<h1>How to create a pixmap scrollbar for mlterm</h1>

<h2>1. Introduction</h2>

This document provides a simple guide for creating pixmap scrollbar for mlterm
using a pixmap_engine plugin. The pixmap_engine has been a part of mlterm
since version 2.8.0.

<h2>2. Image file</h2>

<p>
To create the pixmap scrollbar, you will need making images which construct a
scrollbar as the below figure. The images must be formatted as PNG, and you
must not change the file name. You need not make all images. For
example, in case of the below figure, there are not bg_top.png and
bg_bottom.png.
</p>

<div class="fig">
<img src="./HOWTO.images/fig1.png">
</div>

<h2>3. Location and 'rc' file</h2>

<p>
The pixmap scrollbar location is
$PREFIX/share/mlterm/scrollbars/[scrollbar_name]/ or
$HOME/.mlterm/scrollbars/[scrollbar_name]/. The first thing you will need to do
is to put the file called 'rc' into the [scrollbar_name] directory.  The 'rc'
file is a simple text file. It has some parameters which configure how the
pixmap scrollbar is shown. In the 'rc' file, lines starting with '#' are
ignored and the first line must be the following line:
</p>

<pre>
engine = pixmap_engine
</pre>

<h2>4. Parameter</h2>

<p>
For minimum configuration, you need the following parameters:
</p>

<table>
	<tr>
		<th>
		key
		</th>
		<th>
		type
		</th>
		<th>
