389 436
437=item $nrow = $term->nrow
438
439=item $ncol = $term->ncol
440
441Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
442specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
443
444=item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
445
446Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
447
448=item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
449
450Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
451C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
452this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
453
454=item $term->want_refresh
455
456Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
457compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
458differ, it redraws the differences.
459
460Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
461
462=item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
463
464Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
465is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
466terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
467line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
468
469If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
470line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
471to replace only parts of a line. The font iindex in the rendition will
472automatically be updated.
473
474C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
475than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
476(C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
477that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
478characters in the private use area.
479
480You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
481that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
482characters.
483
484The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
485can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
486
487=item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
488
489Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
490bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
491styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
492
493When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
494
495See the section on RENDITION, below.
496
497=item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
498
499Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
500it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
501means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
502
503=item $text = $term->special_encode $string
504
505Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
506where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
507C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
508
509=item $string = $term->special_decode $text
510
511Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
512C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.

515
516=head2 RENDITION
517
518Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
519similar information for each screen cell.
520
521The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
522never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
523as they contain important information required for correct operation of
524rxvt-unicode.
