216similar information for each screen cell.
217
218The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
219never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
220as they contain important information required for correct operation of
221rxvt-unicode.

529
530Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
531C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
532this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
533
534=item $term->want_refresh
535
536Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
537compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
538differ, it redraws the differences.
539
540Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
541
542=item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
543
544Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
545is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
546terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
547line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
548
549If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
550line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
551to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
552automatically be updated.
553
554C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
555than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
556(C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
557that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
558characters in the private use area.
559
560You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
561that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
562characters.
563
564The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
565can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
566
567=item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
568
569Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
570bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
571styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
572
573When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
574
575See the section on RENDITION, above.
576
577=item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
578
579Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
580it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
581means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
582
583=item $text = $term->special_encode $string
584
585Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
586where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
587C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
588
589=item $string = $term->special_decode $text
590
591Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
