Basic color table help?

Alright, all I am trying to accomplish is a colored table resembling something like this:



Yeah, basic. No touch screen functions, no buttons, just a "board" persay displaying something like that. It's all for looks in a certain part of my map. For the life of me I cannot get a table to work. I've been looking up some programs on youtube and google, but it's not coming together.

Can I please ask for some help on this? It's driving me nuts.

What's the code you've got so far? "not coming together" is very vague, what's the problems with it? i.e. what is it doing, what is it meant to do, etc?

If by "table" you mean a lua table (similar to an array), there are a number of great posts on this subject as well as some excellent resources online elsewhere. Consider http://lua-users.org.../TablesTutorial

Basically, a table is a loosely defined collection of indexed values that may also have key values.

myTable =
{
	name = "Bob";
	age = 21;
	eyes = "brown"
}

In this case, myTable has 3 elements, each of which has an associated key value. So :

print (myTable.name) --will output Bob

Here is the same table without key values:

myTable =
{
	"Bob";
	 21;
	 "Brown"
}

In this case, you would use an index to reference the elements of the table:

print (myTable[1]) -- will output Bob

This barely scratches the surface on tables, but it is a start. You can create some pretty advanced data structures with tables in Lua. Try messing around in the interactive lua on a turtle or computer. From the shell (when a new computer or turtle boots up), type:

lua

You can make your own table and print statements to see what happens. Type ctrl-T to get back to the normal turtle or computer mode.

Well if it's just for display then why not just use 'paint <filename>' or 'monitor <side> paint <filename>' and use that as a display? .-.
You can then draw it onto a monitor like this

--# Wrap the monitor
local mon = peripheral.wrap("<Side>")

--# Redirect the terminal to the monitor
term.redirect( mon )

--# Clear the screen first
term.setBackgroundColor( colors.black )
term.clear()

--# Now load and draw the image
local image = paintutils.loadImage("<Filename>")
paintutils.drawImage( image, 1, 1 ) -- First 1 is x position and the second 1 is y position

--# And finally restore the term
term.restore()

But if you're looking for having text in it, It would be better to use NPaintPro by nitrogenfingers
