11 =head1 SYNOPSIS
12
13 urxvt --background-expr 'background expression'
14 --background-border

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 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
163
164 Whenever an oprator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
165 of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
166
167 "red" # named colour
168 "#f00" # simple rgb
169 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
170 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
171
172 OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
173
174 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
175 [0.5, 0, 0] # dark red, no green or blur, 100% alpha
176 [0.5, 0, 0, 0.7] # same with explicit 70% alpha
177
178 =head2 CACHING AND SENSITIVITY
179
180 Since some operations (such as C<load> and C<blur>) can take a long time,
181 caching results can be very important for a smooth operation. Caching can
182 also be useful to reduce memory usage, though, for example, when an image
183 is cached by C<load>, it could be shared by multiple terminal windows
184 running inside urxvtd.
185
186 =head3 C<keep { ... }> caching
187
188 The most important way to cache expensive operations is to use C<keep {
189 ... }>. The C<keep> operator takes a block of multiple statements enclosed
190 by C<{}> and keeps the return value in memory.
191
192 An expression can be "sensitive" to various external events, such as
193 scaling or moving the window, root background changes and timers. Simply
194 using an expression (such as C<scale> without parameters) that depends on
195 certain changing values (called "variables"), or using those variables
196 directly, will make an expression sensitive to these events - for example,
197 using C<scale> or C<TW> will make the expression sensitive to the terminal
198 size, and thus to resizing events.
199
200 When such an event happens, C<keep> will automatically trigger a
201 reevaluation of the whole expression with the new value of the expression.
202
203 C<keep> is most useful for expensive operations, such as C<blur>:
204
205 rootalign keep { blur 20, root }
206
207 This makes a blurred copy of the root background once, and on subsequent
208 calls, just root-aligns it. Since C<blur> is usually quite slow and
209 C<rootalign> is quite fast, this trades extra memory (for the cached
210 blurred pixmap) with speed (blur only needs to be redone when root
211 changes).
212
213 =head3 C<load> caching
214
215 The C<load> operator itself does not keep images in memory, but as long as
216 the image is still in memory, C<load> will use the in-memory image instead
217 of loading it freshly from disk.
218
219 That means that this expression:
220
221 keep { load "$HOME/path..." }
222
223 Not only caches the image in memory, other terminal instances that try to
224 C<load> it can reuse that in-memory copy.
225
226 =head1 REFERENCE
227
228 =head2 COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
229
230 =over 4
231
232 =item --background-expr perl-expression
233
234 Specifies the Perl expression to evaluate.
235
236 =item --background-border
237
238 By default, the expression creates an image that fills the full window,
239 overwriting borders and any other areas, such as the scrollbar.
240
241 Specifying this flag changes the behaviour, so that the image only
242 replaces the background of the character area.
243
244 =item --background-interval seconds
245
246 Since some operations in the underlying XRender extension can effectively
247 freeze your X-server for prolonged time, this extension enforces a minimum
248 time between updates, which is normally about 0.1 seconds.
249
250 If you want to do updates more often, you can decrease this safety
251 interval with this switch.

275 =head2 PROVIDERS/GENERATORS
276
277 These functions provide an image, by loading it from disk, grabbing it
278 from the root screen or by simply generating it. They are used as starting
279 points to get an image you can play with.
280
281 =over 4
282
283 =item load $path
284
285 Loads the image at the given C<$path>. The image is set to plane tiling
286 mode.
287
288 If the image is already in memory (e.g. because another terminal instance
289 uses it), then the in-memory copy us returned instead.
290
291 =item load_uc $path
292
293 Load uncached - same as load, but does not cache the image, which means it
294 is I<always> loaded from the filesystem again.
295

297
298 sub load($) {

304 $img
305 }
306 }
307
308 =item root
309
310 Returns the root window pixmap, that is, hopefully, the background image
311 of your screen.
312
313 This function makes your expression root sensitive, that means it will be
314 reevaluated when the bg image changes.

321 }
322
323 =item solid $colour
324
325 =item solid $width, $height, $colour
326
327 Creates a new image and completely fills it with the given colour. The
328 image is set to tiling mode.
329
330 If C<$width> and C<$height> are omitted, it creates a 1x1 image, which is
331 useful for solid backgrounds or for use in filtering effects.

339 $img->fill ($colour);
340 $img
341 }
342
343 =item clone $img
344
345 Returns an exact copy of the image. This is useful if you want to have
346 multiple copies of the same image to apply different effects to.
347
348 =cut
349
350 sub clone($) {
351 $_[0]->clone
352 }
353
354 =item merge $img ...
355
356 Takes any number of images and merges them together, creating a single
357 image containing them all. The tiling mode of the first image is used as
358 the tiling mode of the resulting image.
359
360 This function is called automatically when an expression returns multiple
361 images.

398 =head2 TILING MODES
399
400 The following operators modify the tiling mode of an image, that is, the
401 way that pixels outside the image area are painted when the image is used.
402
403 =over 4
404
405 =item tile $img
406
407 Tiles the whole plane with the image and returns this new image - or in
408 other words, it returns a copy of the image in plane tiling mode.
409
410 Example: load an image and tile it over the background, without
411 resizing. The C<tile> call is superfluous because C<load> already defaults
412 to tiling mode.
413
414 tile load "mybg.png"
415
416 =item mirror $img
417
418 Similar to tile, but reflects the image each time it uses a new copy, so
419 that top edges always touch top edges, right edges always touch right
420 edges and so on (with normal tiling, left edges always touch right edges
421 and top always touch bottom edges).
422
423 Example: load an image and mirror it over the background, avoiding sharp
424 edges at the image borders at the expense of mirroring the image itself
425
426 mirror load "mybg.png"
427
428 =item pad $img
429
430 Takes an image and modifies it so that all pixels outside the image area
431 become transparent. This mode is most useful when you want to place an
432 image over another image or the background colour while leaving all
433 background pixels outside the image unchanged.
434
435 Example: load an image and display it in the upper left corner. The rest
436 of the space is left "empty" (transparent or whatever your compositor does
437 in alpha mode, else background colour).
438
439 pad load "mybg.png"
440
441 =item extend $img
442
443 Extends the image over the whole plane, using the closest pixel in the
444 area outside the image. This mode is mostly useful when you use more complex
445 filtering operations and want the pixels outside the image to have the
446 same values as the pixels near the edge.
447
448 Example: just for curiosity, how does this pixel extension stuff work?
449
450 extend move 50, 50, load "mybg.png"
451
452 =cut
453
454 sub pad($) {
455 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
456 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNone);
457 $img
458 }
459
460 sub tile($) {
461 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
462 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNormal);
463 $img
464 }
465
466 sub mirror($) {
467 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
468 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatReflect);
469 $img
470 }
471
472 sub extend($) {
473 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
474 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatPad);
475 $img
476 }

479
480 =head2 VARIABLE VALUES
481
482 The following functions provide variable data such as the terminal window
483 dimensions. They are not (Perl-) variables, they just return stuff that
484 varies. Most of them make your expression sensitive to some events, for
485 example using C<TW> (terminal width) means your expression is evaluated
486 again when the terminal is resized.
487
488 =over 4
489
490 =item TX
491
492 =item TY
493
494 Return the X and Y coordinates of the terminal window (the terminal
495 window is the full window by default, and the character area only when in
496 border-respect mode).
497
498 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window moves.
499
500 These functions are mainly useful to align images to the root window.
501
502 Example: load an image and align it so it looks as if anchored to the
503 background (that's exactly what C<rootalign> does btw.):
504
505 move -TX, -TY, keep { load "mybg.png" }
506
507 =item TW
508
509 Return the width (C<TW>) and height (C<TH>) of the terminal window (the
510 terminal window is the full window by default, and the character area only
511 when in border-respect mode).
512
513 Using these functions make your expression sensitive to window resizes.
514
515 These functions are mainly useful to scale images, or to clip images to
516 the window size to conserve memory.
517
518 Example: take the screen background, clip it to the window size, blur it a
519 bit, align it to the window position and use it as background.
520
521 clip move -TX, -TY, keep { blur 5, root }
522
523 =cut
524
525 sub TX() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $x }
526 sub TY() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{position} = 1; $y }
527 sub TW() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $w }
528 sub TH() { $frame->[FR_AGAIN]{size} = 1; $h }
529
530 =item now
531
532 Returns the current time as (fractional) seconds since the epoch.
533
534 Using this expression does I<not> make your expression sensitive to time,
535 but the next two functions do.
536
537 =item again $seconds
538
539 When this function is used the expression will be reevaluated again in
540 C<$seconds> seconds.
541
542 Example: load some image and rotate it according to the time of day (as if it were
543 the hour pointer of a clock). Update this image every minute.
544
545 again 60;
546 rotate 50, 50, (now % 86400) * -72 / 8640, scale keep { load "myclock.png" }
547
548 =item counter $seconds
549
550 Like C<again>, but also returns an increasing counter value, starting at
551 0, which might be useful for some simple animation effects.
552
553 =cut
554
555 sub now() { urxvt::NOW }
556

568 =head2 SHAPE CHANGING OPERATORS
569
570 The following operators modify the shape, size or position of the image.
571
572 =over 4
573
574 =item clip $img
575
576 =item clip $width, $height, $img
577
578 =item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
579
580 Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
581 image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
582 larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
583 will be filled.
584
585 If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
586
587 If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
588 assumed.
589
590 Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
591 memory.
592
593 clip keep { blur 10, load "mybg.png" }
594
595 =cut

604 =item scale $img
605
606 =item scale $size_factor, $img
607
608 =item scale $width_factor, $height_factor, $img
609
610 Scales the image by the given factors in horizontal
611 (C<$width>) and vertical (C<$height>) direction.
612
613 If only one factor is give, it is used for both directions.
614
615 If no factors are given, scales the image to the window size without
616 keeping aspect.
617
618 =item resize $width, $height, $img
619
620 Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
621
622 =item fit $img
623
624 =item fit $width, $height, $img
625
626 Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
627 aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
628 the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.
629
630 =item cover $img
631
632 =item cover $width, $height, $img
633
634 Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered
635 by the image, so instead of potentially leaving borders, it will cut off
636 image data that doesn't fit.

667 =item move $dx, $dy, $img
668
669 Moves the image by C<$dx> pixels in the horizontal, and C<$dy> pixels in
670 the vertical.
671
672 Example: move the image right by 20 pixels and down by 30.
673
674 move 20, 30, ...
675
676 =item align $xalign, $yalign, $img
677
678 Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
679 the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
680 exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
681
682 Example: remove any visible border around an image, center it vertically but move
683 it to the right hand side.
684
685 align 1, 0.5, pad $img
686
687 =item center $img
688
689 =item center $width, $height, $img
690
691 Centers the image, i.e. the center of the image is moved to the center of
692 the terminal window (or the box specified by C<$width> and C<$height> if
693 given).
694
695 Example: load an image and center it.
696
697 center keep { pad load "mybg.png" }
698
699 =item rootalign $img
700
701 Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
702 window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
703 exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
704 top left of the screen.
705
706 Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
707
708 rootalign keep { mirror load "mybg.png" }
709
710 Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
711 transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.

746 C<$center_x> and C<$center_y> (specified as factor of image width/height).
747
748 Example: rotate the image by 90 degrees around it's center.

776
777 tint "red", load "rgb.png"

790
791 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $img
792
793 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
794
795 Adjusts the I<contrast> of an image.
796
797 The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the
798 second form applies separate factors to each colour channel, and the last
799 form includes the alpha channel.
800
801 Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
802 contrast.
803
804 Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
805 also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
806 increases brightness.
807
808 =item brightness $bias, $img
809
810 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $img
811
812 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
813
814 Adjusts the brightness of an image.
815
816 The first form applies a single C<$bias> to red, green and blue, the
817 second form applies separate biases to each colour channel, and the last
818 form includes the alpha channel.
819
820 Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
821 it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
822 latter in a white picture.
823
824 Due to idiosyncrasies in the underlying XRender extension, biases less
825 than zero can be I<very> slow.

853 =item blur $radius, $img
854
855 =item blur $radius_horz, $radius_vert, $img
856
857 Gaussian-blurs the image with (roughly) C<$radius> pixel radius. The radii
858 can also be specified separately.
859
860 Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other
861 operators. Larger blur radii are slower than smaller ones, too, so if you
862 don't want to freeze your screen for long times, start experimenting with
863 low values for radius (<5).

874 =head2 OTHER STUFF
875
876 Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
877 force and closing our eyes.
878
879 =over 4
880
881 =item keep { ... }
882
883 This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
884 statements enclosed by braces.
885
886 The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
887 changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
888 previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
889 C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
890 computed again.
891
892 This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
893 example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
894 and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
895 window move or resize.
896
897 Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
898
899 In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
900 C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
901
902 Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
903 once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
904
905 rootlign keep { blur 10, root }
906
907 This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
908 in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
909 is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
910 changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
