 Function term.blit | |
| Added by ComputerCraft 1.74, term.blit functions in nearly the same manner as term.write(), but instead of using the current text and background colours, it accepts additional strings specifying colour codes for each individual character. In some circumstances this removes the need to make multiple term.setTextColor() / term.setBackgroundColor() calls, allowing complex displays to be rendered in a far more efficient manner. Each character in the text/background colour strings must be a valid "paint" symbol from ComputerCraft's list of colours (eg, "a", "3", "e", etc), and the three strings must each be of the same length. Note that only advanced systems can render in colour - if unsupported shades are requested on a normal system, no error will occur, but black will be used instead. | |
