560=item $ncol = $term->ncol
561
562Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
563specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
564
565=item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
566
567Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
568
569=item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
570
571Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
572C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
573this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
574
575=item $term->want_refresh
576
577Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
578compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
579differ, it redraws the differences.
580
581Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
582
583=item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
584
585Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
586is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
587terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
588line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
589
590If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
591line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
592to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
593automatically be updated.
594
595C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
596than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
597(C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
598that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
599characters in the private use area.
600
601You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
602that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
603characters.
604
605The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
606can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
607
608=item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
609
610Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
611bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
612styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
613
614When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
615
616See the section on RENDITION, above.
617
618=item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
619
620Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
621it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
622means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
623
624=item $text = $term->special_encode $string
625
626Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
627where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
628C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
629
630=item $string = $term->special_decode $text
631
632Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
633C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.

394 638
395This class implements timer watchers/events. Time is represented as a 639This class implements timer watchers/events. Time is represented as a
396fractional number of seconds since the epoch. Example: 640fractional number of seconds since the epoch. Example:
397 641
398 # create a digital clock display in upper right corner 642 $term->{overlay} = $term->overlay (-1, 0, 8, 1, urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE, 0);

406 $self->scr_overlay (-1, 0, 647 $term->{overlay}->set (0, 0,
407 POSIX::strftime "%H:%M:%S", localtime $time); 648 sprintf "%2d:%02d:%02d", (localtime urxvt::NOW)[2,1,0]);

413 654
414Create a new timer object in stopped state. 655Create a new timer object in started state. It is scheduled to fire
656immediately.
415 657
416=item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... }) 658=item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... })
417 659
418Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers. 660Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
419 661
422Return the time this watcher will fire next. 664Return the time this watcher will fire next.
423 665
424=item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp) 666=item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp)
425 667
426Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp. 668Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
669
670=item $timer = $timer->interval ($interval)
671
672Normally (and when C<$interval> is C<0>), the timer will automatically
673stop after it has fired once. If C<$interval> is non-zero, then the timer
674is automatically rescheduled at the given intervals.
427 675
428=item $timer = $timer->start 676=item $timer = $timer->start
429 677
430Start the timer. 678Start the timer.
