colour).
422
423 pad load "mybg.png"
424
425 =item extend $img
426
427 Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
428 area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you use more complex
429 filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
430 same values as the pixels near the edge.
431
432 Example: just for curiosity, how does this pixel extension stuff work?
433
434 extend move 50, 50, load "mybg.png"
435
436 =cut
437
438 sub pad($) {
439 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
440 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNone);
441 $img
442 }
443
444 sub tile($) {
445 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
446 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNormal);
447 $img
448 }
449
450 sub mirror($) {
451 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
452 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatReflect);
453 $img
454 }
455
456 sub extend($) {
457 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
458 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatPad);
459 $img
460 }

462 =back
463
464 =head2 VARIABLE VALUES
465
466 The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
467 dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
468 varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
469 example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
470 again when the terminal is resized.
471
472 =over 4
473
474 =item TX
475
476 =item TY
477
478 Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
479 window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
480 border-respect mode).
481
482 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
483
484 These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
485
486 Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
487 background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
488
489 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
490
491 =item TW
492
493 Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
494 terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
495 when in border-respect mode).
496
497 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
498
499 These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
500 the window size to conserve memory.
501
502 Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
503 bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
504
505 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }
506
507 =cut
508
509 sub TX() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $x }
510 sub TY() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $y }
511 sub TW() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $w }
512 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
513
514 =item now
515
516 Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
517
518 Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
519 but the next two functions do.
520
521 =item again $seconds
522
523 When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
524 C<$seconds> seconds.
525
526 Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
527 the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
528
529 again 60;
530 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
531
532 =item counter $seconds
533
534 Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
535 0, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.
536
537 =cut
538
539 sub now() { urxvt::NOW }
540
541 sub again($) {
542 $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{time} = $_[0];
543 }
544
545 sub counter($) {
546 $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{time} = $_[0];
547 $frame->[FR_STATE]{counter} + 0
548 }

551
552 =head2 SHAPE CHANGING OPERATORS
553
554 The following operators modify the shape, size or position of the image.
555
556 =over 4
557
558 =item clip $img
559
560 =item clip $width, $height, $img
561
562 =item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
563
564 Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
565 image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
566 larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
567 will be filled.
568
569 If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
570
571 If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
572 assumed.
573
574 Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
575 memory.
576
577 clip keep { blur 10, load "mybg.png" }
578
579 =cut
580
581 sub clip($;$$;$$) {
582 my $img = pop;
583 my $h = pop || TH;
584 my $w = pop || TW;

586 }
587
588 =item scale $img
589
590 =item scale $size_factor, $img
591
592 =item scale $width_factor, $height_factor, $img
593
594 Scales the image by the given factors in horizontal
595 (C<$width>) and vertical (C<$height>) direction.
596
597 If only one factor is give, it is used for both directions.
598
599 If no factors are given, scales the image to the window size without
600 keeping aspect.
601
602 =item resize $width, $height, $img
603
604 Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
605
606 =item fit $img
607
608 =item fit $width, $height, $img
609
610 Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
611 aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
612 the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.
613
614 =item cover $img
615
616 =item cover $width, $height, $img
617
618 Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered
619 by the image, so instead of potentially leaving borders, it will cut off
620 image data that doesn't fit.

651 =item move $dx, $dy, $img
652
653 Moves the image by C<$dx> pixels in the horizontal, and C<$dy> pixels in
654 the vertical.
655
656 Example: move the image right by 20 pixels and down by 30.
657
658 move 20, 30, ...
659
660 =item align $xalign, $yalign, $img
661
662 Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
663 the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
664 exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
665
666 Example: remove any visible border around an image, center it vertically but move
667 it to the right hand side.
668
669 align 1, 0.5, pad $img
670
671 =item center $img
672
673 =item center $width, $height, $img
674
675 Centers the image, i.e. the center of the image is moved to the center of
676 the terminal window (or the box specified by C<$width> and C<$height> if
677 given).
678
679 Example: load an image and center it.
680
681 center keep { pad load "mybg.png" }
682
683 =item rootalign $img
684
685 Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
686 window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
687 exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
688 top left of the screen.
689
690 Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
691
692 rootalign keep { mirror load "mybg.png" }
693
694 Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
695 transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.

728
729 Rotates the image clockwise by C<$degrees> degrees, around the point at
730 C<$center_x> and C<$center_y> (specified as factor of image width/height).
731
732 Example: rotate the image by 90 degrees around it's center.

750
751 The following operators change the pixels of the image.
752
753 =over 4
754
755 =item contrast $factor, $img
756
757 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $img
758
759 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
760
761 Adjusts the I<contrast> of an image.
762
763 The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the
764 second form applies separate factors to each colour channel, and the last
765 form includes the alpha channel.
766
767 Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
768 contrast.
769
770 Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
771 also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
772 increases brightness.
773
774 =item brightness $bias, $img
775
776 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $img
777
778 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
779
780 Adjusts the brightness of an image.
781
782 The first form applies a single C<$bias> to red, green and blue, the
783 second form applies separate biases to each colour channel, and the last
784 form includes the alpha channel.
785
786 Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
787 it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
788 latter in a white picture.
789
790 Due to idiosyncrasies in the underlying XRender extension, biases less
791 than zero can be I<very> slow.

818
819 =item blur $radius, $img
820
821 =item blur $radius_horz, $radius_vert, $img
822
823 Gaussian-blurs the image with (roughly) C<$radius> pixel radius. The radii
824 can also be specified separately.
825
826 Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other
827 operators. Larger blur radii are slower than smaller ones, too, so if you
828 don't want to freeze your screen for long times, start experimenting with
829 low values for radius (<5).

840 =head2 OTHER STUFF
841
842 Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
843 force and closing our eyes.
844
845 =over 4
846
847 =item keep { ... }
848
849 This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
850 statements enclosed by braces.
851
852 The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
853 changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
854 previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
855 C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
856 computed again.
857
858 This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
859 example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
860 and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
861 window move or resize.
862
863 Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
864
865 In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
866 C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
867
868 Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
869 once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
870
871 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
872
873 This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
874 in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
875 is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
876 changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
