I know this is very simple question, but I simply cannot find the answer anywhere. When you create text with openperipheral glasses bridge there's a way to change it without re-drawing it(as that causes flicker) but I can't remember how, any help would be appreciated

local bridge = peripheral.wrap('left')
local text = bridge.addText(1,1, "hello world", 0xffffff)
text.setText("foo bar")

loop over the text table to see what else you can do

Much appreciated :)/> what would this be called? does each addText just make a table?

yes, when you add anything to the Glasses it returns a table, the table is representative of the element you've added.

How would you do this for addBox() or to change the coords of the text?

I don't get what you mean. you'd do it the same way? there's getters/setters for every property each element has.

What would you type to do this same kind of thing (changing what is already on the screen) for numbers, in case of coords, box sizes, or even colors.
