I'd like for the next version of Redworks to have all programs ascii adjust to any screen size a user has. I played around with the syntax, but i'm a pure noob at getting it to work. Any snippets or examples of how i should do it, please submit.
Heres a quick program for example. How would i have this Fit to any GUI size a user has.
Spoiler
term.setCursorBlink( false )
function clear()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end
function topBar()
print(" **"..os.version() .."0 [+] Redworks "..redworks.version().."**")
end
function mainMenu()
redworks.showWindow(7,4,36,10,"Redworks Control Panel","n 1.XXXXX 4.XXXXX 7.XXXXXnn 2.XXXXX 5.XXXXX 8.XXXXXnn 3.XXXXX 6.XXXXX 9.XXXXX")
end
function bottomBar()
term.setCursorPos(1,17)
print("PC-ID# " .. os.getComputerID())
term.setCursorPos(18,17)
print("[".. redworks.getUser().."]")
term.setCursorPos(40,17)
print("["..textutils.formatTime( os.time(), false ).."]")
end
clear()
topBar()
mainMenu()
bottomBar()
term.setCursorPos(1,9)
print"PREVnn<---"
term.setCursorPos(46,9)
print"NEXT"
print"nn--->"
while true do
bottomBar()
fault, event, param1, param2, param3 = pcall(os.pullEvent)
if fault == false then
elseif event == "key" and param1 == 2 then
clear()
break end
end

You can make use of term.getSize() which returns two values: the maximum x and y value of the terminal.
I hope this isn't too vague. If it is then I'd be happy to give you an example.

ScreenX, ScreenY = term.getSize()
-- lets say you wanted a line across the top
print (string.rep("-",ScreenX - 1))
-- Basically you have to change everywhere in your code that does something at a certain part of the screen.
term.setCursorPos(1,9)
term.setCursorPos(1,math.ceil(ScreenY / 2))
term.setCursorPos(46,17)
term.setCursorPos(ScreenX - 4, ScreenY - 3)

This is a function I'm using for my codes atm:
-- Centers text for given string 's' and given 'y'-coordinate.
-- Also if the third parameter is 'true' the line is cleard before writing to it.
function writeCentered( s, y, ... )
local sizeX, sizeY = term.getSize()
local x = math.ceil( ((sizeX - 1) / 2) ) - math.ceil( #s / 2 ) + 1 -- Favors left-aligned centering if the length of the string is an odd number.
term.setCursorPos( x, y )
if arg[1] then term.clearLine() end
write( s )
end
-- Test Inputs
term.clear()
writeCentered( ">......................>MM<.................1234<", 4 ) -- The terminal is x = 50 wide, but you can only write x - 1 = 49 characters without a forced new-line.
writeCentered( ">......................>MM<.................123<", 5 )
writeCentered( ">......................>MM<.................12<", 6 )
writeCentered( ">......................>MM<.................1<", 7 )
writeCentered( ">......................>MM<.................<", 8 )
print()
