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

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