# Usage: perl mit-screen-saver-external.pl
#
# This is an example of an external screen saver using the MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
# extension (X11::Protocol::Ext::MIT_SCREEN_SAVER).
#
# MitScreenSaverSetAttributes() sets up the program to be an external saver
# and defines the saver window attributes for when the saver turns on.
# MitScreenSaverSelectInput() sets up to listen for when the saver does in
# fact turn on.  Then redraw() is a moving blob in the saver window while
# active.
#
#
# Drawing:
#
# redraw() is done on a timer at $frame_rate many times per second.  An
# IO::Select is used to wait for either an event from the server or the
# desired time.  When the saver is off there's no timeout, just wait for
# events.
#
# The timeout ought to be the time from now until the next draw is due, and
# in theory the time ought to be only until the blob moves by a whole pixel.
# But it's much easier to consider a draw every select().  This is normally
# fine since there shouldn't be many events from the server and so most
# selects end for time not for input.
#
# The main loop also listens to STDIN for "f" from the user to force the
# screen saver on, so you don't have to wait to see the demo.  In a real
# program you'd probably ignore STDIN since the program would usually run in
# the background with stdin either closed at startup or ignored.
#
# An error handler guards against the saver turning off during drawing.
# When the saver turns off the saver window cannot be used and drawing to it
# results in Drawable or Window errors.
#
# An error handler is necessary.  Errors from drawing can't be avoided by
# checking the saver state.  Even if the saver is On when the drawing
# requests are sent out it might be off by the time those requests reach the
# server.
#
# The drawing isn't very sophisticated, but does try to reduce flashing by
# clearing only the newly revealed background part of the window when moving
# the blob.  A fancier program could draw a new frame to a pixmap and then
# copy that to the screen, or similar with the DOUBLE-BUFFER extension if
# available (X11::Protocol::Ext::DOUBLE_BUFFER).
#
# Incidentally the saver window doesn't have to be the full screen.  It can
# be something in the middle of the screen, leaving some normal screen
# content around the edges (which will update as normal if any clients are
# drawing, such as a clock).
#
#
# Another Screen Saver Running:
#
# The error handler notices an Access error from
# MitScreenSaverSetAttributes() which occurs if there's another external
# saver program running already.  MitScreenSaverSetAttributes() doesn't have
# a reply when successful, so only the error packet says it didn't work.
# A round-trip QueryPointer ensures any error is detected before going into
# the main loop.
#
# Xlib XScreenSaverSaverRegister() has a scheme where a running saver
# program identifies itself by an XID stored in an "_MIT_SCREEN_SAVER_ID"
# property on the root window.  That allows an existing saver to be forcibly
# killed ($X->KillClient()) if desired, though whether that's a good idea
# when starting a new saver is another matter.  There's nothing in
# X11::Protocol::Ext::MIT_SCREEN_SAVER for that as yet.  Some care might be
# needed when owning that property not to leave behind a bogus XID if killed
# (because that XID could be assigned to another client).  Perhaps
# SetCloseDownMode() to preserve an identifying pixmap.
#
#
# Other Ways to Do It:
#
# For reference, the xscreensaver program has other ways to do a saver, as
# described in the comments at the start of its xscreensaver.c.  In addition
# to MIT-SCREEN-SAVER it can detect idleness with the old (and perhaps no
# longer available) XIdle extension, or with the SCREEN_SAVER on SGI Irix,
# and can even try some slightly nasty keypress events and polling the mouse
# pointer position.  And then it normally prefers to blank with an
# override-redirect window covering the screen.
#
# Apparently xscreensaver struck server bugs in the MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
# extension and for that reason recommends XIdle or SGI SCREEN_SAVER in its
# config.h.in.  Recent X.org servers don't seem to crash, and the note in
# config.h.in about trouble "fading" with MIT-SCREEN-SAVER might be due to
# setting a background_pixel colour in the way done in the code here.  If
# you omit that then like other windows the saver window leaves existing
# screen content unchanged when it's mapped.  (And from there could be
# manipulated with colormap trickery, or perhaps RENDER extension merging,
# or even some GetImage/PutImage.)
