13 urxvt --background-expr 'background expression'

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 "$HOME/sunday.png";
75 }
76 }
77
78 This inner expression is evaluated once per hour (and whenever the
79 terminal window is resized). It sets F<sunday.png> as background on
80 Sundays, and F<weekday.png> on all other days.
81
82 Fortunately, we expect that most expressions will be much simpler, with
83 little Perl knowledge needed.
84
85 Basically, you always start with a function that "generates" an image
86 object, such as C<load>, which loads an image from disk, or C<root>, which
87 returns the root window background image:
88
89 load "$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 again
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 operator 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, even if another copy of it
295 is in memory at the time.

312
313 =item root
314
315 Returns the root window pixmap, that is, hopefully, the background image
316 of your screen.
317
318 This function makes your expression root sensitive, that means it will be
319 reevaluated when the bg image changes.

327
328 =item solid $colour
329
330 =item solid $width, $height, $colour
331
332 Creates a new image and completely fills it with the given colour. The
333 image is set to tiling mode.
334
335 If C<$width> and C<$height> are omitted, it creates a 1x1 image, which is
336 useful for solid backgrounds or for use in filtering effects.

346 }
347
348 =item clone $img

350 Returns an exact copy of the image. This is useful if you want to have
351 multiple copies of the same image to apply different effects to.

359 =item merge $img ...
360
361 Takes any number of images and merges them together, creating a single
362 image containing them all. The tiling mode of the first image is used as
363 the tiling mode of the resulting image.
364
365 This function is called automatically when an expression returns multiple
366 images.

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

464
465 sub tile($) {
466 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
467 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatNormal);
468 $img
469 }
470
471 sub mirror($) {
472 my $img = $_[0]->clone;
473 $img->repeat_mode (urxvt::RepeatReflect);

480 $img

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

558 =cut
559
560 sub now() { urxvt::NOW }

573 =head2 SHAPE CHANGING OPERATORS
574
575 The following operators modify the shape, size or position of the image.
576
577 =over 4
578
579 =item clip $img
580
581 =item clip $width, $height, $img
582
583 =item clip $x, $y, $width, $height, $img
584
585 Clips an image to the given rectangle. If the rectangle is outside the
586 image area (e.g. when C<$x> or C<$y> are negative) or the rectangle is
587 larger than the image, then the tiling mode defines how the extra pixels
588 will be filled.
589
590 If C<$x> an C<$y> are missing, then C<0> is assumed for both.
591
592 If C<$width> and C<$height> are missing, then the window size will be
593 assumed.
594
595 Example: load an image, blur it, and clip it to the window size to save
596 memory.
597
598 clip keep { blur 10, load "mybg.png" }

616 (C<$width>) and vertical (C<$height>) direction.
617
618 If only one factor is give, it is used for both directions.
619
620 If no factors are given, scales the image to the window size without
621 keeping aspect.
622
623 =item resize $width, $height, $img
624
625 Resizes the image to exactly C<$width> times C<$height> pixels.
626
627 =item fit $img
628
629 =item fit $width, $height, $img
630
631 Fits the image into the given C<$width> and C<$height> without changing
632 aspect, or the terminal size. That means it will be shrunk or grown until
633 the whole image fits into the given area, possibly leaving borders.
634
635 =item cover $img
636
637 =item cover $width, $height, $img
638
639 Similar to C<fit>, but shrinks or grows until all of the area is covered
640 by the image, so instead of potentially leaving borders, it will cut off
641 image data that doesn't fit.

672 =item move $dx, $dy, $img
673
674 Moves the image by C<$dx> pixels in the horizontal, and C<$dy> pixels in
675 the vertical.
676
677 Example: move the image right by 20 pixels and down by 30.
678
679 move 20, 30, ...
680
681 =item align $xalign, $yalign, $img
682
683 Aligns the image according to a factor - C<0> means the image is moved to
684 the left or top edge (for C<$xalign> or C<$yalign>), C<0.5> means it is
685 exactly centered and C<1> means it touches the right or bottom edge.
686
687 Example: remove any visible border around an image, center it vertically but move
688 it to the right hand side.
689
690 align 1, 0.5, pad $img
691
692 =item center $img
693
694 =item center $width, $height, $img
695
696 Centers the image, i.e. the center of the image is moved to the center of
697 the terminal window (or the box specified by C<$width> and C<$height> if
698 given).
699
700 Example: load an image and center it.
701
702 center keep { pad load "mybg.png" }
703
704 =item rootalign $img
705
706 Moves the image so that it appears glued to the screen as opposed to the
707 window. This gives the illusion of a larger area behind the window. It is
708 exactly equivalent to C<move -TX, -TY>, that is, it moves the image to the
709 top left of the screen.
710
711 Example: load a background image, put it in mirror mode and root align it.
712
713 rootalign keep { mirror load "mybg.png" }
714
715 Example: take the screen background and align it, giving the illusion of
716 transparency as long as the window isn't in front of other windows.

750 Rotates the image clockwise by C<$degrees> degrees, around the point at
751 C<$center_x> and C<$center_y> (specified as factor of image width/height).
752
753 Example: rotate the image by 90 degrees around it's center.

781
782 tint "red", load "rgb.png"
783

795
796 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $img
797
798 =item contrast $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
799
800 Adjusts the I<contrast> of an image.
801
802 The first form applies a single C<$factor> to red, green and blue, the
803 second form applies separate factors to each colour channel, and the last
804 form includes the alpha channel.
805
806 Values from 0 to 1 lower the contrast, values higher than 1 increase the
807 contrast.
808
809 Due to limitations in the underlying XRender extension, lowering contrast
810 also reduces brightness, while increasing contrast currently also
811 increases brightness.
812
813 =item brightness $bias, $img
814
815 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $img
816
817 =item brightness $r, $g, $b, $a, $img
818
819 Adjusts the brightness of an image.
820
821 The first form applies a single C<$bias> to red, green and blue, the
822 second form applies separate biases to each colour channel, and the last
823 form includes the alpha channel.
824
825 Values less than 0 reduce brightness, while values larger than 0 increase
826 it. Useful range is from -1 to 1 - the former results in a black, the
827 latter in a white picture.
828
829 Due to idiosyncrasies in the underlying XRender extension, biases less
830 than zero can be I<very> slow.

858 =item blur $radius, $img
859
860 =item blur $radius_horz, $radius_vert, $img
861
862 Gaussian-blurs the image with (roughly) C<$radius> pixel radius. The radii
863 can also be specified separately.
864
865 Blurring is often I<very> slow, at least compared or other
866 operators. Larger blur radii are slower than smaller ones, too, so if you
867 don't want to freeze your screen for long times, start experimenting with
868 low values for radius (<5).

879 =head2 OTHER STUFF
880
881 Anything that didn't fit any of the other categories, even after applying
882 force and closing our eyes.
883
884 =over 4
885
886 =item keep { ... }
887
888 This operator takes a code block as argument, that is, one or more
889 statements enclosed by braces.
890
891 The trick is that this code block is only evaluated when the outcome
892 changes - on other calls the C<keep> simply returns the image it computed
893 previously (yes, it should only be used with images). Or in other words,
894 C<keep> I<caches> the result of the code block so it doesn't need to be
895 computed again.
896
897 This can be extremely useful to avoid redoing slow operations - for
898 example, if your background expression takes the root background, blurs it
899 and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the root background on every
900 window move or resize.
901
902 Another example is C<load>, which can be quite slow.
903
904 In fact, urxvt itself encloses the whole expression in some kind of
905 C<keep> block so it only is reevaluated as required.
906
907 Putting the blur into a C<keep> block will make sure the blur is only done
908 once, while the C<rootalign> is still done each time the window moves.
909
910 rootalign keep { blur 10, root }
911
912 This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block,
913 in case the root background changes: If expression inside the block
914 is sensitive to some event (root background changes, window geometry
915 changes), then it will be reevaluated automatically as needed.
