201Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
202similar information for each screen cell.
203
204The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
205never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
206as they contain important information required for correct operation of
207rxvt-unicode.

492
493=item $nrow = $term->nrow
494
495=item $ncol = $term->ncol
496
497Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
498specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
499
500=item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
501
502Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
503
504=item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
505
506Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
507C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
508this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
509
510=item $term->want_refresh
511
512Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
513compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
514differ, it redraws the differences.
515
516Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
517
518=item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
519
520Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
521is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
522terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
523line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
524
525If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
526line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
527to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
528automatically be updated.
529
530C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
531than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
532(C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
533that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
534characters in the private use area.
535
536You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
537that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
538characters.
539
540The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
541can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
542
543=item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
544
545Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
546bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
547styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
548
549When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
550
551See the section on RENDITION, above.
552
553=item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
554
555Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
556it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
557means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
558
559=item $text = $term->special_encode $string
560
561Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
562where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
563C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
564
565=item $string = $term->special_decode $text
566
567Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
568C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
