Ive been searching around for a while and I haven't found anything yet and Im not too familiar with open peripherals, the general Idea of what I want to do is use the terminal glasses as an external monitor (Image below) while also being able to resize/move the position of the glasses monitor and being able to click the buttons on the glasses monitor.

I'm not sure I get what you're trying to do. There's no way to click the display on a terminal glass.

The drawing part and all that is possible, but making buttons and such clickable isn't, that is, if you don't do some tedious work by setting up a computer that's hooked up to the glasses and a pocket computer aswell( I mean through rednet ), where the pocket computer would serve as a controller.
This probably isn't the ideal solution you are looking for, but this is probably the only one that would kind of meet your requirements.

what I'm trying to do is use my glasses as a program to monitor the reactor controller program (
Github) witch uses an external monitor to display the stats and whatnot but I'm cool with not using the buttons.
Also lets say i wanted to run it on the same glasses as the Deadglasses monitoring program is that possible?

As long as the DeadGlasses program isn't overwriting what you want to put there, it's entirely possible.

You'd have to modify it, and make absolutely sure that neither program deletes the stuff the other one shows, but yeah you can do it. Not sure if you can term.redirect to a glasses.

You'd have to figure out if a terminal glass can be redirect to, as well as figuring out where to edit the 1600 line program to not clear the rest of the screen, and draw where you want.

is there a way to just change the output in the code?

As I said, it's possible, but you'd have to override the monitor variable with the terimal glass, and at the same time, make sure that it doesn't clear.
