199=head2 RENDITION
200
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.

210
211=item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
212
213Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
214being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
215
216=item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
217
218Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
219
220=item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, RS_Italic, RS_Blink, RS_RVid, RS_Uline
221
222Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
223underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
224the bitset.
225
226=item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
227
228=item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend
229
230Return the foreground/background colour index, respectively.

233
234=item $rend = urxvt::SET_BGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
235
236Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
237specified one.
238
239=item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM ($rend)
240
241Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
242extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
243zero.
244
245=item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM ($rend, $new_value)

489=item $nrow = $term->nrow
490
491=item $ncol = $term->ncol
492
493Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
494specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
495
496=item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
497
498Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
499
500=item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
501
502Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
503C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
504this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
505
506=item $term->want_refresh
507
508Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
509compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
510differ, it redraws the differences.
511
512Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
513
514=item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
515
516Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
517is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
518terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
519line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
520
521If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
522line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
523to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
524automatically be updated.
525
526C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
527than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
528(C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
529that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
530characters in the private use area.
531
532You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
533that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
534characters.
535
536The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
537can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
538
539=item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
540
541Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
542bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
543styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
544
545When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
546
547See the section on RENDITION, above.
548
549=item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
550
551Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
552it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
553means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
554
555=item $text = $term->special_encode $string
556
557Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
558where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
559C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
560
561=item $string = $term->special_decode $text
562
563Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
564C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
